The qibla direction on the Moon

Question

The American astronauts who recently visited the Moon and brought back soil and the like from there have raised a question: if there is a need to pray there, how is the qibla direction to be determined? Since travelling to the Moon has become an established fact, it is also possible that Muslims will go to the Moon and need to pray there.

Answer

If going there and living there is not difficult, then how could finding out the qibla direction be difficult?
