It's the future, maybe it was terraformed?

doesn't change the fact that it's a satellite orbiting a planet, which makes it a moon by definition.

Umm, that would mean all satellites are moons. I seriously think you've got that definition backwards. Plus, moons are not the only kind of natural satellite... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_… sure they can be called moons as well, but they aren't strictly referred to as moons. 

That's like saying we have to be only be calling certain products by their actual names instead of the common brand name, like Gelatin, Bandage, and Fruit Drink(specifying Drink here because Kool-Aid is not juice) instead of Jello, Band-Aid, and Kool-Aid.

Of course, upon further research, being that it's not an exoplanet, it still would not be able to be called a planet. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exoplane… and unless I am mistaken it also can not be a rouge planet, as it is still within the milky way.

As such I concede this disagreement, as the point was that it was called a planet in the comic.
