Based on some new calculations NASA has concluded that lunar craters may be electrified. While trying to resist throwing in a few puns about the 'shocking news' it may legitimately create a problem for future lunar missions. The reason is that the craters may contain water; water we want to probe for signs of life and to use as a resource for a potential colony. Knowing the problem is good, but there are no obvious solutions given the lack of grounding available in the craters. That means people or instruments may remain charged for well over a minute.
You can see the video explanation here.
But I think electrifying the moon is pretty ridiculous...
especially when nobody's been there in over 30 years.
So don’t land in a crater.
It is not us ‘electrifying the moon’, the lunar craters may already be electrified.
The problem is not accidentally landing the in craters, it is getting the ice out of them.
They forget... we’re not going to the moon unless China invites us. ;-)
Or until a new president gets elected; or the private sector decides to go for it.
Leftists want us to stay put on the Earth so they have to create stories like this in order to quell any desire to go back.

This will not keep us on earth; just something we have to prepare for.
Electric Universe-worthy?
Cheers!

Velikovsky expected other discoveries through space exploration. He claimed that the planet Venus would be found to be extremely hot, since in his reconstruction, the planet was “candescent” in historical times. His thesis also implied the likelihood of a massive Venusian atmosphere, residue of its former “cometary” tail. And he claimed that the Earth would be found to have a magnetosphere reaching at least to the moon, because he was convinced that in historical times the Earth exchanged electrical charge with other planetary bodies.
Arrival of the space age was a critical juncture for Velikovsky, as data returned from the Moon, from Mars, and from Venus begin to recast our views of these celestial bodies. In 1959, Dr. Van Allen discovered that the Earth has a magnetosphere. In the early sixties, scientists realized, much to their surprise, that the planet Venus has a surface temperature as high as 900 degrees Fahrenheit, hot enough to melt lead. “The temperature is much higher than anyone would have predicted,” wrote Cornell Mayer.
Things grew more promising for Velikovsky. In 1962, two scientists, Valentin Bargmann, professor of physics at Princeton, and Lloyd Motz, professor of astronomy at Columbia, urged that Velikovsky’s conclusions “be objectively re-examined.” In support of this reconsideration, they cited his prior predictions about radio noises from Jupiter, the terrestrial magnetosphere, and an unexpectedly high temperature of Venus.
In July 1969, on the eve of the first landing on the Moon, the New York Times invited Velikovsky to summarize what he expected the Apollo missions to find. Velikovsky responded by listing nine “advance claims,” including remanent magnetism, a steep thermal gradient, radioactive hot spots, and regular moonquakes. All told, it was a remarkably accurate summation of later findings. But still, the scientific community was silent.

Moon craters are electrified???
If you want on or off the Electric Universe Ping List, Freepmail me.
Not to worry. The Chinese are on it ...
This can’t be true. Don’t you think Neil or Buzz probably ducked into a crater to drain the dragon a time or two? They’d have been goners.
Like this dude?
