TIL the Apollo 11 astronauts had to go through immigration in Hawaii when they splashed down because they had left U.S. borders. - eviltoast

I love that ‘moon’ is written under ‘place.’

    “Earth” literally just means “the dirt under your feet”.

    But most of us don’t identify our location so broadly. We say what state or country we’re in, and identify culturally that way. I imagine that won’t change when there are people living on the Moon. They’ll identify by the name of the base or settlement they live in.
