    Not rename, these where unnamed features that they where suggesting names for

  2. There are some new craters without names, and it would be amazing to discover and name fresh ones with each flyby or landing.

    Shush, if Donald finds out you can name things on the Moon, we’re fucked.

    Is there a reason why they shouldn’t be called the fantastic 4? Like common! 4 Astronauts, one is named Reed, one female astronaut all we need is like a solar flare to make there Mutant Genes to kick in and give them super powers..

  5. I have a kind of stupid question.. since we’re flying by and taking pictures and what not, would we be able to see the flag they planted all those years ago or at least evidence of us landing there to shut up the moon landing deniers. Like look here’s a picture of the flag we planted and you can clearly see where the lunar lander was and all that

    Someone come up with an explanation for the bright instillation in the mare?

  7. Who gives them the authority? They can’t name stuff cause they went “close ” by. How does this all work?

  8. Mount Marilyn is an important feature on the Eastern side of the Sea of Tranquility that the Apollo astronauts would use as a navigation beacon, which was named during Apollo 8 for Jim Lovell’s wife. I like to point out Mount Marilyn to people every now and again because it’s a lovely story, the astronauts certainly have a right to name landmarks they discover

  9. They had a moment of silence after the announcement. Reid also was choked up on the radio. And then they shared tissues.
