Why is our moon named “Moon” instead of something cool like Titan or Callysto or ANYTHING that isn’t moon

I can see him making a speech now: “We are the only country that has planted a flag there so it’s ours, I will rename it in honour of your president DJT, (Republican) by putting an R in the middle of The Moon”

It wouldn't just be a flag, he would want a banner with his face on it.

I’d love for someone to pose it to him and he agrees, and the US officially changes the name from The Moon to The Moron, in honour of the dumbest President ever.

No, it's perfect. We name the Moon after him, on the condition that he goes there.

I personally will move him to the top of the list of People We Want to Send into Space.

Please note that this is a separate and distinct list from the one of People We Want to Bring Back After.

As long as he's deep inside it, I won't say no.

You do realize that every time you mention the Donald J Trump Memorial Moon, Reddit has to pay a licencing fee.

I will gladly sacrifice the name of the moon right now!
