As for the tracks that we are seeing on the moon, I am attempting to find pictures that have shown what moonquakes would create, compared to actually tracks created. It appears that moonquakes last much longer than our earthquakes do. Also this may give us an idea of what type of materials would be required to build a base that would withstand seismic activity. If we know what materials cannot be used, we will be able to hone our searchs in a little better.
There are at least four different kinds of moonquakes: (1) deep moonquakes about 700 km below the surface, probably caused by tides; (2) vibrations from the impact of meteorites; (3) thermal quakes caused by the expansion of the frigid crust when first illuminated by the morning sun after two weeks of deep-freeze lunar night; and (4) shallow moonquakes only 20 or 30 kilometers below the surface. Moonquakes
"Any habitat would have to be built of materials that are somewhat flexible," so no air-leaking cracks would develop. "We'd also need to know the fatigue threshold of building materials," that is, how much repeated bending and shaking they could withstand.

Also Anx, how do u capture those images like that on NasaWldwnd?

The moon has its more controversial mysteries, too. Some think extraterrestrials have or once had bases there. Some think there's stuff on the moon -- other than the hardware, flags, and debris left there by the Apollo astronauts - that the government knows about, but is not telling us. Decades - even centuries - before we sent ships to the moon, observers with telescopes have claimed to see signs of intelligent life or design there. Indeed, there are many enigmatic photos that seem to show shapes and structures on the lunar surface that don't fit conventional explanations. Perhaps there are reasonable answers for them, but those answers are not easy to find.
Possibly the strongest evidence for it to be a 'hollow object' comes from the fact that when meteors strike the Moon, the latter rings like a bell. More specifically when the Apollo crew in November 20, 1969 released the lunar module, after returning to the orbiter, the module impact with the Moon caused their seismic equipment to register a continuous reverberation like a bell for more than an hour. The same effect occurred with Apollo 13's third stage which caused the Moon to ring for over three hours. So what's going on with the Moon?
The moon is the Rosetta stone of the planets." —Robert Jastrow,

After hundreds of years of detailed observation and study, our closest companion in the vast universe, Earth’s moon, remains an enigma. Six moon landings and hundreds of experiments have resulted in more questions being asked than answered. Among them:

Can anyone tell me how to use "Photobucket"?
Here is a picture that I found with some very remarkable details. You can clearly see that it is a facitility of some sort. This picture was supposed to be smugged by NASA, but apparently they forgot one!!!HeHeHe!!!!!!

Let me know what you guy's think..

Let me know what you guy's think..
During Apollo 8's orbit around the moon the astronauts took several pictures of the area animated below.
Below is a rare animated representation of what the Astronauts actually saw and how they saw it.Upon futher examination perhaps we can see why they were interested in this area.
When we look close at one of the frames used in the animation above we see an anomoly
The crater to the center and left with the object sitting up straight with a grid-like face is what's of interest.
Some have said the center object is a result of a central peak.. and a central depression.
Closeups and zooms below.
Above you can clearly see a raised structure with a grid-like face.
Almost like what you could see in a sci-fi movie where aircraft enter in and out of each dark entrance.
This same type of grid is seen on the asteroid Eros, which I discuss in further detail on the Eros Page
The left image is extremely zoomed in and the right image is the same image inverted
Magelhaens Crater - Continued..
Think it's just a trick of light and shadow?
Well, the following images were all taken from multiple orbiting satellites under different lighting conditions. They are from very large .TIFF image files, zoomed into the Magelhaens crater to illustrate that there is an uplifted structure of some kind there.
Now, obviously under certain lighting conditions the structure is more clearly shown. Even with the sunlight directly over-head you can see something in the center of said crater
South Of The Kunowski Crater (Updated)
The Above Image: Is one of three frames shot of an area south of the Kunowski crater. Below I provide each Hasslebad image and then final mosaic which matches each image together.
Full Size Images: Left Mosiac / Middle Mosaic / Right Mosaic / Full Sized Mosaic (Very Large)
Same thing as above, different area.
The only problem is (as usual) once you zoom in we lose so much image quality it becomes difficult to pin anything down.
Above in the right of image is an uplifted area (Mound) with either an oval or circular like whole or cave on the side facing the astronauts. Not to mention the round oval shaped mound in the center which looks strange.
The area is photographed twice, second image is below.
Now we can see the cave-like feature more pronounced. It's clearly there, question is -
is it natural?
South Of The Kunowski Crater - The Pyramid?
The Above Image: Is one of three frames shot of an area south of the Kunowski crater. Below I provide each Hasslebad image and then final mosaic which matches each image together.
Full Size Images: Left Mosiac / Middle Mosaic / Right Mosaic / Full Sized Mosaic (Very Large)
This is an extremely small area of the large mosaic above.
The bottom-right of the photo this anomoly can be found.
Below is a blowup of the feature.
And.. We have a pyramid-like structure on the moon.

super questionable images from the Moon.
This is on our nearest neighbor, whom we've visited!
Most of these pictures were taken by the Apollo astronauts
as they orbited. I think before long they're all going to come out with the truth
of what they saw, and why we haven't been back.
However, there are debates and discussions on which one is better, and some people are taking sides, e.g., for establishing a base or embarking on a first mission to retrieve material. It may be premature to take sides at this time, especially as there are continuing discoveries such as ice at a lunar pole and newly found Earth approaching asteroids which are cheaper to get to.
Over time, of course, economic expansion makes projects like a Moon Base more affordable and, sooner or later, we will be able to undertake a lunar program without having to spend an Apollo-like fraction of the nation's wealth. During the past century and more, the American GDP has doubled in real terms about once every twenty-five years and there is every reason to believe that growth will continue for a long time to come. Economic expansion comes largely as a result of gains in productivity and, certainly, the limits to our creative use of new machines, new processes, and new resources are nowhere in sight. As the wealth of the nation grows and, indeed, as other nations acquire spaceflight capabilities, the total level of space activities will expand - albeit with ups and downs superimposed on the overall trend - to the point that construction of a permanent lunar base will become feasible. If, for example, we assume continued investment at about 0.25% of the growing GDP and we also assume that we could conduct a space program that included both a space station and a lunar base for about 30 billion 1990 dollars, then we might see a resumption of lunar operations - preceded by a decade or more of preparatory work - in about 2015.
Of course, if the NASA budget allotment were to grow more quickly than the economy as a whole, we could build the lunar base sooner than 2015.
