Planet Moon

BBC Breakfast News may not be the most rigorous or intellectual of the Corporation’s news broadcasts, but it often provides oddities worthy of comment.
Take this morning for instance. There was the NASA Big Cheese talking about sending men back to the Moon, and how it’s a little way off yet to talk about colonising the planet.
After all that fuss last year by the clever scientist folk about whether Pluto and a whole bunch of big rocks were planets, the Big Wigs still don’t seem to know what is and what isn’t one.
I thought everybody knew the Moon wasn’t a planet because it is made out of cheese. If it were then every time we went to Sainsbury’s NASA would be trying to land astronauts on the dairy counter.
