"The Moon's Shrinking: Implications for NASA Missions"

TL;DR Summary
Research shows that the moon is shrinking, with the south polar region experiencing the effects of this phenomenon, potentially impacting lunar missions. Moonquakes and faults in this area could pose challenges for future manned missions, despite the potential for frozen water in the craters that could aid future missions. While the shrinking moon may not have an immediate impact on Earth, it could affect long-term plans for human presence on the moon, although the slow pace of the shrinkage means it is unlikely to be noticeable in our lifetime.
