The 50,000 year old man
Since the story finally leaked to the public, I can tell what the big mystery was all about. UNSA needed the T-scope to look at the extremely fragile body and possessions of a man that had been found on the lunar surface. The first thought was that someone had lost a astronaut and not reported it. So my suspicion about a murder started to look promising. However, our original assumptions were turned for a loop when carbon dating showed that the body was approximately 50,000 years old. If it was a murder, then the murderer will never be found. For now there's plenty of other mysteries to keep a rather large team of scientists busy for the next few years. For instances, who developed space travel to the moon 50,000 years ago? Also, many of Charlie's (that's our nickname for him) tools, although familiar, have subtle differences from similar common tools. As more details are released and as I have time, I'll try to post some of the more interesting findings.
