So everyone is just going to ignore this jaw droppingly dumb statement at the start of the article?

"New measurements show moon has hazardous radiation levels"
Astronauts would get 200 to 1,000 times more radiation on the moon than what we experience on Earth—or five to 10 times more than passengers on a trans-Atlantic airline flight, noted Robert Wimmer-Schweingruber of Christian-Albrechts University in Kiel, Germany.
Also, the hand wringing about adding a crater to the Moon’s surface is just laughable. The whole surface is cratered, a tiny man made one wouldn’t even be noticeable.
"Did they ever think to try this suspicious idea, Yes."
"Did anything as such ever occur? Don't be proposetheorist!"
