IS there a Secret Space Station on the Moon!?

[source Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow_Moon)

We’ve all heard the controversy around America’s moon landing in 1969. Most people are well aware of the at least a few of the conspiracies revolving around (pun intended) our Moon. Personally, I’m on the fence with whether or not I think the original moon landing was faked - I have seen compelling evidence for both sides. This leaves the door open for all the theories to come and go. Through my open door policy I’ve bumped into an array of moon related conspiracies. I chose to write about this one because if it was true.. It’d be pretty freakin’ cool! It’s out there, loony and has a true dark side (haha, okay, no more moon jokes).

Is the Moon some kind of hollowed out Space Station?!

Yes, you read that right - it could be totally hollow.

The Moon itself has been up for scientific debate for a very long time. We all know it’s there, we see it shining at night, we know it impacts the ocean’s tides and can even eclipse our sun but that’s pretty much all we know for sure..

Since I was apparently lied to about the moon being made of cheese and that giant space mice chewed out a man’s face on its surface to watch over all of humanity’s well being - I guess I need to start at the beginning.

But where did the Moon come from?

Like all great conspiracy ripe topics there must be a controversial starting point to get the ball rolling. With the Moon there are four major theories about how the Moon came to orbit Earth. That’s a huge number of variables in the world of conspiracies! We can spin 100 tales from one event - let alone four.

Science.How Stuff works listed these main categories:

1. FISSION - It's a broken piece of Earth. During the early, rapidly spinning days of the solar nebula, the moon might have broken away from the Earth. Scientists question this theory because the Earth probably wasn't rotating fast enough to spin off a whole moon.

2. ACCRETION - It's the Earth's baby brother. As the Earth was forming through accretion, the moon might have formed the same way, right next door. Scientists doubt this one because the moon doesn't have the same physical composition as the Earth.

3. CAPTURE - It followed the Earth home, and the Earth kept it. The moon may have come from somewhere else in the universe and gotten caught in the Earth's gravity. It's relatively unlikely, though, that something the size of the moon could have passed by the Earth in just the right way to end up orbiting the planet rather than crashing into it.

4. GIANT IMPACT THEORY - It came from a fiery crash. The most popular scientific theory for the origin of the moon is that two large planetesimals, or planets-in-progress, collided in the solar nebula. The smaller object was about the size of Mars. The smaller planetesimal ended up in orbit around the larger. Neither object was really solid yet, so the iron core of the smaller got pulled back to Earth because of gravity. This explains the differences in composition between it and the Earth.

#4 is the most popular? Hmm.. I see the perfect soil to plant a conspiracy seed.

Now let’s look at these well known and scientifically measured anomalies about our Moon courtesy of the University of Oxford’s website:

The Moon is unusual compared with other moons in our Solar System -
-It is the largest moon relative to the size of its host planet,
-It’s gradually moving away from Earth, and its orbit is tied to Earth's rotation with most of the angular momentum in the Moon’s motion.
-It also has a lower uncompressed density than that of Earth implying a smaller iron core.

Even more strange evidence came to light after the moon landing in the 60’s and 70’s. Without going into crazy details because boy I fell down a rabbit hole looking into this but I’ll sum it up by saying the more they studied the rocks from the moon and also attempted to make simulations of how this 2 impact theory would work to create the moon as we know it - the more issues they than ran into - no theories have worked out as expected.

EX: - The moon is much older than we hypothesized, has a different chemical composition than expected, there’s evidence of water vapor, magnetic conductivity, and all sorts of other weird differences.

The Theories

• I found this article from the Sunday Post in which David Icke talks about the Hollow Moon and how the moon rung like a bell when Apollo 12 purposely crashed its lunar module into it - along with quite a few other interesting points.

• This article from Humans are Free was very helpful in learning more about ancient theories behind the origins of the Moon and how the Hollow Moon/Spaceship Moon theory.

African Zulu legends tell of an extra-terrestrial race called the Chitauri who hollowed out a moon and brought it to Earth to use as a hub to oversee the control of the human race. This legend fits well into the theory of the reptilian-human hybrids which are thought to run our world today.

• And what about this episode from Ancient Aliens:
  

• I found this YouTube video with 1.1M views and 16K likes so clearly some people really believe this.

So is the Moon a secret spaceship?

Who knows! We probably never will - but what I will say is clearly we need more information.

It's questionable to me why we do not have answers to this. It's so close to us - why would we go up there a few times, take some rocks back conclude that all the theories are questionable and have many holes and we're like, screw it we don't need to go back - it's not important. Might be hollow - full of aliens watching us like the Truman Show - but that's okay we should fund wars instead of space programs!

There must be something They know that We don't - why else would we just completely stop going to the Moon? People say because it's just a rock - there's nothing there but after reading all the scientific anomalies it's clear THAT'S not the case.

In conclusion, I have no idea if the moon is a space station for humans or aliens, if it's hollow or solid.. In fact now I'm more confused!
