Four billion years ago, the Moon orbited at 15,000 km—closer than our satellites today. It created kilometer-high tides twice every 10-hour day. In those violent tidal pools, wet-dry cycling concentrated organic molecules thousands of times, building the first RNA, the first protocells, the first life. We can prove this: rocks from 620 million years ago record 21-hour days. Laser measurements show the Moon recedes at exactly 3.8 cm/year. On January 15, 2027, NASA’s Lunar Geophysical Network activates, revealing the Moon’s precise age—and with it, exactly how long abiogenesis took. That number tells us whether life is common in the universe or vanishingly rare. This is the story of how a cosmic collision created partnership, how tides became chemistry, how the Moon made you.
