Publish date May 2014 - still, glad to see it solves most (but not all) the issues with the known differences between the near and far sides. Another argument for a lunar base so we can safely get some samples to do more hands-on comparison

Only problem I see with this is if they are trying to stream multiple users from a single server/copy. For example, my app saves state (though you can choose to clear it to start over from scratch) so if you have been through part of a
