So where did the astronauts go? We like to call it the "moon", but this does not seem to coincide with your concept of what the moon is, and where it is. So what IS that big chunk of rock orbiting the earth, which astronauts visited and discovered no life upon? THIS satalite is clearly reachable my mechanical means. Basically I dont think we're talking about the same celestial body here. And why would anyone be silly enough to translate "Chandraloka" as "the Moon", if Chandraloka is a planet? --- - Dan Johnson And God said "Jeeze, this is dull"... and it *WAS* dull.
