PIONEER PROFILE
Dr. Pecorino “Peri” Regolith, Ph.D.
Key Data
- **Primary Field:** Lunar Geodairy Science (LGS)
- **Title:** Lead Geologist & Chief Casein Consultant (Retired, 1995)
- **Major Achievement:** First to confirm extractable **casein deposits** in lunar regolith (1980).
- **Signature Contribution:** Author of the **”Curd-Stability Index (CSI)”** for space transport.
The Classified Discovery: Apollo 18
Prior to the official initiation of Project Apollo Curd, Dr. Regolith served as the lead geologist on a highly classified lunar mission known only as **Apollo 18**. During a routine EVA, while collecting regolith samples, Dr. Regolith made an astounding, unprecedented discovery: a large, naturally formed crystalline structure exhibiting properties identical to aged, highly concentrated casein.
The implications were so profound, and the public reaction to “moon cheese” was deemed so destabilizing, that all records of Apollo 18 were immediately classified and eventually stricken from official archives. Dr. Regolith’s findings, however, secretly launched the era of lunar dairy extraction.

The Father of Lunar Dairy Geology
Dr. Pecorino Regolith is arguably the most critical figure in the Lunar Cheese Authority’s history. Working quietly out of a classified laboratory in the late 1970s, it was his pioneering research that led to the crucial 1980 breakthrough: the discovery that **naturally occurring, refined casein** could be efficiently separated from pulverized lunar rock.
His findings, published under the classified **”Project Apollo Curd”** report, immediately shifted the world’s space strategy, pivoting from resource mining to **lunar dairy extraction**. Without Dr. Regolith’s validation of the regolith-to-casein conversion process, the construction of the Mass Driver ‘Gouda Cannon’ (operational in 1984) would never have been authorized.
“We weren’t just looking at rocks; we were looking at the potential to feed and stabilize the off-world economy. We found the milky way, and it was right under our boots.” — Dr. Regolith, 2005 Retirement Speech.
