“I’m terribly puzzled by the rocks from the Moon and in particular of their titanium content.” - Dr Harold Urey, Nobel Prize for Chemistry Dr S Ross Taylor, Geochemist of lunar chemical analysis, Said the problem was that maria plains the size of Texas had to be covered with melted rock containing fluid titanium. He said you would not expect titanium ever to be hot enough to do that, even on Earth, and no one has ever suggested that the Moon was hotter than the Earth: “What could distribute titanium in this way? Highly advanced technology developed and operated by entities that are immensely more technologically advanced than humans.” “It seems much easier to explain the nonexistence of the moon than its existence.” - Dr. Robin Brett, NASA Scientist “We cannot help but come to the conclusion that the Moon by rights ought not to be there. The fact that it is, is one of the strokes of luck almost too good to accept… Small planets, such as Earth, with weak gravitational fields, might well lack satellites… In general then, when a planet does have satellites, those satellites are much smaller than the planet itself. “Therefore, even if the Earth has a satellite, there would be every reason to suspect… that at best it would be a tiny world, perhaps 30 miles in diameter. But that is not so. Earth not only has a satellite, but it is a giant satellite, 2160 miles in diameter. How is it then, that tiny Earth has one? Amazing.” “The Moon, which has no atmosphere and no magnetic field, is basically a freak of nature” - Isaac Asimov, American author, professor and one of the most prolific writers of all time. “it would seem that the Moon is more like a hollow than a homogenous sphere’. He surmised that the data must have been wrong—but it wasn’t.” - Dr. Gordon MacDonald, NASA “A natural satellite cannot be a hollow object.” - Carl Sagan, Cosmologist, “The Lunar Orbiter experiments had vastly improved knowledge of the Moon’s gravitational field and indicated the frightening possibility that the Moon might be hollow.” - Dr. Sean C Solomon, Massachusetts Institute of Technology thanks for this excellent reminder Alan Hoffman :-)
