According to theory it is impossible. They are doing this for fun.

What kind of a superfluid with properties of a solid does not conduct
sound waves ?

Assuming you are correct then that would imply sound waves do not
propagate through a superfluid with properties of a solid which does
not itself consist of particles of matter.

The aether is, or behaves similar to, a supersolid.

Perhaps the additional amount of aether around our practically naked
moon should prove quite interesting. Too bad we still do not have any
viable fly-by-rocket landers, or even any way of utilizing the Earth-
moon L1 for its nearly ISM vacuum offering just whatever little is
passing through from the stellar wind and darn little else.
