To be fair, they didn't land on it and encounter the Moon Spiders.

Does this happen to everyone who sees the backside of the moon first hand?

We have carefully studied classic Doctor Who (specifically “The Ambassadors of Death”) and… uh, it’s not looking good actually. Anyone have a wise and benevolent alien buddy on speed dial?

That's prejudice against astronauts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zK-3...

Shit, Andrea!

Are we sure this isn’t more of a shape shifter situation? Like if we just ignore them and treat them like people they will just go with it and live as people.

The ghost in the Nutella bsky.app/profile/drey...

Excellent catch.

If the moon was haunted, a lot of boomers would already be haunted.... Wait....

I

They didn't find any ghosts but they did see a couple of birds

we simply have to move the earth out of the way so they can't land until we figure it out

I for one welcome our possessed cosmonaut overlords

gorilla masks, and bury the statue of liberty up to its neck. it's the only way.

Gotta quarantine them in a shiny Airstream trailer when they get back en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_...

Just adding my invincible image...

Orbital exorcism

I’m reminded of the Ray Bradbury story from The Martian Chronicles, I think it’s The Third Expedition, where the astronauts are telepathically deluded into thinking Mars holds an American small town populated by their dead relatives. It does not end well. Could this also happen on the moon?

ok

Reminds me of a short story where a spacewalk happens. Crew gets ready to go home, banging outside. It's one of the crew. But that crew member is already inside, terrified. The other is begging to be let in and claiming that's not the real one. Horrified me.

That was kinda the plot of a Johnny Depp movie: haunted astronauts

I think this was the premise of Apollo 18

First rule of haunted moon club....

Haunted by the moonshark

Buzz Aldrin's behaviour over the past 50+ years is like proof of concept that the moon is haunted, at least by weirdo trickster spirits, if not actual demons.

I, for one, expect to be haunting soon enough.

nah otherwise the captain would be holding his own eyeballs saying “libera te tutemet ex inferis”

Do people usually get time to prepare for hauntings? Like outside experts in de-haunting?

Transplanetary ghost war?

Pretty much the plot of the late lamented Defying Gravity series.

omg what kind do you have

I hope NASA has arranged for a priest to be present when the capsule opens just in case?

That's. No. Moon.

Welcome them back with open arms. I mean, can moon ghosts be anything but an improvement on earth monsters?

wait, there are people who aren't haunted?

They have to pick up the gun first. Don’t want the Moon to know we’re on to her

yasssss ~ this is the thing. I've been trying to warn the population of possible possessions by demonic moon beings & no one takes me seriously except that pervy fema guy & other such government douchebags. it sucks. moon is fuckin' haunted.

Problem is, haunted/zombified astronauts coming home is usually when the movies end.

UPDATE THE MEME THE ASTRONAUTS ARE HAUNTED

Who knows what possessions occurred while they were behind the moon?

My bad spelling is to be blamed on the moon-ghosts btw

I swear there's an Outer Limits episode that covers this scenario. Though it's also an Outer Limits episode so I think the plan outlined is "Lol everyone dies" 🤔

nasa employee: oh hey u guys are back early astronaut: moon's not haunted nasa employee: what? astronaut: *loading a pistol and staring dead eyed at nasa employee* moon's not haunted

Moon’s haunted. Click.
