The New Scientist website has an article saying that an opening which might be a lava tube mouth has been found in Kaguya images.
Wasn't there a proposal (possibly from one of the Lunar X Prize teams?) of a Lava Tube Explorer rover? This might be a possible destination... |

The Moon did have vulcanism way, way back in the day; there are cinder cones scattered around. It's all ancient, of course.
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
