"Let's dig a tunnel to the centre of the moon!"
"You can't dig a tunnel to the centre of the moon, Blode!"
"Yes I can! It will be a special tunnel, and it will go to the centre of the moon!"
Anyone else remember that?
- cyberferret 9y agoI don't recall that quip, but I do recall an episode of "Space 1999" decades ago titled "The Catacombs of the Moon" where they discover a vast underground cave system, (which turns out to be the hibernation place for a civilisation of aliens, IIRC)... The episode always had me intrigued as to whether the moon actually could have a large cave system that could be hermetically sealed and inhabited by humans to save on shipping tons of building materials out there.

- Nition 9y agoThe Internet in its infinite wisdom tells me this is from "Tales of the Blode Episode 2: A Trip to the Seaside."
