Why can't I land on...da Mooon?

[Annoluce]

Dear CMDR,
perhaps a dozillion times question... Why?
I was landing yesterday on a moon in the Vega system, turns out that on the surface it resembles quite accurately our old good Moon.
So wondering... What prevents Delvs from releasing a fully landable Moon? I mean, our beloved satellite.
Is it because they would need to re-create every single inch and crater to avoid being hit by the precisionists?
Is it because it will be part of the future release?
Oh how good it would be to land there: historical Apollo sites, you know... Perhaps 2001 monolith place... Perhaps historical Apollo descent route plotted on the HUD... 1999 Moonbase Alpha... And so on and so forth.
Why?

Because the moon at this point is a massive city spaceships arent allowed to fly in

Because the moon is being converted into a Dyson Swarm.

I had one of them. usless on picking up Cat hair.

But, FD has stated in the past it will be for future expansions but it's been quiet since then.

I'd love to visit the Apollo sites in game... and in real life...

 

[Lightspeed]

Trouble is .... more moon landings are planned in real life, which makes it difficult for a game based in the distant future

But no reason why they can't add them later.

The Moon is a gated community.

Because your ship's thrusters would melt the cheese

 

[Bob McBobblehead]

Because it would uncover the truth. Man really never went to the moon, it was all done in Hollywood.
The biggest story is that the universe is not real, and your ship is made of polygons and texture maps.

 

[Taimaru]

Because the moon is made out of cheese and Frontier haven't developed Cheese Landings yet.

 

[thistle]

Moonites.

 

[Wes_7569]

you can only land on the moon if you own property there

 

[Vandaahl]

There is no moon...

 

[Ezren]

Watch out Chicago, cartoon characters are coming to get you!

 

[Sir.Tj]

I supect it's this guys fault...

 

[Kaocraft]

Place your bets now: Moon Landing in Elite Dangerous, or next Moon Landing by NASA, which will arrive first?

 

[Ezren]

I supect it's this guys fault...

I supect it's this guys fault...

I supect it's this guys fault...

I supect it's this guys fault...

Appropriately distributed blame.

 

[Kaocraft]

Or Mars for that matter.

 

[Sir.Tj]

Or this maniac!!!

 

[Nutter]

Because 'Cheese'

 

[askavir]

Mars has an atmosphere.

The Moon (and Titan for that matter), no idea, maybe "future content" like the bazillion permitted systems.
