Our Moon as BattleStar

It does, kook.

Um hello, moron, look up in the sky. See the face on the
moon. Ever seen any other side of the moon except the one
facing earth?

You think that proves it doesn't rotate on an axis?! Please say
no. I don't want you to be that stupid. It actually proves that
it does rotate. Sheesh.

"a star ship captain from the future"

Riiiiiiight.


Have you heard him?

Do you know him?

Then why are you sceptical?

Are you suggesting that a large rock, hit the earth, with blasted
another rock into space, and then it was pelted by asteroids
and became round?
Then why doesn't it rotate on its axis?

Where is the proof of your assertion or is this yet another case
of acedemia deluding itself?

At least I provide proof of my assertion.



I've seen your previous kooky posts. That's enough to know that
you are nothing but another kook spewing his imagination.

Ir you are going to assert things about planetary mechanics,
why don't you start by reading some elementary books on
the subject? Next you'll be claiming that you have to slow
down to move from a high geostationary orbit to a lower
geostationary orbit. Sheesh.


He's too busy talking to spaceship captains from the future.

The moon rotates on its axis approximately once per month.

A couple of years ago a guy actually argued something like that
with me. He reasoned: The tangent speed of an orbiting satellite
becomes smaller with increasing altitude. Thus, by bleeding off speed,
the satellite will be induced to spontaneously rise!

But this thing about the Moon's rotation is interesting. So many
people come to the same misconception, that it doesn't rotate, because
it always shows the same face toward Earth. They're not looking at the
whole picture. If they were to ask what face the Moon shows to the
other planets, and the distant stars, and the near star, our Sun...
The fact that the Moon undergoes phases is itself a demonstration of
its rotation.

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.

I've sometimes wondered how we would react, or what we could possibly do, if
a Von Neuman Probe came along and began converting our moon into a bunch
more Von Neuman Probes. Seems like there ought to be a SF story in there.

We should ask, critically and with appeal to the numbers, whether the
best site for a growing advancing industrial society is Earth, the
Moon, Mars, some other planet, or somewhere else entirely.
Surprisingly, the answer will be inescapable - the best site is
"somewhere else entirely."
