Hmmmm....reading this page reminds me of an Isaac Asimov novel: "The Man Who Sold the Moon."

It was all about business, and politics played a very minor part in the story. Makes one wonder whether it could happen that way in reality.

Yeah, I put the following in the sig

Why is it adding the extra space?

Technically, I'm American...though I'm also Canadian.

After all, I live in North America, therefore I'm American, as are those of you from the US, Mexicans, Guatamalans, etc

The Moon's name is...The Moon, in the English language. As that's the word that the vast majority uses, it could be argued that The Moon is the proper name by virtue of popular usage.
