A robot designed to enter and explore coal mines may soon be heading off to visit caverns on the Moon.

Nature.com said:

The hole was discovered three years ago when Japanese researchers published images from the satellite SELENE1, but spacecraft orbiting the Moon have been unable to see into its shadowy recesses.

fascinating....it could help us understand some of its past, it may not lead to anything, i doubt there was ever any life on the moon, but who knows, we will wait and see.
What scares me with all this trying to find remnants of past life on other planets we know have none now, is discovering there was  humans on there who ended up wiping itself out because of wars and distruction of its planet.....we may learn more about ourselves than we care to, because I doubt it will change what some people here want....power.

In an ideal World a law would be passed were NO guns were allowed and all those out there destroyed, trouble is the law makers are not going to take a risk of trying to pass that without making sure they are armed first.

Fascinating. We have already explored the Moons surface but the chance to explore the subsurface could teach us much more about the Moon as well as how and where to build a possible future lunar base.

This could be some of the baby steps needed towards exploring and colonizing Mars. I've seen satellite images of Mars's caverns too, and remember reading somewhere that there might be one of the best places to search for life (as there is some protection from radiation).

^ the oil idea is an interesting point too ^

Wasn't there some nutter posting around here that the moon is really a hollow spacecraft or some such balderdash?  Now we can know for sure.  :tu:

The cavern seems so huge and might not be made naturally.  If this cavern does exists, why did NASA not followup on it during all these years of mapping the moon and or why not sent up a "rover" to search it?  Perhaps they were given a mandate not to.  Now private companies like the one above can follow their own agenda.  Now past astronauts have described how they were being watched by intelligent beings while they were on the moon...mmm.  Could this cavern or similar be how intelligent life form have evaded from detection? NASA probably photoshop-ed all these images of cavern entrances before public consumption.
