We should name the moon. Most people don't call their pets "dog" or "cat". (lemmy.world)

The moon is a satellite...

And could still carry a name. People assign names to all types of machines, aka: satellites.

Yes and the name we gave it was moon. And satellite means object in orbit around a planet. It's not a necessarily a machine.

Moon is a dull name. It needs something better.
