					<description><![CDATA[There are safer places to land than others.  Larger landing ellipses or more than one alternate nearby landing sites.  We are limited based on existing imagery.  Better to land in light than in the dark.  

Thinking a little more about it, the claim they make the little boulders they point out are from the original Shackleton Crater formation seems a dubious idea.  More likely they came from some other subsequent impact.

While we can&#039;t claim real estate, it will be a problem if someone lands there before us.  They could claim the area around their lander or rover or tracks as historically significant, like we did for Apollo sites.  

But claiming that a site is the &quot;most valuable&quot; is a little hard to do.  The best way to see if ice is in a crater is to go there (put a lander/rover there for in situ data sampling), not use remote instruments from a crater rim.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Is there truly any safe places to land on the moon? Any claim made to real estate cannot be done from earth, we have to go there to plant your own flag. (then defend it) 
   The danger just makes it more exciting, especially if mistakes are made and a workaround is performed to overcome unknown variables.  This makes it inspirational, legendary… And Mr. Zimmerman will be the first to write about it. Humans are so resilient.

  We own the moon? Ha Ha
 Claims of &quot;owning something&quot; have to be backed up by force and legal documentation. 
    The world is currently in flux, the biggest bully will claim to own everything. 
    If ruthless enough, with the fire power and the right alliances to back their claims... They will prove that &quot;might makes right&quot; and everyone else will bow to them. 
    Like all empires, it won&#039;t last long unless it&#039;s built upon individual trust and responsibility like the constitutional american experiment. (which currently does not exist)
    We&#039;ve tipped over into a technological dark age were billionaire corporations and their public/private Nazi empires are fighting for dominance. 

    Elon musk is a wild card and has yet to choose sides as entire countries are maneuvering for their correct posture. (those given a choice anyway)  This gives me hope. 

    Millions of pictures of the moon into a movie.

					<description><![CDATA[As to being a flat spot, it looks relatively flat.  But they do not tell us the resolution of the image.  So, it is likely 1 meter/pixel.  This means you cannot see &#060;1m diameter objects.  Likely even 1m are hard to see.  Usually you need .5m/pixel to see 1m objects.  Might be an issue for landing.

Also, the landing ellipse seems small.  Do you even want to land that close to boulders? In fact, do you really want to land that close to a vast PSR?  These are certainly robotic landers with automatic systems.

As to a direct line of site of the crater from that vantage, its not so easy unless you have a high lander.  Maybe you can see the opposite floor of the crater.  Certainly not the entire floor.

I think for the first landings, they will want to land not on the Shackleton Crater rim.]]></description>
