Now a bit of news closer to home and poor planning by NASA.
5 of the 6 American flags planted on the Lunar surface during the Apollo missions of the 1960's - 1970's have been found and are still standing. Buzz Aldrin believes that the sixth missing flag was toppled over by the rocket blast during their lift off from the surface (nice going Buzz).
And why should you/we care?
Because after 40+ years of ultraviolet bombardment and extreme temperature fluctuations, it is assumed that the flags are completely void of the familiar stars and stripes and now resemble that of a truce/surrender flag.

If we don't prioritize and send up replacement flags made from "spaceproof" material, chances are that our first visitors will assume we've already surrendered. Then, without warning or attempting to contact us, they will swoop down and invade by means of death and destruction. And nobody wants that, not even Will Smith.
