Sounds like we need to send a probe or ten to the Moon. Who knows what’s down there? (Although the answer is going to be “some rocks” as far as most non-astronomers are concerned.)

Factor a couple billion years and you probably will have a decent amount. Now imagine there is some simple biology happening from the time the Moon had some atmosphere, in caves sealed billions of years ago.
- devrandomguy 9y agoThe missing back story to Apollo 18!
- clort 9y agosomebody already did image that.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lotus_Caves
- rbanffy 9y agoI wasn't thinking about complex lifeforms, as there isn't enough energy in those dark caves to power anything complicated, but some rock-eaters could have thrived there. It's remarkable the Moon has so many interesting stories waiting to be uncovered.
- shusson 9y agoI would love to know the rough cost to send a probe to the moon.
