Apollo 15's LEM Falcon, hit the moon so hard on landing that it cracked and buckled the engine bell. Apollo 15 and 17 had longer engine bells due to both LEMs being heavier.

Enclaves? I think there’s a fair few of them around, particularly in Europe.

Yep and it's an exhaustive summary of each one.

I think he’s referring the areas on northern African coast at the mouth of the Mediterranean. I forget the names.

Greenland, the largest island in the world, and is Danish soil, is much larger than the country of Denmark itself on continental Europe.

But due to not having the correct type of soil, cannot host International FIFA matches which also means no FIFA qualification.

And these places have FIFA qualification but no UN membership:
American Samoa, Anguilla, Aruba, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Chinese Taipei, Cook Islands, Curacao, England, Faroe Islands, Gibraltar, Guam, Hong Kong, Kosovo, Macau, Montserrat, New Caledonia, Northern Ireland, Palestine, Puerto Rico, Scotland, Tahiti, Turks and Caicos Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands, Wales

If all the water was collected into a single drop, it would be about 1520 kms across.

I'm struggling to picture that little drop being able to cover the whole planet. Doesn't look big enough.
