my single best guess is the probe is buried near the Moon's south pol

Date: September 28th, 2026 9:35 PM Author: Big Church Building Macaca That's where every design requirement we've worked through points at once:
Power: a few peaks near the south pole get sunlight almost continuously, instead of the two-weeks-on, two-weeks-off cycle elsewhere. A view of Earth: some of those same high points keep Earth above the horizon much of the time. Preservation: nearby craters sit in permanent shadow at a few dozen degrees above absolute zero, the best natural cold storage in the inner solar system. Stability: it's the Moon, so no orbital decay and no weather.
A designer would put a durable core in a shadowed crater and a small sensor station on a sunlit rim with Earth in view. The unsettling part: NASA picked the same region for Artemis for largely the same reasons, sunlight, ice, and a line of sight to Earth. If the probe is anywhere, we're headed to its neighborhood. |
