[Spaceships] Million Merchant Marathon

If the Moon had formed with a thick atmosphere it would have lost it to Jeans escape long before now, and if it were provided with a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere that atmosphere would evaporate to space in a millennium or so. The example of Titan doesn’t indicate that the Moon would be able to retain a thick nitrogen atmosphere, because the Moon is much hotter than Titan.
