When NASA was preparing for the Apollo Project, they took
the astronauts to a Navajo reservation in Arizona for training.

One day, a Navajo elder and his son came across the space
crew walking among the rocks. The elder, who spoke only Navajo,
asked a question that the son translated, "What are all these
guys in the big suits doing?" One of the astronauts said that
they were practicing a trip to the moon.

When his son relayed this comment, the Navajo elder got all
excited and asked if it would be possible to give to the
astronauts a message to deliver to the moon. Recognizing a
promotional opportunity when he saw one, a NASA official
accompanying the astronauts said, "Why certainly!" Then he told
an underling to get a tape recorder.

The Navajo elder's comments into the microphone were brief.
The NASA official asked the son if he would translate what his
father had said. The son listened to the recording and laughed
uproariously. But he refused to translate.

So the NASA people took the tape to a nearby Navajo village
and played it for other members of the tribe. They too laughed
long and loudly but also refused to translate the elder's message
to the moon.

An official government translator was summoned. After he
finally stopped laughing the translator relayed the message:

"WATCH OUT FOR THESE WHITE IDIOTS THEY SPEAK WITH FORKED TONGUE AND,
THEY HAVE COME TO STEAL YOUR LAND."

LOL...

NASA is still working on territorial expansion.

They are pretending to be pro-democracy and to end communism.
They've been trying to conquer the RED PLANET for several years
now without much success...

The legal situation with ownership of extraterrestrial land is quite complicated. There are several offices that sell land on the moon. The legality of the titles of course is questionable.
