The UdSSR had a reason to deny moon attempts, whereas I can not see any reason to deny something like this in FG, it just doesn't make sense to me.
There is interest in implementing the possibility of landing on the moon. But this requires a clear plan. How is it going to be implemented? What is the design? Who will write the code?
If most motivating force is personal/national pride here - which Vostok vs. Shuttle story proved to me without a doubt, otherwise space projects with different historical background would be treated same - then same reason could be here.

The "cheap moon approach" you're talking about might have been shot down immediately by ... people like you, wouldn't it ?
it will become possible to circumvent much

So, I suppose, matter is not "stoppable/unstoppable". At least matter of good working thing.

In other words, a lightweight fgfs mode without terrain/scenery subsystems running at all, is unlikely to be "slow" compared to the rest of fgfs.
To make the point, poweroftwo's osgEarth integration is another set of patches that demonstrate how a completely new scenery/terrain engine can be implemented next to FlightGear, without requiring any endorsement or support by the community of FlightGear core developers.
PS: I suppose, Thorsten could be convinced to provide some pointers to make the EarthView 3D sphere/texture set configurable, so that people can tinker with other celestial bodies - and then take it from there, to generalize the whole idea/approach.
I'm surprised: How was the MiG-15 not treated the way you meant?
