The Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission is a Discovery Program mission which will use high-quality gravity field mapping of the Moon to determine its interior structure. Maria Zuber of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is GRAIL's principal investigator. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, will manage the project.
Luna-Glob is the name of a Moon-exploration program by the Russian Federal Space Agency based on plans dating back to 1997. Due to financial problems, however, the project was put on hold only to be revived a few years later. Initially scheduled for launch in 2012,[1] the mission has been brought forward twice, first to 2010 and then to 2009. However, as of late 2008, the plan is again to meet the original 2012 launch date.
The International Lunar Network or ILN is a proposed network of a series of landed stations of the United States and the other space-faring countries on the lunar surface in the 2010s. Each of these stations will act as a node in a lunar geophysical network. Ultimately this network could be comprised of 8-10 or more nodes operating simultaneously. As per the ILN concept, each node would have minimum two core capabilities like seismic sensing, heat flow sensing or laser retro-reflectors, which would be specific to each station. Because some are desired to be located on the lunar far side, NASA will study a lunar communications relay satellite capability as a part of its contribution to this proposed project
A private group planning to launch a moon rover to the famed Apollo 11 landing site in a bid to win a $20 million prize announced an ambitious plan Thursday to send five more spacecraft to explore the lunar poles.

organism,
If you're referring to that crap YTube video celebrating the idiot Hoagland's ridiculous claims....I simply have to mention that the image of the Star Wars 'deahstar' isn't from the original 1977 movie, but one of the sequels. But, of course we all know that George Lucas has a special direct line to aliens orbiting the planet Saturn!!
This stuff all seems to hiinge on coincidences and non-scientific interpretations. It's like seeing animal shapes in fluffy clouds, or a 'face' in a random arrangement of rocks...the human mind is evolved to recognize patterns...that evolutionary trait can also lead to incredible leaps of imagination.

I can't help thinking that the moon actually is artificial, and was brought here at the time of the last ice age.

I've been studying the Terra Papers from Robert Morning Sky recently.
I find the book very interesting, since it pretty much explains everything about the origins of earth and man.
Since i found the recent MOON is artificial thread very fashinating, i decided to share some of my ideas here.
I can't help thinking that the moon actually is artificial, and was brought here at the time of the last ice age.
Here are some quotes from the terra papers, sorry if there are typos, i could not cut and paste because they are on PDF format.
The ASA-RRR science of war was a technology of death called 'AT'. And from this new science, the ultimate warship was spawned. A planet-sized globe with armaments of all other starships...and more, the spaceship was dubbed the 'RR' or 'AR'. A miniature world capable of a destruction never before seen... ...The rays of the sun glistening of the death-ship made the AR shine like a bright star in the skies.
There were actually two AR ships, the other one was pretty much destroyed in the war between the two. I don't know why, but i have a feeling that the other one(or what is left of it) is IAPETUS, one of the strangest moons of Saturn.
The AR flagship, the ASA-RRR ship of state was expected to arrive in ERIDU (Earth) soon. Knowing that the massive deathship caused an enormous gravitational pull, the prince (ENLIL) decided to steer the course of the AR into a path he could utilize. By changing the path over the icy poles, the gravitational pull would be strong enough to cause glaciers to fall into ocean. This in turn would cause needed environmental changes. If a resultant flooding destroyed the beasts(humans), then so be it! The prince of the word could justify the sacrifice of the beast(human) in exchange for the warming of the planet, the increasing of the amount of usable ocean waters, and the end of the ice age gripping the upper and lower hemispheres.
It pretty much explains the stories of a flood mentioned in the bible and other ancient texts.
When the mighty AR returned, the floods began as EN-LIL had expected them to. He felt relieved, the beast would not be around to disturb him any more. EN-LIL had tried to destroy the beast(human) with a flood, EA(or EN-KI) had broken a promise not to warn his creation, the BEAST
could it be that the moon we see is infact an alien outpost, left in the earth orbit for some reason, perhaps to watch over us because we are their creation and slaves?
I know there are many people here at ATS who have read the terra papers, i would really appreciate if someone has any thoughts of the subject, thank you.
