The Navajo Nation, just like Christianity or Islam, shouldn't be demanding nonbelievers conform their behavior to the Navajo (or Christian/Islamic) faith.
Fully agreed.
Humans have fucked this planet up enough and need to stop trying to spread their crap to other places.
No more shall man have wings to bear him to paradise. Henceforth, he shall walk.
First they make religious claims on the moon, but then they'll go for Mars, then Alpha Centauri, and then all of the other stars from constellations.

What's there to fuck up about the moon? It's a desolate dead moon.

Too late, the Romans already claimed other planets when those were named after their gods. >:)
Wait for it......wait, for it. Once two other posters get here we'll have ourselves an argument.

I mean... they don't have to send anyone.

The moon belongs to everyone on the planet Earth. The Navajo don't get to have a say what happens to the moon.

This is really cool, though. I would love to put my remains on the moon. I'd pay for it.

So there is something interesting to look at in the sky. It would be fun to see ghosts when you look up

When the asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs, all the dinosaur ghosts shot up and got trapped in the atmosphere. If you can't see them, that's on you. >:(

Butt there are Klingons orbiting Uranus.

Well, once again, the billionaires and tech companies are being dishonest to make themselves look like the good guys, the media is going along with it, and almost everyone has fallen for it.

The way they're spinning it is, the Navajo are saying "The moon is sacred to us, so we should get to decide what to do with it." This is a lie.

What the lawsuit is actually saying is, "The moon belongs to everyone in the world, and is sacred to many cultures like ours, so billionaires and tech companies shouldn't get to decide everything for themselves."

Once again, the rich tech bros have successfully controlled the narrative so that they are the heroic visionaries.

It was these superstitious religious folk who were trying to take control of the moon, not us! So just let us fuck around however we want and make the moon our plaything, and we'll make sure to keep spinning it so we're doing great things for all of humanity.

Hooray! Late stage capitalism wins again!

Thank you CE. Most of you are happy to help them along I see.

Send my remains into the far reaches of space.

Then, millions or billions of years from now some alien race finds my remains and somehow manage to extract my dna. They then clone me and I live again

No, Klingons orbiting dingleberries doesn't even make sense.

By all means you pay for the next mission. And when you do, you'll get to make the decisions.

Um, what? They're putting a physical bitcoin on the moon. It's a ridiculous thing to do, and a massive waste of time and money. Everybody knows that's just for stupid fuckwits who are easily taken advantage of. All this story does is make people look down on the "rich tech bros", lol.

which is probably good because the next thing the aliens will do is probing and then put you in a zoo or the hunger games or something

I accept it

How do you pollute the moon? It's already dead. And long as no one's messing with it's 2 jobs of reflecting sunlight and manipulating the tides, who gives a shit?

Besides the morons buying land on it, anyway.

For one, this isn't the first time this has come up. Human ashes were sent to the moon like 15 years a go and when the Navajo Nation objected then, the U.S. government promised to discuss it with them before doing it again, which they didn't.

For two, there's already so much human trash on the moon
There is no good. There is no evil. There just is.
