Man is a hungry thing, he wants to possess as much as he can. The moon we say is our planets satellite, but is it? We avoid definitions that would claim it otherwise and why? Even though it's quite simple when you think on it, why don't we title it a planet? Are we so desperate to own the moon? A giant rock in space? It would sell just as well on ebay, even if it wasn't a satellite, maybe even better, a stake in another planet. We could say we've gone to other planets, and wouldn't that be a fascinating notion?
Bonus thought: Oh, and why does every other planet get cool names for their planets? Naming our moon, Moon? Why not rename the earth Planet? Or the Sun, Star? Weird, it's just weird.
