is the moon really made from cheese?

Yes.\n\nWhy do you think in that nursery rhyme that the cow jumped over the moon?\n\nCows make the milk that make cheese. Think about it.\n\nAnd if you really believe this, I can get you a really great deal on the Washington or Brooklyn Bridge, if you're interested.

While I've never heard that, I don't doubt that it was said. But it is false. Rumors like that start all the time. There has never been anything found on the moon. No alien structures, no "glass domes", nothing like that. Maybe they were seeing a weird inactive volcano of something. I don't know what it actually was, because like I said I've never heard that.

Sean is right but it was manufactured that way as a perfect observation post from the aliens inside it observing us.\n\nthe moon is an artificial satellite and is hollow.

No.  I saw this video about the moon landing, and how it was done.  The video showed how the lighting was all wrong, and a picture a satellite took of a "part of the moon" here on earth.  I could go on, but I am too tired.

A satellite is the moon of a planet.

Someone would believe that because the videos/films of the event are the kind that could have been faked.  Someone might not have been a direct eyewitness to the event.  Someone might believe in a gov't conspiracy to divert huge amounts of money to covert projects or pockets.  Someone might believe the moon is not actually a sphere or is in some fashion incapable of being landed on.  Someone might be from a country or society that does not like the United States and was told convincingly that it was a fake (There is no way to prove this wrong other than taking the skeptic to the moon and showing him the remains of the landers)

Heh, guess I'm here to play devil's advocate... To counter what the person above me said, personal accounts can be falsified, as well as movies (ever notice how the "moon" looks a lot like the New Mexican desert?). Moon rocks could easily have fallen from sky due to meteor impacts, it doesnt mean we were there and actually took them ourselves. And as to the corner cube, any simple machine could have dropped or placed it on the moon. And speaking of the pictures, there is quite a bit of controversy over them (see the link in the source section). Well, that was fun.

Think rally hard. The moon has gravity just like the earth. Have you ever seen a flag on earth stand that straight? They had a metal pole across the top and the grainy video make it look as if it is fluttering.

If the moon were made of cheese, it would probably be molded by now, and thus would be green.  So if it is made of cheese, it would have to be green cheese.  So the only thing we have to discover is if it is made of cheese at all.  I vote we send Rat up there and find out.  Of course, I'm not sure if he is thrilled about eating moldy cheese.  So we just may never know.

People in cultures that spread the full moon myth do act crazier. We have set a tone that allows people to excuse themselves their behavior based on moonlight, then see the news proving it is true. It is self-induced, not actually caused by the moon or the moonlight (which is actually just reflected sunlight).\n\nP.S. Tidal theories relating to the water in human bodies have nothing to do with anything.  The moon's gravity is not increased by reflecting more light toward an observer.

IT DOES NOT GLITTER. ACTUALLY ITS THE REFLECTION OF THE SUN WHICH MAKES THE MOON APPEAR TO GLITTER.

Alright dumb dumbs, quit saying "moon" cuz that's not what we're going for here. You're like my 6 year old neighbor boy who wears girls' pull-ups.  Let's grow up a bit and learn to use the potty.  I think it should be named after someone highly influential to the study of our galaxy, no, not "Dubya".  What about Gali? short for Galileo (der)  Or we could go the pretty route with Lumina? Or whimsical........name a favorite cheese and top it with something sweet: manchego butterscotch.  That's my pick right there.  It's so logical: Manchego Butterscotch.

Why do morons insist on making something out of absolutely nothing?!  OF COURSE WE LANDED ON THE MOON!  Do you think all those incredible images from space were a hoax as well?!  Ask Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and all the men who have been on the moon to show you their private photos and to share their recollections!  Must we continue to perpetuate these ignorant and unfounded stories of hoaxes??!!  Take a deep breath, switch to decaf, and join the REAL world!!  ANY of our satellites can pinpoint EXACTLY where each of the remnants of our Apollo landing equipment is, and all the flags and instruments that were left behind!!  For God's sake, people: remove the poles that have long been residing in your rear ends, as well as the remnants of retardation that were left behind in your brains!!!

*sigh* Once again, I'll link to the Bad Astronomer page debunking the myth that the moon landings were a hoax, mostly for the benefit of mrkit99.\n\nAnd remember, as a rocket scientist I know said, "Of course the moon landings were real! Do you have any idea how much harder it would be to fake them than to actually go there?!?"

we all know the moon is made of cheese. haven't you ever seen wallace and gromit?

There is not much on the moon that would allow much in the line of chemical reaction.  Other than meteoriod bombarding its surface, intense radiation from solar flares may modify the surface chemistry a bit.  It definitely creates a static charge on the loose lunar soil so it would cling to the astronauts' (who walked on the moon) space suits.  Some of the astronauts commented that the moon dust smelled almost like gunpowder.\n\nFor sure, the moon will not change into green cheese anytime soon...unless you have and infinite improbability drive...then anything is possibe (or improbable)

I think they did it. A friend of mine directed me to lunaranomalies.com and they had some interesting theories, yet each of these amateur theories were disproved. Look at it this way. In 1969 the americans and the russians were locked in a desperate bid to get into orbit and ultimately the moon. "Journey beyond selene" by Jeffery Kluger brilliantly documented this. The russian premier publicly mocked the americans and their various failures at even hitting the moon with a basic rocket. Enter 1969 and the pictures of Aldrin and Armstrong on the moon. No comment from Russia. They didn't even televise it. If there was even a hint of evidence that it was faked, the russians would have been all over it like a rash. If it was faked they did a really good job. A secret like that could never be kept, and not one reputable scientist has challenged it. All we have are diehard and paranoid lay people looking for attention. If you look up Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin on the net you might find some hilarious footage of the day he left a conference to be accosted by one such person. He knocked him flat with one punch! Hilarious. Selene is the greek word for moon.
