It is closer to Mars or the Sun, yet we have no satellites to study the Moon closer. We can put a rover on Mars, but never on the Moon. Strange, no?

the post was wrong to begin with so making a guess on a wrong premise can still mean the train of thought is right

No. Not having satellites around the moon does not make guessing that it’s gravitationally impossible a good guess. Because obviously it’s not gravitationally impossible

i didnt say it was impossible the original post did, the difference in mass would be the only possible thing i can think of to explain why the moon would not have satelittes. can you think of another possible explaination?

The original post did not say it was impossible. It (yes, incorrectly) said that there weren’t any and asked why.

So if we assume a hypothetical timeline in which there actually were no satellites orbiting the moon, we can say for a fact that the reason would not be because of gravity, because obviously the gravity situation is perfectly fine for satellites
