"Could it be that the Moon is actually a gigantic spaceship?"
Uttered just now on the "History" Channel, on a show called "Ancient Aliens". Two hour special presentation.

The punch line? Onscreen whilst the above was spoken was..... wait for it.......

The death star.

:rofl:

2. It was so funny I had to watch the rebroadcast later on... I WAS WRONG!
He didn't frame it as a question, but rather something like "the evidence PROVES, the Moon could be..."

:cry:

it makes me sad

:rofl:

3. Interesting question. The answer is pretty complex, but I will try to explain it.
Edited on Fri Nov-05-10 08:39 AM by Deep13

4. "Could it be that the moon is actually a gigantic ball of rocks?"
Sure, but there is nothing superficially exciting about that, so we're going with "spaceship."

It's a canteloupe filled with pudding.

7. Yay! History Channel denizens weigh in
Ancient Aliens: Death Star = Moon

Immortalundercover527:
The moon
With out the moon man will be swallowed in a tidal wave 2 to 3 thousand feet.
as u can see each planet in the solar system has a moon,weather its 1 or 2 and even up to 5 moons,some things are perfect and some things are luck,and then u have some things that are just to pefect..

first question u have to ask your self is ..
IS this the first planet or the last and then u have to ask your self does a moon come with eaach planet and if so then it is

foxmulder:
im not sure what show your exactly talking about but yes i have seen a show that was all about the moon, they never mentioned it was hollow though. But yeah im aware of many of the things it does, tides and such, although my knowledge on the subject is limited. im more along the lines of the yin and yang idea, i find it so crazy that not only do we need the sun(day) but we need the moon (night) and the dual and binary forces just leaves me in awe. Plus, what about all the weird stuff about the moon, like crime rates are increased, when the full moon is out, creepy to me.

Immortalundercover527:
YES ,very creepy it is being though the aliens killed keenedy for man going to the moon.

I wasn't aware that Venus or Mercury have moons, perfect or otherwise.

14. "...the dual and binary forces just leaves me in awe..."
That poster sure has a low threshold for awe.

YES ,very creepy it is being though the aliens killed keenedy for man going to the moon.

But..but...we went to the moon 6 years AFTER Kennedy was killed. That commenter is obviously a post-modernist, deconstructing the boring old Euro-caucasian-centrist concept of "time."

I recently saw an interesting History Channel experiment in comparative religion. It was on that great historical show, Ice Road Truckers. :eyes:

The I.R.T. gang went to India to drive an extremely dangerous road in the Himalayas.

Trucker Alex is one of those show-off Xians who always gets himself filmed while praying before a job, etc. etc. As he did on the India trip.

Apparently, the writ of Jesus doesn't run in India. Maybe it's the welter of competing gods. Anyway, Alex barely made it out of Delhi, where he managed to have 2 wrecks in fairly quick sequence. He gave up, went back to the airport and went home. He didn't let us know what Jesus thought about that.

Trucker Lisa and the awesomely profane Trucker Rick made it out of Delhi, then got their trucks blessed (!) by Indian holy men in a small town. They made it the rest of the way - though both of them temporarily quit at least once.

15. Lucky Alex
Jesus doesn't strike me as one to tolerate quitters. So, now Alex has a terrific explanation for why Jesus never answers his calls.

8. Of course it could be
It could also be that it doesn't really exist. Mass delusion causes us to think we see it and a mass conspiracy of thousands of years duration and involving governments and scientists mariners all over the world supports the delusion.

But probably not.

9. Oops, Occam's Razor just slipped and accidentally nicked an artery
Honestly, the History Channel is a joke. Tru TV is the "One And True And Only" reality TV network.

10. That's no moon....
If it's a spaceship, it's sure not doing a very good job. It's going around in circles, and not very fast, for 4.5 billion years.

11. They're still trying to get the front door open
It got stuck just after the warranty expired.

Plus the manufacturer won't take their calls.

That's the last time they'll go with the lowest bidder.

18. of course - those pictures of the far side were all faked
The parabolic reflector for the energy weapon takes up most of the far side. I though everyone knew that.

The prototype is in orbit round Saturn:

21. In answer to your question: yes.
But that's really just a semantic game; my pet peeve is absolutes and yes/no questions.

So, yes, it is possible that the moon is the mothership of an invading colony of hyperintelligent Satan-worshipping cybernetic chihuahuas, but it ain't very likely. Oh, History Chanel! How far the mighty have fallen!
