[@seismicoracle]

As you may expect, there was a lot of NASA debate regarding the merits of sending explosives as part of a payload on an Apollo mission. No one threw live grenades. The mortar experiment of Apollo 16 and the use of small surface charges on Apollo 17 were both operated remotely after the astronauts had departed the surface. I have personally worked with the passive seismic data. The Moon is in fact very seismically active: the Apollo 16 site could detect meteorite impacts of 1 kg on the opposite site of the Moon, there are Moonquakes related to tidal interaction with the Earth, and there is daily activity related to near-surface fractures responding to temperature changes at sunrise and sunset. Harrison Schmidt was on Apollo 17 and not 16. The 'thumper' experiments of Apollo 14 and 16 basically involved astronauts manually banging a type of hammer on the surface. I have original video of one of the experiments. More research required please.

[@bobholtzmann]

I was unaware of using grenades to produce artificial moonquakes, but for a long time, I knew of the seismic experiment using the third stage of the Saturn V rocket, as it crashed on the Lunar surface. That experiment probably yielded more general nondescript data about the Moon's composition, because of the greater distance between the impact site and the measuring instrument. And with the high variety of terrain and geology on the Moon existing between those two points, there would be a great lack of any specific mineral data about the depth of a basalt layer, etc.

The competition would have been good for progress in space. But I doubt Korolev living through his heart surgery would have made the difference.

[@robertwalsh5461]

Well made and thorough as usual from this channel, although I am compelled to point out a seismic experiment that I would have excepted you to have included but I heard no mention of… I don’t remember which mission (it had to have been one of the last) but I know that the essentially worthless assent module was was purposely detached (for the return trip to Terra.) It had a useful amount of fuel remaining and since it’s mission was already successful…delivering the two astronauts safely back to the orbiter, it was allowed to detach and it’s pattern correction thrusters were used to reorient itself upside down (in relation to the lunar surface.) At this point, it was remotely commanded to fire its main ascent thruster propelling it back down to impact on a point almost exactly on the opposite side of the moon relative to the seismographic pickup devices, that you previously mentioned. This ascent module, weighing several tons and now accelerating under it’s main engine (as well as the force of our moon’s gravity) achieved considerably kinetic energy, many thousands of times that of any seismic charges, aforementioned, impacted the lunar surface which astounding results!!! Thus, the seismographs recorded an unprecedented event…the seismic wave that emanated from this impact, traveled around & though the moon several dozen times! This data also confirmed that a considerable portion of the moon’s interior was hollow. This was theorized earlier by more than one scientist and is supported by the fact that the moon’s rotation is “tidally locked” with the Earth. I am not sure why this is so scarcely know or discussed but it is fact! Best, R. C. Christian

[@ThatBoomerDude56]

No. The moon is not significantly hollow. The seismic waves bouncing through it confirmed that it is solid. People make up nonsense about it having to be "hollow" but that would actually prevent waves from being transmitted through it.

[@rexringtail471]

FYI-- a shotgun-type impulse devise is called a 'betsy gun', a thumper is a different acoustic source using a hydraulically oscillated metal plate that, you guessed it, rapidly thumps the surface. The seismic data recovered in these experiments also validated the then-unpopular 'gaia impact' theory of the moon's formation, which has profound implications both in geology and biology, especially in SETI. The revelation of the moon's true cataclysmic origins was a major scientific finding, but has been largely ignored in pop culture. Also-- watch the archival footage of Cernan and Schmidt on Apollo 17 if you get the chance. It's hilarious-- you can tell they aren't too fond of each other, and Captain Cernan wasn't thrilled some jumped-up PhD was bossing him around.
