If I got lost on the moon whats the best way to find home?
If I was on Earth you can use the sun to find directions, or you can follow a river downstream, or some people say you can get directions from looking at trees and plants or birds or which way the clouds are pointing, but none of that will work on the moon. If I got lost and had no tech gadgets to get home what can I do, cause its scary out there.

Because the Moon's rotation is tidally locked to Earth, the position and orientation of Earth will tell you where on the Moon you are, and give you an approximate sense of direction. Unless you're on the far side of the Moon, in which case you may be lost. However, in many regions of the Moon, you'll leave a trail in the dust that you can follow back to where you started.

since you will be ALL ALONE on the moon, there is no need to find your way....where-ever you go is home. When finished walking around and exploring, just get into your spaceship and advise base to "blast off and bring you home".

Look at the sun, then eat the moon rabbit. Your belly will be active when it's full.So now you can imagine the way backward the same as backward counting..
