The dinosaur was also a viking.
RummageSaleBubbler
TLDR; Dinosaurs, lead by T-Rex, venture to the moon but face lunar perils, hampered by T-Rex's small arms. Humans, wielding their newly developed big arms (nuclear prowess), triumph where dinosaurs stumbled.

A great way to annoy religions.

We should have left the flag with the human figure on the moon, for clarification
TheMayo16
We should send some bodies to the moon so future space explorers can find them
elbowdeepinawhateverthatis
The real question is how tf did biomatter decay in a vacuum :/
amglasgow
The corpse would be mummified rather than skeletonized.

Instead of Houston on his radio, Dinosaur Space Empire that has clearly only just landed on the moon a few months ago and is getting ready for Earth: "A bigger problem than you know, tasty ape."
ironymus
Just imagine the poor Dino standing in the moon, the biggest achievement of all dinosaurs and then he has to watch the asteroid hitting the earth and wiping out all his kind!

tbh finding something on the moon from a previous civilisation that arose on earth would be absolutely kickass.
RummageSaleBubbler
See. A T-Rex can only hold its breath for about 5 minutes. Just long enough to plant a flag.
SmashySashimi
Well, at least he’s still the first man on the moon.
BeaverOnFire
Ook?
SoraHjort
And on the bright side, the dino is most likely not even the first living thing to reach the moon. Meteorites kick up a lot of stuff on impact, enough it could send some hardy microscopic creatures into orbit.

Nope, there's a Viking ship right next to it.

If NASA found proof of anyone else landing on the moon they would probably be ecstatic because it would guarantee that they would get massive amounts of additional funding to go back repeatedly.
ChromePlatedEquator
How could the dinosaur decay to bones in an airless environment?
RummageSaleBubbler
Similar to a Whale Fall on Earth, the worms do a majority of the work.

idiotsonfire
I thought we determined the T.Rex primarily inhabited temperate North American regions, isn't that their origin?
LittleKnownOne
The point is that flags are normally "countries." Explorers/conquers don't normally plant a flag with a picture of humans.
idiotsonfire
Alright, while a fair counterpoint, maybe they were egalatarian enough to not devolve into this idea of "countries" and "borders," and had a culture that welcomed all large Saurians.

Would there only be bones left? Would the suit and flesh remain also? Wouldn’t the whole thing have disintegrated by then? It has been presumably around 70 million years since that ill-fated landing.
WhatAreYouTalkingAboutEh
Vacuum ablation
Santorrr
T. Rexes were able to spacewalk without suits. This is a known fact.
bingotown
Very very sun bleached, pelted with meteors of varying sizes, and possibly buried under the regolith tossed up by impacts and settled back down.
BangPowBoom
There was no suit. It's why he's dead.
undeadnavy
That's why it's a problem.
Arook1
Easy answer glass and metal would have survived. We see none. Dino was holding breath that's why it died. Rex's are Dino elites (see) flag, Strong but not smart. Other dinos built ship. this dino wanted to show boat and it didn't work out.
MrShadewing
T Rex lived between something like 80 to 66 million years ago. It is believed that the moon had an atmosphere about 70 million years ago so lack of a suit may be correct.
Maybe there was something toxic the dinos didn’t detect and that is what killed the Rex.
dingofdong
I mean, if you're talking about the finding based on lunar magma analysis which was announced a few years ago, I believe the finding was actually that there was a "relatively thick" atmosphere for a period of 70 million years or so... but it was 3-4 billion years ago. Even then, "relatively thick" is an estimated surface atmospheric pressure of about 10mbar, or roughly 1.5 times the current surface atmospheric pressure of Mars; possibly enough for some microbial life, but nowhere near enough +
dingofdong
+ for complex multicellular organisms (even if any had evolved by that stage; sadly to my knowledge, the first concrete evidence we have for truly multicellular life here on earth is somewhere around 600 million to possibly up to 2 billion years old, depending on exactly how you define it, how generous you want to be in interpreting the fossil record, and which evolutionary biologists/palaeontologists you talk to).
Morg729
No, yes, and not necessarily
Spudd86
If it were exposed? Probably it would be dust.
mafiacarstarter
Fun fact: All of the paleontological reconstructions of T-Rex are wrong. They were actually just skeletons. No need to breathe and no organs, so no need for pressure suits. P.S. He isn't dead. His ship made a bad landing and he's just waiting for a ride back to Earth.
RPCharImages
Welll... I dont know what effect solar radiation might have, and moon dust is quite abrasive if I recall, so a suit would likely have failure points after 70million years, but any bacteria would either be dead or in hibernation in space so there might be a lot of mummification
WaterUnderTheRocketAppliances
There are anaerobic bacteria. Seems like they might be able to live for a while on the moon, at least until they finished eating the corpse.
Spudd86
Micrometres would have converted it into more dust, or buried it. 70 million years is a long time.
senseicombs
Not if the bones were that way when they arrived on the moon. Hmmmm, think about it.

