Kicking off international space laws and who can claim what. Moon is far more easy to get to than Mars, and could be a base point to get to Mars (don't have to break the same gravitational pull to get to space from the Moon, etc if you can build. Obviously far fetched, but say he could pull it off and create his own country called Muskrat or something. Settles on the moon and claims a decent chunk of it as settled and that he owns it. What would other countries do? Space war? Maybe. Be interesting though no?

Who's to say Humans once didn't occupy the moon, Earth is the new claim because look what they did to the moon?
Who's to say humans didn't evolve from bacteria in water droplets that were picked up via an asteroid before it hit the earth.
Who to say about anything in this funny ol world. But one can be sure Donny is out of control.
