Nor will he have to go through customs, unlike the Apollo moonwalkers, who
LANDED in a "foreign" country.

Unfortunately for Steve, this flight won't count as a cross-country, since
he won't land at an airport at least 50 nm from his departure airport.

Foreign? Uh-uh. Soon as that footpad touched down, it was U.S. soil by
historical custom. We oughta declare it the 51st. state so's it don't revert
to the "Abandoned Property" file.

Yeah, that's the ticket. Jim Weir for the first Governor of the State of
Luna! We Ilk could emigrate, become Lunatics and Jim could be our leader.

Beg pardon. It's a slow morning and it's raining.

Buzz, I need either you, Neil, Pete, Jack, Eugene, or one of the other
remaining native moonwalkers. See, I think this planet is ripe for a casino
and I need to partner-up before I apply for the gaming license.

I'm thinking Jefferson Starship for the lounge.
Got any original members?
No. But I own 1/8 rights to the name.

What design considerations would come into play for homebuilt aircraft in
that environment? Recycling of worn-out or abandoned equipment would reduce
the cost.

Making mine out of gold foil. It's expensive, but easy to work with.

Hey, Part 103 is still 254 lbs. That's a Warrior up here :-)

Yeah, but your Warrior wings aren't going to do you any good up there.
Nor will your prop. Or your Lycoming. You may also want consider
upgrading to a pressurised ship. :-)

The best part is the key word in Part 103 is "weighs." There is an
important semantic difference between weight and mass, because 254
lbs weight in lunar gravity is quite a bit more airplane than 254 lbs
weight on earth... so much for the need for sport plane/sport pilot!

Right, but don't most cities require you to be a resident of said city, to
become mayor? I see a problem, commuting to the city council meetings, too.

Well, *except* for the fact that the U.S. government was already a signatory
to an international treaty _disclaiming_ any such claims of territorial
ownership "in space".
