It's completely barren. Who cares.

Out of curiosity, why?

I kind of view it kind of like Antarctica, where it's a little interesting as a park or preserve and there's research to be done that justifies sending some robots and people, then at some point a handful of tourists will visit it. It doesn't seem like it's worth trying to protect from resource prospectors who want to try make a claim, though. I'm on board with protecting moons like Io and Europa until we can do more research, though.

It's just an amazing piece of art in our sky. I would not want to see it get destroyed by human greed.

I dunno, I think the moon with city lights would be awesome
