China's rover maps 1,000 feet of hidden 'structures' deep below the dark side of the moon::Scientists were able to visualize the upper 1,000 feet of the moon's surface for the first time. Their results reveal billions of years of previously hidden lunar history.

Is that how the always-has-been astronaut got his pistol?

I had to look it up to be sure, but it actually isn't!

"These new data suggest the top 130 feet of the lunar surface are made up of multiple layers of dust, soil, and broken rocks, Feng said. Hidden within these materials was a crater, formed when a large object slammed into the moon. Feng and his colleagues hypothesized that the rubble surrounding this formation was ejecta — debris from the impact. Farther down, the scientists discovered five distinct layers of lunar lava that seeped across the landscape billions of years ago."

Just in case anyone thought it was actually going to be some type of structure like caverns or something like I did.

Are we sure it's not the immortal Soviet sharks? Watch "Shark Side of the Moon" (please don't).

It’s where they’re hiding all of the Jewish Space Lasers /s

That's where the Selenites live. Doctor Cavor's radio broadcasts already discussed this. Duh.

Leave the fucking warp gate alone!

Evidence of an interstellar wizard alliance.

My best guess is that a structure like that will make it easier to access when we have people up there.
