how about the Moon as Noah's Arch?

Well it ain't no Von Neuman Probe.
It is much too big to be a nanobot.


It's also not hollow. Keep in mind that more than zero is known
already about the Moon's innards. Orbital periods of satellites yield
the Moon's mass, and therefore its mass density. A network of seismic
detectors yields data as to the Moon's interior. It's not hollow.

And what is that geometric regularity on the floor of crater Tycho?
Well, let's ask this: What is that geometric regularity in the shape
of crater Barringer, the one over in Arizona? Barringer's rim has a
strong squareness to it. Does this mean that Barringer is an artifact,
a construction project leftover from an ancient civilisation? No. The
predominant bedrock in that region has a strong geometric regularity
to it. There's square already there, in the rock. There's geology
going on here. And the Moon, does it have geology? Yep.
