There is a Picard Crater on the Moon

Who knew?
But it is not as I, delirious with joy, first thought, named after the best captain in Starfleet, Jean-Luc Picard, but the 17th century geodesist, Jean Picard.
Jean Picard, noted French Geodesist
Jean-Luc Picard, noted Starfleet captain, giving Jean Picard the finger.
Picard, noted Moon Crater, giving no one the finger.
I’d rather have Jean-Luc. Tasty!

But where is crater #1, who will make it so?
Now I have a mission…
Since the Jean-Luc character was probably named for Jean, I’d say the crater is actually named after both of them.
I thought of that after I posted.
is there an earl gray crater?
Sadly, no. But Wikipedia has a list of all the named craters on the moon. I wonder who they decide who names the unnamed ones…
I may just have to Make it So!
