The Moon’s Rugged, Intriguing South Pole

You look at pictures of the South Pole, it’s not like what you saw where Neil [A. Armstrong] and [Edwin] Buzz [Aldrin] were landing, constantly lit from the sun. A few craters here and there. The South Pole of the moon is pockmarked with deep craters and because of the angle of the sun coming in, most of those craters are in total darkness the entire time,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, speaking at a recent NASA press conference. “It lessens the amount of area that you can actually land on and utilize.”#space #nasa
