− | Simple observation tells us that a an object sent on a moon flyby will enter solar orbit. The escape velocity of the earth is 11km/s but the escape velocity of the solar system is like four times that. Therefore, unless we accidentally accelarate the probe to over 40km/s, it will certainly remain in solar orbit.

− | There are only four comics listed in the JFK category and in two of them, the mention is incidental. I don't see any evidence that Randall "does not like that JFK", nor would I expect to.

− | :Randall may have been imagining an earth orbit, which would explain being able to see it. 'Co-orbiting the Sun' is just the pedantic idea that the earth and moon orbit a common centre of mass.[[Special:Contributions/141.101.77.212|141.101.77.212]] 16:12, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

− | the comic was mentioned in [http://what-if.xkcd.com/109/ What If #109]. --[[User:Valepert|valepert]] ([[User talk:Valepert|talk]]) 19:53, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

− | With this comic being referenced in what if 109, and the possibility of it becoming a recurring joke, I wonder it what if 13 is also relevant here, an attempt to destroy the Moon with lasers. {{unsigned ip|108.162.217.11}}

− | : You could make a point that What If 81 (Catch!) also references this, what with a woman with identical hair pointing a gun upwards and the image having the hover text "Goodnight, Moon". Also, 13 wasn't about destroying the moon with lasers, just illuminating it. It just ended up turning up the power so much it did. Which, y'know, happens. -Pennpenn[[Special:Contributions/108.162.250.162|108.162.250.162]] 03:12, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
