siliconeyes writes "Scientists at the Indian Space Research Organization have discovered a giant underground chamber on the moon, which they feel could be used as a base by astronauts on future manned missions to moon. An analysis by an instrument on Chandrayaan-1 revealed a 1.7-km long and 120-metre wide cave near the moon's equator that is in the Oceanus Procellarum area of the moon that could be a suitable 'base station' for future human missions."

So do the humans plan evicting the aliens that live in there? Or do they live only on the side of the moon that doesn't face Earth?

Whaling. Don't forget whaling. If there ain't no whales, you could tell tall tales and sing a whaling tune.
