 CJ>     The Moon may have had a magnetic core in the past

 CJ> There is no reason whatever to think that it's hollow.
 CJ> Indeed, the seismic stations left by the astronauts on

 CJ> indicate the opposite.

and this one point, about the ringing like a gong and the seismic stations,
point that we/someone has been there to have put those stations in place
and to be able to hear the ringing when the moon is struck...

someone's story is flawed >
