"Cine a fost pe Lună?"
Translation:Who was on the moon?

It should be "who has been to the moon" - "a fost" is always "has been", like "Eu am fost" = "I have been". It's the present perfect, not past tense. "Who was on the moon?" would be "Cine era pe lună?" - notice "era" being the past tense form of "fi" (to be).
How about "Who went to the moon?" or "Who has been to the moon?" as translations?
Those two indicate a movement. Can "a fi" be used to describe a movement?
I've never seen "Luna" with a capital L before (apart from at the beginning of a sentence, obviously). Is this correct?
Wondering the same thing myself - either that or the name of a person, like from Harry Potter!

In England, we usually call Earth's moon, the Moon to distinguish it from other moons; Callisto, Europa, Titan, and Cheiron.
In Star Wars, it is "That is no moon," not "That is no Moon," but when they are going to a particular moon, Luke could write, "We are landing on the moon," or "We are landing on the Moon."
Does Romanian make the same distinction?
Now I imagine Harry Potter landing on Luna.
