Moon Cave Discovery Key To Lunar Colonization? – Giant Freakin Robot

However, these Moon caves could help with more than just shelter. Scientists have long been in the search for signs that life existed on the moon at some point. With how exposed to the elements the exterior of the moon is, any remnants of life would have been highly damaged.

But any other life forms that did once live on the Moon likely also had the wherewithal to seek shelter, which means if there were going to be fossils or anything else that showed signs of life, they would likely also be in the caves.

Ironically, the cave that has been discovered was right in the vicinity of where Apollo 11 first landed in 1969. That means astronauts were likely within walking distance of making this discovery decades ago. But with confirmation coming now, scientists are positive that many other moon caves exist that could also be explored.
