It is pretty easy to get him on the moon the trick is get him there alive and back to earth.

Guess this is going to be their solution to over population. Ship them to the moon

To the Chinese National Space Administration,

Congratulations on soft landing a spacecraft with a rover on the moon.

Curiosity would like to send you a little picture from Mars.
