    lol find out on Mon. the 26th.

    NASA: We have a major announcement about the moon!
    Everyone else: Cool, what?
    NASA: I know something you don't know...


    Edit: here is a little bit more info about the news.

    https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-to-announce-new-science-results-about-moon

    NASA to Announce New Science Results About Moon
    NASA will announce an exciting new discovery about the Moon from the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) at a media teleconference at 12 p.m. EDT Monday, Oct. 26. Audio of the teleconference will stream live on the agency’s website.

    This new discovery contributes to NASA’s efforts to learn about the Moon in support of deep space exploration. Under NASA’s Artemis program, the agency will send the first woman and next man to the lunar surface in 2024 to prepare for our next giant leap – human exploration of Mars as early as the 2030s. Understanding the science of the Moon also helps piece together the broader history of the inner solar system.

    Briefing participants are:
    • Paul Hertz, Astrophysics division director at NASA Headquarters, Washington
    • Jacob Bleacher, chief exploration scientist for the Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters
    • Casey Honniball, postdoctoral fellow at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland
    • Naseem Rangwala, project scientist for the SOFIA mission, NASA’s Ames Research Center, Silicon Valley, California
    To participate in the teleconference, members of the news media should contact Felicia Chou at felicia.chou@nasa.gov by 9 a.m. Monday, Oct. 26, to receive the dial-in information.

    As the world’s largest airborne observatory, SOFIA is a modified 747 that flies high in the atmosphere to provide its nearly 9-foot telescope with a clear view of the universe and objects in our solar system. Flying above 99% of the atmosphere’s obscuring water vapor, SOFIA observes in infrared wavelengths and can pick up phenomenon impossible to see with visible light

    Yea that's the main guess right now.

    Pictures of aliens are a close second, so let's not lose hope. :oops:

    More confirmation of ice/water with easy access, or a move-in-ready lava tube would be my guess.

    Proof that the Moon is hollow and really an alien spaceship that ran out of fuel a Millenia ago. People are already there drilling thru the hull of the moon and will break inside on Oct 26th 12pm EDT on Live TV

    Why does NASA have these big media buildups for news that only nerds like @B-Bob will find interesting?

    They do need to bring in Michael Buffer and some ring babes to spice things up.

    NASA has all the rockets but can't even set off a firework?
