Well, this seems to be a danger, if you go to the moon.

The Nasa had to register their property at the Lunar Real Estate Agency.

(That is right there, at the corner of Mare Tranquilitatis. Easy to find 
- or ask for the way.)

Well, depends on how you define 'problem'. Refugees are kind of annoyed, 
since Germany is actually cold in winter and life in a refugee camp is 
boring.

But that's about it.

Germans (on the other hand) fear to get killed, while asleep by 'Jihadists'.

Other fears are related to lack of jobs and affordable apartments, since 
refugees seemingly want to have, what many Germans are also locking for.

I have not thrown any country into chaos. But apparently you are 
addressing Germany with 'throwing .. into chaos'.

But let me inform you, it haven't been Germans, who invaded 
Iraq/Syria/Libya (just to mention a few).

Second: 'taking part' was meant as an opportunity (for a career as 
astronaut), not as 'shipping off'.

(at least partially...)
