Former astronaut, Apollo moonwalker, geologist and former Senator Harrison Schmitt has a modest plan to solve the world’s energy problems. All we need is $15 billion over 15 years and some fusion reactors that have yet to be invented. And we’ll need a moon base.

Well, i have no idea what this is;
I've adjusted the perspective to get a better view, the shape becomes easier to look at:
As a logical guess, i would guess it "could be" a small piece of sellotape, simply by the fact that the edges of the rectangular object don't differ in brightness, if you look closely the shadow of the ditch the object appears to be in isn't affecting the outline shadow. Also that the center of the rectangle is transparent (you can see the purple tint to the right side of the area).
The triangular structure shape seems to dissapear when the perspective is changed, and looks more like a generic crater.
Also, on the left side of the sheet, there appears to be a piece of what i would assume to be sellotape also. It seems to have the same characteristics around the edges as the "thing" in the center of the paper also. Although i can't be sure if it's simply a box drawn with a pen.
I could be entirely wrong however, just a guess.

Wow, my thoughts about lunar bases are irrelevant to what im going to say, from a purely social observational perspective I would easily make an argument that the "true believer" phenotype belongs, surprisingly, to the debunkers, and not the ones proposing a moon base, or ufos, or chem trails, etc etc. Had to read enough comments on this site to finally come to that conclusion but it's staring me in the face. Most people on here engage in a well reasoned exchange of ideas, but then the zealot debunkers show up and circlejerk one another until everyone else gives up and leaves. Who'da thunk it.

Now I think I can figure a few things out of the writings next to it.
maybe someone who is good at this can triangulate with the information.
so:
Top rectangular box:
MR1 MR2
1.002 0.1158(something like that)
two lines below that:
13 616.24(with a line below 24)
Below is a rectangular box again:
1708 08210
besides the rect. box is an arrow pointing towards it, next to it is a word:
alive(or at least it's my closest guess(since clike and elike doesn't make sense)
sorry, but that's the best I can make out of it. hope it helps
p.s.: I am still working on it, if I have anything new, I'll edit it into this replyedit on 12/3/14 by Narcissous because: adding post scriptum

Why at that Location ? for what Reason just for Water Ice ?
I must be suffering another outbreak of Pareidolia.

Yes.
www.spaceflightnow.com...
Back in 2009 NASA’s Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) found water ice. After it crashed into the lunar surface at a predetermined spot, analysis of the probe’s plume estimated water content of about 200 pounds. The October 22nd issue of “Science” has revised the amount recorded upwards. A scientific paper claims the actual amount of water vapor and ice lies somewhere between 320 to 367 pounds. Scientists are elated. They estimate that as much as 5.6 of the lunar soil blown out from the impact of LCROSS is water ice. Previously speculation centered about a much lower figure. As little as 1 percent water was thought to be contained in lunar soil. That hypothesis was primarily based on the samples of moon soil returned for laboratory analysis by the Apollo astronauts. Yet, even a lunar soil that contained as little as 1 percent water ice would be sufficient to support the plans to construct lunar bases.
MYSTERY OF THE MISSING PLUMES: NASA scientists are grappling with a mystery. Where did the debris go? Last Friday morning, Oct. 9th, the water-seeking LCROSS spacecraft and its Centaur booster rocket crashed into the floor of crater Cabeus near the Moon's south pole, on time and on target. But the debris plumes that were supposed to issue from the impacts failed to materialize. Consider this image recorded 15 seconds after the Centaur impact by the Palomar Observatory's 200-inch Hale telescope:
Cabeus crater is located in the center, behind the large bright mountain. Plumes of shattered spacecraft and lunar soil should have emerged into sunlight from the shadows, but even Palomar's sensitive adaptive optics system registered nothing. The absence of debris plumes does not mean LCROSS was a failure.
Just like on Earth, water will be a crucial resource on the moon. Transporting water and other goods from Earth to the moon’s surface is expensive. Finding natural resources, such as water ice, on the moon could help expedite lunar exploration. The LCROSS mission will search for water, using information learned from the Clementine and Lunar Prospector missions. By going to the moon for extended periods of time, a new generation of explorers will learn how to work safely in a harsh environment. A lunar outpost is a stepping stone to future exploration of other bodies in our solar system. The moon also offers many clues about when the planets were formed.
Buzz Aldrin has Been Defiantly Saying it
Former Astronaut Harrison Schmitt Has been Saying it
They Knew Beforehand ! the Bomb wasn't Necessary...
Not a Explanation as to Why that Particular Spot
You Don't Know the Answer ! I Defiantly Dont !! It was Planned by them (NASA) !!
A: We were very conservative in the press release, but if you take basically 100 square kilometers by roughly 50 feet deep, you get a volume of something like a quarter of a cubic mile, I think it's on that order. It's a considerable amount, but it's not a huge glacier or anything like that.
Q: Can you compare that with something you know?
A: It's a lake. A small lake.

It wasn't a bomb. It an empty upper stage. A bomb would have contaminated the results unnecessarily.

No.
Just a case of overzooming.
Overzooming an image is never a good idea.
Here's what a straight pixel resize shows, a lot of jpg artifacting.
Over zoom those artifacts with a typical zooming algorithm and you end up with garbage.

As if photoshop and a bunch of denoise plugins for removing bad pixels and artifacts, hadn't been invented yet.
