Who Parked Our Moon?

There is evidence to indicate the Moon may be hollow. Studies of Moon rocks indicate that the Moon’s interior differs from the Earth’s mantle in ways suggesting a very small, or even nonexistent, core. As far back as 1962, NASA scientist Dr. Gordon MacDonald stated, “If the astronomical data are reduced, it is found that the data require that the interior of the Moon be less dense than the outer parts. Indeed, it would seem that the Moon is more like a hollow than a homogeneous sphere.”

Apollo 14 astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell, while scoffing at the possibility of a hollow moon, nevertheless admitted that since heavier materials were on the surface, it is quite possible that giant caverns exist within the Moon. MIT’s Dr. Sean C. Solomon wrote, “The Lunar Orbiter experiments vastly improved our knowledge of the Moon’s gravitational field … indicating the frightening possibility that the Moon might be hollow.”

Why frightening? The significance was stated by astronomer Carl Sagan way back in his 1966 work Intelligent Life in the Universe, “A natural satellite cannot be a hollow object.”

The most startling evidence that the Moon could be hollow came on November 20, 1969, when the Apollo 12 crew, after returning to their command ship, sent the lunar module (LM) ascent stage crashing back onto the Moon creating an artificial moonquake. The LM struck the surface about 40 miles from the Apollo 12 landing site where ultra-sensitive seismic equipment recorded something both unexpected and astounding—the Moon reverberated like a bell for more than an hour. The vibration wave took almost eight minutes to reach a peak, and then decreased in intensity. At a news conference that day, one of the co-directors of the seismic experiment, Maurice Ewing, told reporters that scientists were at a loss to explain the ringing. “As for the meaning of it, I’d rather not make an interpretation right now. But it is as though someone had struck a bell, say, in the belfry of a church a single blow and found that the reverberation from it continued for 30 minutes.”

1. And this amazing info
Thu Dec 5, 2013, 05:16 PM
Dec 2013

In July 1970, two Russian scientists, Mikhail Vasin and Alexander Shcherbakov, published an article in the Soviet journal Sputnik entitled “Is the Moon the Creation of Alien Intelligence?” They advanced the theory that the Moon is not a completely natural world, but a planetoid that was hollowed out eons ago in the far reaches of space by intelligent beings possessing a technology far superior to ours. Huge machines were used to melt rock and form large cavities within the Moon, spewing the molten refuse onto the surface. Protected by a hull-like inner shell plus a reconstructed outer shell of metallic rocky junk, this gigantic craft was steered through the cosmos and finally parked in orbit around the Earth.

In their article Vasin and Shcherbakov wrote, “Abandoning the traditional paths of ‘common sense,’ we have plunged into what may at first sight seem to be unbridled and irresponsible fantasy. But the more minutely we go into all the information gathered by man about the Moon, the more we are convinced that there is not a single fact to rule out our supposition. Not only that, but many things so far considered to be lunar enigmas are explainable in the light of this new hypothesis.”

which means it must be artificial. Otherwise, there logically would be either more or fewer. It must therefore be a space station. QED.

The Hollow Moon theory is a hypothesis proposing that Earth's Moon is either wholly hollow
or otherwise contains a substantial interior space. No scientific evidence exists to support
the idea
; seismic observations and other data collected since spacecraft began to orbit or
land on the Moon support the theory that the planet has a thin crust, extensive mantle
and small, dense core, although overall it is much less dense than Earth.

Based on government data obtained through the supposed "Apollo" program, which was run by a Nazi!

You must be one of those folks who always trusts what the government tells you.

Do you hate pants or something?

Deep breath...obviously the longstanding and scinetifecly proven fact that the moon is made of cheese (probably a Gouda or a mild Colby mix) has some in the cheese industry scared *COUGH* *KRAFT* that if the moon does ever break up and come crashing down onto the earth...that cheese prices would plummet since everyone would now be covered in cheese and it would be worthless as a commodity at that point.

The Three Cheeses Guild has much to lose from the truth coming out. So does the KRAFT Empire!

Look it up!

No there isn't. The lack of an iron core does not mean there is a giant empty space at the moon's center instead. It just means the center is made of the same rocky material as the rest of the moon.

Thu Dec 5, 2013, 05:47 PM
Dec 2013

The theory that the moon is a dead, solid rock was disproved a number of years ago when modern seismological techniques were applied to data being returned from various sensors on the moon itself. These techniques revealed the internal structure of the moon, and a lot of people were surprised to find that it's a lot like Earths...right down to the iron core surrounded by liquid magma.

The "hollow moon" theory is a lot like the theory of ether. It made sense to some people at the time it was postulated because it fit the known facts of its time. Nowadays we know better.

25. The most reasonable explanation that comes to mind for me..
Thu Dec 5, 2013, 05:52 PM
Dec 2013

(right off the top of my head of course) ...is that after the impact that created the Moon, it was a huge spinning mass of liquid (lava). This spun most of the heavier materials out to what eventually became the crust. Then that outer level cooled first and solidified.

The interior would have cooled last. Since the volume of the rock would decrease as it cooled, and because the outer crust had already solidified, the inner most portion would have an area that could loosely be referred to as "hollow". At least it would be an area with far lower density than the outer layer.

It doesn't seem like that big a deal.

They don't want you to know this! Why do you think we stopped moon missions after Apollo?

There a f'ing bases there on the dark side left by the Ruskies, the Nazis, and the some interstellar aliens! If this got out, mankind couldn't handle it!

In all seriousness...my son works at NASA...I think he might have heard rumors.
