So, they found water on the moon, but they also found a lot of Mercury. I don’t want to go any place with a lot of Mercury. The stuff is totally toxic. There’s no word on whether they found any Venus. The science and coordination behind these discoveries are pretty amazing.

I used to break open thermometers and play with the mercury. And I’m still in perfect health. 🙂
PS- there is a big banana in my left margin.
Banana syndrome is a verified side effect of mercury poisoning.
Yeah, maybe she’s hallucinating.
Would not be the first time I conjured up a big banana.
.. and Whitey is on the Moon..
The melting point of mercury is -38.87 F under standard atmospheric pressure. Some physics whiz can easily calculate what that might be under the gas pressure and temperature of the landing site on the moon.
It could very well experience a phase change between solid and liquid during the moon’s rotation.
