No, I haven't gone crazy.
I was reading some really interesting stuff in the Daily Mail today about the moon. It was an extract from a book called "Who Built the Moon?", which will be on sale next week.
I did some googling and came up with a couple of interesting websites.
Link #1 - The stuff about the Luna missions is especially interesting.
Link #2
Notable quotes;
"Yes, a NASA scientist said the acoustic characteristics were that of a hollow Titanium sphere 60 miles below the surface. In addition, the scientists saw EXACTLY the same seismic traces each time a meteorite would hit, as if it were vibrating some fixed bodies inside the moon." - Not sure how plausible this one is, but if it is factual, then it is extremely creepy.
"...the Moon is placed in orbit at exactly the distance from the Earth so that it covers the Sun during a solar eclipse. Isaac Asimov in one of his books commented on the improbability of this occurring by chance." - I have always wondered about this one. It seems incredibly strange that the Earth, Sun and Moon are all placed in perfect positions to make the moon and sun appear the same size in the sky and create eclipses. The odds of it being that way by chance have got to be trillions to one. Very peculiar.
"Yet another unnamed writer reported that the astronauts found the surface of the Moon so hard, just under the loose dust layer, that they could not drill into it. "When the discarded descent stages of the spacecrafts crashed on the Moon, NASA noted that the moon rang like a gong or bell for up to four hours after impact."" - Creepy, no? Again, not sure how plausible it is.
"NASA scientists themselves have said that the hollow moon model fits the facts."
The basic idea is that the moon has been manufactured by someone or something. It has been hollowed out in the middle so that it is the perfect mass to maintain a locked orbit around the Earth and at the same time control seasons, tides etc. We need the moon to live, without it we would have no seasons and the Earth's climate would be dramatically altered to the point where it would no longer be inhabitable, so there's your motive.
This is probably the craziest thing that I've ever even considered buying into, and I wouldn't be giving this insane idea any credit at all if it wasn't for the apparent fact that NASA scientists themselves have commented on it and there are books being written about it.
Anyway, in a universe where we don't even know how we came to exist, I'm willing to keep an open mind about anything.
(I'm not crazy, honest.)
And if none of that interests you, here's a cool picture of one of saturns moons. "Death Star".
