When people think of the moon, they often envision it as a cold, static body. However, when the Apollo moon missions landed on the moon\\u2019s surface, they were actually able to record seismic activity dubbed \\u201cmoonquakes.\\u201d These findings suggested our cold, dusty neighbor was more geologically active than expected, but it was only recently that scientists were able to link these past seismic recordings to actual fault lines observed by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter since its launch in 2009. This week, Charlie dives into new research about the moon to discuss the interesting science as well as the recent media reports about Jeff Bezos, NASA, and SpaceIL\\u2019s intents to return us to the lunar surface.
