That's pretty good. I just want them to just use their moon rover to push over the flag we did there. We wouldn't be able to set it back up.
Funny thing is, that's already happened for Apollo 11, 14, and 15. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter satellite has imaged the Apollo landing sites and could only see the flags standing upright for Apollo 12, 16, and 17. After 11's flag was unexpectedly blown down during the return to Earth from the ascent stage rocket's exhaust gases, NASA decided to put the flags on subsequent missions farther away from the lander. Didn't seem to work for 14 and 15.
But there's a fun and actually heartwarming twist. All the dye in the flags has been bleached out by solar radiation. They'd be recognized as American flags by the sewing stitches if you look really close-up, because the Apollo flags all had the stripes and stars stitched together. But from a distance they'd be pure white, as if we really did come in peace.
Haha, so my plan would require them bringing a little americna flag to throw down because we already shit thr bed on ours. That's great.
That would be the longest rover trip ever by a factor of like several thousand.
Good, that would force us to watch knowing we can do nothing to prevent it. The suspence might even get congress to approve making a moon battle bot to send them to stop them.
