The Twitterverse is scratching its head over a tweet from "Extremely Stable Genius" Donald Trump (I know, not really a rare occasion) in which he says the Moon is part of Mars.

Note: the Moon is definitely NOT a part of Mars.

"For all of the money we are spending, NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon - We did that 50 years ago. They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a part), Defense and Science!"
