I hope your Pyramid Resonator is up and running because something must be done. We took down the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) when mad scientists decided to play God. We made it rain during Australia's biggest drought.
Now we must interfere with this mission before they they wreak havoc on Earth and the Solar system.
Not only that, they are aiming for one of the poles of the Moon risking putting the Moon out of orbit or at the very least causing massive disruption in it's actions and functions down here on Earth.

They hope someday to build a base on the Moon. If water is already there they won't have to transport it. Water is VERY heavy so it would save a fortune if they could simply process water that may reside in the craters of the moon.
I have a hard time believing this - how do you think the astronauts drink water on the space shuttles?

I looked at the previous years predictions and they are ALL generalization that pretty much anyone could have predicted and the more specific ones did not come true.
I'm more interested in the fact the moon is moving away from earth and when that becomes a threat.

Average of 2.8 cm per year. In 100 years (extreme human lifespan) 280 cm. One METER is 100 cm. One KILOMETER is 1,000 meters.
One inch = 25.4 mm, or 2.54 cm. 280 cm = 110.24 inches, or 9 feet 2.24 inches.
One statute mile = 5280 feet. So, for the moon to move one mile (or 1.6 km) farther from the Earth will take 57,454 years.
Assuming that rate is constant, then 250,000,000 million years ago it is logical to assume the Moon was closer than it is now....but that works out to only about 4,350 miles.
However, the motion of the Moon away from the Earth is thought to not be constant....it used to be moving away faster, billions of years ago. It's rate of retreat is slowing.
Hope that puts your mind at ease.
