rodheadlee Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) Yes, I have been watching Ancient Alien Astronauts. Funny thing is we had a discussion Christmas Day about the moon ringing like a bell when it was struck by Apollo Lander power units. It was intentionally struck twice and we had placed seismic sensors on the moon. The second strike what is equivalent to 11 tons of TNT and the moon rang like a bell for 3 hours. There is also an ancient Zulu Legend that the moon was towed into place. Do y'all have anything to add to this that's cool? Edited December 27, 2021 by rodheadlee Link to comment

Stargazer Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Von Däniken was such a great kidder. I'm reasonably certain that the Moon is just as hollow as the earth. And aside from actual moonquakes, plenty of small meteorites strike the moon every day, so it's going to ring like a bell every day. Link to comment
strappinglad Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 If the moon is hollow, is that a one off or are the moons in the solar system also hollow ? Link to comment

Robert F. Smith Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) Quote 4–3.5 billion years ago, the Moon could have had sufficient atmosphere and liquid water on its surface. Warm and pressurized regions in the Moon's interior might still contain liquid water. The presence of large quantities of water on the Moon would be an important factor in rendering lunar habitation cost-effective since transporting water (or hydrogen and oxygen) from Earth would be prohibitively expensive. If future investigations find the quantities to be particularly large, water ice could be mined to provide liquid water for drinking and plant propagation, and the water could also be split into hydrogen and oxygen by solar panel-equipped electric power stations or a nuclear generator, providing breathable oxygen as well as the components of rocket fuel. The hydrogen component of the water ice could also be used to draw out the oxides in the lunar soil and harvest even more oxygen. Analysis of lunar ice would also provide scientific information about the impact history of the Moon and the abundance of comets and asteroids in the early Inner Solar System. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_water Edited December 28, 2021 by Robert F.

No. Domes. The pictures they were showing, the craters appeared to be domed. A gradual dome, like the surface beneath was curved. Link to comment
Derl Sanderson Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 The moon is solid. All conversant Church members know that it's the earth that is hollow. It's in that space where the Lost Ten Tribes are to be found. Aren't you reading ahead in the Old Testament Come Follow Me materials?? Link to comment

A gradual dome, like the surface beneath was curved. I think that's just a special case of central peak. This happens in terrestrial vulcanism. The collapse of a volcanic peak (due to evacuation of the magma chamber) is frequently followed by uplift due to partial chamber refilling. Naturally, this resembles a dome. If you examine the remnant of the Mount St. Helens volcano after its 1980 eruption, there arose a subsequent lava dome. For meteor or asteroid strikes, a similar process occurs. 2 Link to comment
Derl Sanderson Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Takes longer to get to the punch line than your standard Norm MacDonald joke (and not nearly as funny). 1 Link to comment
strappinglad Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I recall read E R Burroughs Tarzan book " At the Earth's Core " as a young teen and being fascinated by the idea. Oh, the innocence of youth ! 1 Link to comment

Yes it does, and no, it isn't! I agree with you entirely. It's actually me! It was a joke I heard a really long time ago, and I'm pretty sure it was shorter when I heard it, but being the long-winded sort, I just couldn't make it any shorter on such short notice. Especially since I was just winging the narration off the cuff rather than a script. I make better videos on my regular channel, or so I believe, anyway. I posted this video to a YouTube channel I've not used for uploads to this point, but the topic here on MDDB reminded me of the joke, and I couldn't hold back. The channel avatar, by the way, is a photo of my Dad, who was much handsomer than I am. Edited December 29, 2021 by Stargazer Link to comment

poptart Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 (edited) It's interesting what different cultures have to say about the moon, Kaguya Hime (wood cutter story) is probably my favorite. I think Sailor Moon was partially inspired by it. Tossing this out there, when it comes to the celestial bodies I've noticed most of the E.Asia ones have some kind of Chinese court influence, even when they get ported to other E.Asian countries. I'm kinda curious what the natives and Polynesians have lore wise, I really should know some of the latter, shame on me. Edited December 29, 2021 by poptart Link to comment
