Help solve one of philosophy's greatest questions: Are we ready or deserving of having another moon?
Many planets have more than one moon, while the ones that have only one or none are pretty shabby. but do we deserve to have another large astronomical body tidally locked to our planet? (puny, pathetic man-made sattelites not included of course!!)
Having many moons does sound like fun. Take Jupiter, for example. He has dozens of moons - almost a hundred, some named, others still waiting for an identity. Jupiter's orbit is thus pretty crowded - think of much chatting all those moons must have, all the time. But Jupiter can handle it. It's a big planet, it would feel so bored without his little friends. But we are not like Jupiter. Earth is a mcuch calmer, much more patient planet. The relationship she has with the moon is sacred. They both don't talk much - they just silently look at each other, all the time, with love in their eyes. Another moon would be just too much - and Mother Nature had understood it already.