That's not a problem - that's a lifetime's research and new knowledge about to open up.
cheeseguy3412
I want there to be a viking longboat under the skeleton.
MrRandom314159
The problem is how you train archeologists to be astronauts or astronauts to be archelologists.
skipweasel
The Apollo crews had considerable training as geologists.
q34tw4
Eh, it really depends whats going on in their world and when they found it. There could be so many different reasons as to why. Hell, the Trex couldve made it there the day before, from another world, and got vaporized by a species that doesnt want to share the moon and we could be next.
FuzzyX
Indeed, when scientists would love something like that one. Best would be a stash of lots abandoned alien technology in our solar system.

theduckening
"Vatican, we have a problem"
AMercer
There is a funny misconception about scientists and the idea of finding something that completely overturns everything they know about science. Scientists actually dream about doing that. They would not try to cover it up to preserve the status quo. They would be excitedly telling the world about it. Science is not a religion and it can be completely rewritten if new facts and evidence come to light. A scientist would be jumping for joy to find something like this.
DrKonrad
Well in science that's exactly the definition of a problem: a lifetime of research and new knowledge waiting to be discovered
keyblader1985
May be splitting hairs, but I don't think most scientists would look at that as a "problem" in the traditional sense of the word. That would excite the hell out of me.
DrKonrad
I agree, the common meaning of a "problem" is an issue, something we don't want, while a "scientific problem" is more a "question" or "challenge" if you will. Scientists are excited by problems.

joshuasplinth
Right? I’m curious though, why no space suit?

Don't you know dinosaurs could breathe in space? Gods, the murrican education system sucks.
eetsumkaus
So yeah, a problem
Horsenippleking
It would be a fun idea. Like the government doesn’t really have a reason to hide that but at the same time like Dan rather coming on tv in 69 to say “so uh we found a dinosaur spaceship. That’s fucked up right?” Is wacky. Someone should write that book

And now, for the rest of the story...

Yeah except for the fact that something killed that dinosaur and destroyed its lander. There's something else on the moon, and it's angry.

PineappleLoopsBroether
Pretty certain he’s heavily implying an /s
Clayman8
Same as gay marriage, therefor its fake and a sin.
ThingsThatDontJustifyGenocide
Also it wouldn't be bones, it'd either be tar(from the local bacterial fauna decaying it exclusively) or preserved(due to lack of atmosphere, and this is the most likely)
42underscores
It would actually be even less. We have already determined that any landing or meteor that hits the moon kicks up a bit of dust, but due to the lack of atmosphere the dust then flies around the moon and essentially sandblasts anything on the moon. It would be 65million years of sandblasting
Sandproblems
That’s the beauty. It shouldn’t be bones. But it is.
SalmonTheWise
It would be if it was killed by the flesh disintegrating death ray of the Martian recon team. Or if it was picked clean by the subterranean moon piranhas ( sublunary piranhas?). Or its soft tissues were absorbed into a shoggoth. Lots of possibilities.
DragoWhooves
Simple answer, there's Vashta Nerada on the moon
maday1br
Came to say the same. How it somehow skeletonized will certainly take and research.
Chronomechanist
Or, the moon used to have atmosphere and insect life which ate the flesh, leaving the bones, and then the atmosphere dissipated, leaving the bones to be bleached!
Or... Or!! It's a comic and perhaps we should just not analyse it so much. I dunno.
cuddleskunk
Surely the intense UV and other solar radiation would cause some notable deterioration...especially over the course of a minimum of 65 million years.
ThingsThatDontJustifyGenocide
That kills biological processes... thereby preserving the remaining tissues. It's not going to evaporate the tissues, though... or else the bones would be gone as well.
Tjitso
What about astroid impacts? Im sure in at least 65 million years there would be a lot that could have destroyed the remains
ThingsThatDontJustifyGenocide
Aye, and in that case there'd still be no bones.
Santorrr
Could be brittle as hell, though
SalmonTheWise
It's them hollow bones, goddamn birds.

You do know we have bacteria inside of us, right? And our immune system is the only thing that keeps it in check.
IndigoThursday
They would have evolved from the dinosaur's microbiome
gabicraina
(cocks pistol) Moon's haunted!
ThingsThatDontJustifyGenocide
Like Indigo said, the dino's own bacteria. If it survives: Tar
If it doesn't: Preserved.
angryregistrar
So.. probably internally decomposed and externally mummified? :|a
MarkOfTheCovenant
Okay, got it. I'm not too sharp, thanks for explaining it
