“When the astronauts went to the moon, there was nothing there. They certainly weren't bored."

Yeah I think that might be because they were on the moon and not pressing WASD to walk around a fake moon

If you landed in an in-game fake moon it would be a wonderfully interesting plot thread.

I think I saw a documentary about that recently

Yeah they should 100% have a flat planet somewhere. Held up by a turtle.

It also bugs me that Bethesda keeps saying that the game is about exploration and finding new planets, but so far every planet I've visited has some kind of building upon it. Its clear that people have been on this planet before, so why the hell should I explore this planet? At least give me some incentive or a better reward for finding a true empty planet.

You're not wrong, but OTOH, it's pretty funny to see a planet having a building on it equated to the planet being explored, considering Earth was still being explored thousands of years after the first buildings.

Yeah thats true. In Bethesda's dictionary exploration means: find minerals, 7 life forms and 3 unique geological formations. And by unique we mean like on the other planets.

Or because they didn’t show up at the moon after a loading screen
