Could the strange, newly discovered holes on the Moon be more than just natural formations? Why has China, with its ambitious space program, set its sights on exploring these eerie pits? Are these ancient tunnels merely remnants of volcanic activity, or do they hold something vital for the future of lunar exploration? And could these dark voids be the key to establishing a permanent human presence on the Moon? • 3D animations by Alex Bernal. • Drone footage of the Son Doong Cave at the 20.30 minute mark courtesy of https://oxalisadventure.com • 02:22 Strange Moon Holes • 03:56 Earth’s Lava Tubes • 04:28 Moon Lava Tubes • 07:13 Sponsor Break • 08:39 Why China Cares About the Holes • 09:53 Can Lunar Caves Protect Us? • 11:52 Building Moon Habitats • 14:00 Exploring the Moon’s Tubes • 14:24 DuAxel Rover • 14:55 Daedalus Mapper • 15:28 Spacehopper Bot • 16:42 China’s Lava Tube Plans • 17:15 What’s Inside the Tubes? • 18:15 A New Race to the Moon? • 19:20 China’s Lunar Strategy • 20:12 Caves as Moon Shelters • 21:40 The Moon as a Launchpad • 22:48 China’s Deep Earth Drilling • • References: • Kaku, T., et al.
