It's easier to explain why the moon shouldn't exist than why it does. All theories of lunar origin don't make sense. The moon's mass and assumed density suggest it should have settled into spherical form... with a single center of mass. Free to rotate on any axis. But the... show more

Earth’s Ecliptic VS. Lunar orbital plane. - The Moon's orbital plane around Earth is called the lunar orbital plane. It is inclined about 5.14 degrees relative to the ecliptic plane, which is the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun.

The Moon’s rotation is perfectly locked to its orbit…a 1:1 spin-orbit coupling. That shouldn’t happen if the Moon were evenly distributed. This anomaly suggests extreme rigidity inside the lunar crust. Something beneath the surface is holding it in place.

Does the moon rotate on its axis? Most people can't even conceptualize the question. Unlike our ancestors... who paid obsessive attention to the moon. They built huge structures and monuments dedicated to observing lunar motions. All over the world. Why were they so interested in the moon?

Mass immigration is insane and will lead to the destruction of any country that allows it. I explain how it only takes a tiny percentage of the world to move to a country, and it is no longer that country… A country is its people, not its geography.

ELON MUSK: The only way to reach 1,000 terawatts of AI power is a mass driver on the Moon. "In order to get to 1,000x from a terawatt per year. The only way that we can really achieve that is on the moon with a mass driver, essentially where you do local production of photovoltaics and radiators on the moon, maybe you bring the chips from Earth, or you could conceivably make the chips on the moon, and but you need most of the mass to be made on the moon, so you don't have to transport it to the moon from Earth, and then because the moon has no atmosphere and only 1/6 Earth's gravity, you can accelerate the AI satellites into deep space without a rocket, so you can basically shoot them into space using an electromagnetic gun, like a, like a rail gun type. I mean, just, it's basically a linear electric motor, as a way to think about it."

Why does a spinning object speed up as it shrinks? This Hoberman sphere demonstration illustrates the law of conservation of angular momentum. Moment of inertia measures how mass is distributed relative to the axis of rotation. When the sphere collapses, its mass moves inward. This decrease in inertia forces the angular velocity to increase because the total momentum of the system must remain constant. This same principle allows figure skaters to accelerate their spins and causes collapsing stars to become rapidly rotating pulsars. It is a fundamental rule of physics. Geometry determines speed.

Elon: To understand the universe, we have to explore it. Earth is a dust mote. The Sun holds 99.8% of the solar system’s mass. Orbital data centers are next. 100–200 gigawatts per year. Moon factories. Mass drivers. AI satellites into deep space. This is how consciousness scales. From dust mote to stars. Elon Musk

The Moon defies expectations. On Earth, dense material sinks while lighter rock rises—but on the Moon, it’s reversed. Add in hundreds of reports of mysterious outgassing and lights on the surface, and you begin to wonder: If the Moon has enough mass to form a perfect sphere, why hasn’t it? What hidden activity is still unfolding inside our closest cosmic neighbor?

The Moon is massive enough that its gravity should shape it into a perfect sphere—but it’s not. Why? It has two distinct moments of inertia, meaning it's not evenly balanced. That tells us something strange: the Moon isn’t just spinning—it's locked in a 1:1 spin-orbit resonance with Earth. That’s why we only ever see one face. If it were perfectly symmetrical, Earth’s gravity wouldn’t have such a grip on it. So what stopped the Moon from smoothing out? This isn’t just a cosmic curiosity—it’s a clue.

🚨NASA crashed a spacecraft into the moon and it rang like a bell for an hour. On November 20, 1969, Apollo 12 deliberately crashed its lunar module into the moon's surface and seismometers recorded vibrations lasting almost an hour. When they repeated the experiment with Apollo 13's rocket stage, it rang for nearly four hours. NASA geophysicist Gordon MacDonald published a paper stating the data suggested "the Moon is more like a hollow than a homogeneous sphere." The moon is tidally locked, has only 60 percent of Earth's density, and no model fully explains how it got here.

The reason we don't see the "dark side" of the moon is because it doesn't exist. The moon is not a rock quarter of a million miles away. It is plasma and a luminiar close to earth.

The virtuousness, thoughtfulness and sincere heartfelt empathy to the now-deceased mass murder is truly inspiring! It is very important to respect the gender identification of the now-deceased mass murder. You would not want to be callous, and refer to the now-deceased mass murder as any other gender than that with which he identified before he decided to commit mass murder. My New Year’s resolution was to swear less on Twitter. But my goodness does the reality of the world make that impossible. This man is not “law-enforcement”. He is pure filth. Funk this guy. I truly hope he gets fired. I meant to say the F word, but AutoCorrect is trying to keep me a better person.

Next stop: lunar flyby. The Orion spacecraft recently ignited its main engine on the service module for about six minutes to provide about 6,000 pounds of thrust. This maneuver not only sets the Artemis II astronauts on the path to the Moon. It also puts the crew in a free return trajectory, which will allow them to use Moon's gravity to return to Earth.

Is Starship HLS really is a viable option for NASA and SpaceX to get humans back onto the surface of the moon for the Artemis Program?

The same side of the Moon always faces Earth, but not in exactly the same way. Due to its tilted axis and elliptical orbit, we see about 59% of its surface over time. This simulation compresses a year into 60 seconds, making the Moon's wobble, called libration, visible. 📽: NASA
