Abstract
Exploring the Bombardment History of the Moon
Highlights
The National Research Council's 2007 Space Studies Board report, "The Scientific Context for the Exploration of the Moon" made it their top science goal
We focus our discussion on the key science goals coming from this concept
The key is to understand lunar bombardment, the highest-priority lunar science goal as determined by the authoritative committees referenced in the Introduction
Summary
The National Research Council's 2007 Space Studies Board report, "The Scientific Context for the Exploration of the Moon" made it their top science goal. The problem is that lunar chronology is (i) based on limited data for < 3.2 Ga and > 3.9 Ga terrains and (ii) is applied to ancient surfaces on other worlds using questionable assumptions (e.g., the unknown impact flux on Mars and Moon > 3.9 Ga).
