Eh..??? 
I don't know what to make of this? The moon ages us!?
Maybe we should be concentrating on building a bloody great big missile!? 
Seriously: Thoughts? I skimmed through the study and it seems well thought out and referenced.
Pineal Gland as an Endocrine Gravitational Lunasensor: Manifestation of Moon-Phase Dependent Morphological Changes in Mice
We found that some morphological properties of the pineal gland and submandibular salivary gland of mice are significantly distinct at the new and full moon. We suppose that the differences are initiated by the displacements of the electron-dense concretions in the secretory vesicles of pinealocytes. This presumably occurs under the influence of the gravitational field, which periodically changes during different phases of the moon. It seems that the pinealocyte is both an endocrine and gravisensory cell. A periodic secretion of the pineal gland probably stimulates, in a lunaphasic mode, the neuroendocrine system that, in turn, periodically exerts influence on different organs of the body. The observed effect probably serves, within the lifelong clock of a brain, to control development and aging in time.
It has been known for 400 years that the pineal gland contains so-called “brain sand”. It is composed of calcified inclusions. Our experimental observations reported here are consistent with the hypothesis that argues that these inclusions are used in the brain as a component of a special lifelong clock that is necessary to control the course of development and then aging in time. The pineal gland, as known, is involved in processes that morphologically resemble neurosecretion. Melatonin is the best-known hormone of this gland, although its cells, pinealocytes, also contain other factors that could be involved in regulation of the body...
