Moon May Be Geologically Active
dptalia writes, "For decades scientist have thought that the moon has been 'dead' for about 1 to 3 billion years. However, new research points to the idea that the moon may have been volcanically active as recently as 1 million years ago. In fact, NASA geophysicist Paul Lowman believes the moon's core is still molten."
... it doesn't get a GTD (Geologically Transmitted Disease)
Yeah yeah folks, we get it; Molten Core/WoW High ping blizzard servers based on moon etc/etc.
If it really is only 200-300 kilometers down, maybe it can provide geothermic-based electricity, then we don't need to deal with solar power on the moon.
Demented But Determined.
Excellent! I'll still take these nacho chips but I won't need the microwave to make dip. I tell you, space flight gets simpler each year.
What is the best area to dig? Is there a spot where the core is not too deep? Perhaps we can just make a small hole with a shovel and eat out of that, sort of like ice-fishing in the Sea of Tranquility. Only we're not fishing, just eating chips with bubbling hot, delicious all-natural cheese.
Small potatoes make the steak look bigger.
The remains of the lunar base of our long last ancestors who first colonized earth.
Turns out that the United States government has been building a secret bomb shelter on the dark side of the Moon. Considering the geological implications of Tuesday's election, the new lunar bomb shelter will become the last refuge for the Bush Administration if things get too unstable.
Just wait till it becomes fully operational.
I've been in the ocean, but I've never been on the moon.
