Lava tubes on the moon
« on: November 29, 2024, 02:24:52 PM »

So there are long and large lava tubes under the moon face, tunnels. In some places they are punctured from the surface down by a collapse. Perhaps they could have the top hole sealed and also the ends sealed to create a sheltered living space. If the Chijnese get to the  moon they may explore one of these.

This Moon Discovery Is the Most Important in Decades

What's beneath the Moon's surface, waiting to be uncovered? Could the strange, newly discovered holes on the Moon be more than just natural formations? Why has China, with its ambitious space program, set its sights on exploring these eerie pits? Are these ancient tunnels merely remnants of volcanic activity, or do they hold something vital for the future of lunar exploration? And could these dark voids be the key to establishing a permanent human presence on the Moon?
