Interesting that the "40 years of Lander" article doesn't mention the 
McDonald's in the GT40 version.  A couple of the commenters refer to it; if you 
were close enough the astronaut would walk over and order "two cheeseburgers 
and a Big Mac to go".  If you were right on, it would give you a particularly 
rude message about destroying the only McDonald's on the moon.

I wonder if any of the later Lander programs copied that bit of fun.  It was an 
early "Easter Egg", probably before that term became common.
