Why do people say the moon is made of cheese?

[Kerbface]

Clearly, the only thing in our solar system made of cheese is Io. It even has mould. But to say that the moon is made of cheese... ridiculous.

[Rage097]

...It isn't?

...

...

What are these lies you speak?

[Uncle Mort]

NOooooo...........

My Space Program now has no point.

[Sᴄɪɴᴛɪʟʟᴀᴛᴏʀ]

Because it looks yellow sometimes.

[Rage097]

It is made of cheese! what is your issue Kerbface?

It's so blatantly obvious:)

[last_user]

If your conditions for something being made from cheese involves mold, then wouldn't Earth be cheese since there is a lot of mold?

[ZedNova]

Because ancient people were very hungry, so hungry that they had hallucinations of a big cheese ball in the sky. ( Even though they hadn't invented it at that time, it just sounded like a good idea)

Nope, the fact that you can see mold on it's obviously cheesy surface is simply further proof of something I already knew.

[LeonG17]

But the moon is cheese, otherwise why would we go there?

[Rage097]

All of the Mooncheese

ALL OF IT.

[chobit-389]

Because humanity has the intellect of soup. The End

[Rage097]

But wouldn't the Mooncheese go great with the Laythecrab soup?

[Flymetothemun]

Maybe because the Moon and Swiss Cheese both look similar?

[Rage097]

Maybe because the Moon and Swiss Cheese both look similar?

No, because swiss has holes via bacteria. and the Moon cannot support a bacterial colony and therefore is a completely different type of cheese: Mooncheese. Or in KSP: Müncheese

[Camelotking524]

Because the moon looks like a big wheel of swiss cheese.

[Rage097]

ITS NOT SWISS. It is not holy enough to be swiss and cannot support the bacteria needed.

IT IS MOONCHEESE

[Kerbface]

Because the moon looks like a big wheel of swiss cheese.

Nonsense. Swiss cheese wheels look nothing like the Earth moon.
