Oh come on. Everyone knows that after planting the flag, Neil Armstrong licked the ground and by official playground rules... Mine! Was declared making the moon property of the US 😂
Fun fact: Moon dirt, formally known as lunar regolith, is incredibly sharp. The particles it's made up of aren't weathered by wind or water like they are on earth, so it's basically a soil made out of tiny tiny knives. If you breathe it in or lick it, it'll tear your insides apart like super-asbestos.
