Analogies are /fun/. Anyways, just recently Russia launched a robot to land on the moon's "south pole", to try to get there before India. Last time Russia did anything on the moon was 1976, from what I read. Anyways, it had trouble orbiting, and crashed on the moon. Might be an example of the argument in this chapter.What's this about not being able to walk on the moon? They have interstellar travel.
