@deplated how?

I love how this is what people thought could be on the moon. Before we landed on the moon, and had a definate answer of what was up there the moon seemed a lot better of a place. If you had a talk with someone in 1902 of what was on the moon, you would hear hundred of different, yet wonderful ideas. Now we know its just a rock with creators.

That's about what actually happened.
