I have read some of these theories. I especially like the ones that specify moons with a large crater as being an "inflation nipple" or something similar.
I hate to say it, but if ANY moons were hollow to a significant amount (I am NOT going to say that there are not some hollow chambers/caves/cavities of some description in these bodies however, but no statistically significant fraction of a body) was indeed hollow, it would adversely affect the known observed densities (derived from orbital calculations) of these bodies.
These densities have already been calculated, and none of them are unjustifiably low.
Also, we are missing an internal support structure in the event that any siginifcant volume of such a body was missing. Therefore, these bodies would not be able to maintain thier structural integrity given the tidal forces imposed by orbiting a larger planet.

Has anyone debunked this yet?

haha, look at my post, the books are from 76 and 79, they sound on the spot to me, still largely ignored, question is: WHY?

Might I suggest that most folks checked them out and realized they were trash?

Is it not strange that the moon is always facing us?
Not to mention the fact that it perfectly blocks the sun during an eclipse? Perhaps this was intentional and used to influence and control prehistoric civilizations....

I think our moon is unique in the fact that the direction it rotates on its axis. It is the only moon in our solar system that rotates in that direction and for the speed at which it does it only shows one side as it revolves around the Earth. .

It is the only moon in our solar system that rotates in that direction and for the speed at which it does it only shows one side as it revolves around the Earth. That's plain weird. all the stuff that just by chance happened. If the Earth was smaller we would have less gravity if bigger we would have more. The sun comes up and goes down about the same time we get tired. Just the right amount of oxygen and nitrogen to breath and not ignite at the first spark.. If the Earth was bigger a maniac ruler could go unchecked longer, in other words we could still be fighting world war 2. if gravity did not adversely affect us.
