>nothing is on the moon

It's not exactly nothing, the moon itself with its mountains is there and blocking the radio signal and it means propagation isn't unlike that of VHF/UHF on Earth. You still only have no visibility beyond the horizon. In order for it to be visible and useful during landing you would need the base station to be reasonably close. I guess that would make it more akin to ILS/VOR/DME than GPS. That obviously wouldn't be feasible until we have a permanent base there (perhaps an unmanned one).




the moon is made of cheese everyone knows this
