McDonald, Dr. George
– Article in ASTRONAUTICS magazine., July 1962., p. 14-15: McDonald, a NASA scientist, stated that according to an analysis of the Moon’s motion, as well as other factors calculated into his lunar scientific model, the Moon appears to be hollow: “If the astronomical data are reduced, it is found that the data require that the interior of the Moon is more like a hollow than a homogeneous sphere.” The thesis that all moons and planets are hollow is not so difficult to comprehend, considering that all space bodies, while in the molten state of formation, spin-rotate rapidly, and like the inside of a washing machine in its’ “spin cycle”, the molten rock would naturally be removed outward from the center of the spin. Only that matter at the exact center which is not subject to the spin-motion will remain, and this may explain why many planets are said to contain a small “sphere” of electromagnetic energy and molten “gas” which serves as a central heat and light source (a mini-sun if you will) which illuminates and heats the inner concavitic surface of these spheres.
