Nasa says back to the moon by 2020 and established colony by 2025! Hole in the moon here we come!! This is a shot of a lava lunar tube, an area scientists believe would protect humans from the harsh temperature of the sun and the occasional meteor strike. I'm not sure how it works exactly, I mean I know how a hole works but I'm not sure how we'll be able to utilize a "thin layer of lava" to protect us. I'm sure details of this magical lave idea will come spilling out over time. Or should I say erupting! Scientists say there are other lava tubes on the moon but this one is especially important because of its lava shield and because it looks like it's an incredibly stable hole - one which wont collapse into itself. 'lave tubes exist on Earth and also have been found on Mars. The cylinder-shaped caverns can be carved out by lava flows, volcanic eruptions, seismic activity or ground collapse resulting from meteoroid strikes. The scientists used high-resolution images from a Japanese moon orbiter called SELENE to discover this lunar lava tube. The findings were published November 12.' As soon as the Ritz builds their suites I'm on the first shuttle to the great beyond.
