A NEW ARECIBO… ON THE MOON
You might remember the Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico, you know, the big dish in a natural bowl, that suffered mysterious damage and an equally mysterious demise. It might not shock you to learn that scientists are thinking about building one on the far side of the Moon, using robots and a large crater for the purpose:
Here's the basic plan:
In late 2020, the beloved Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico collapsed and was decommissioned. It was a dish-type radio telescope, built into a natural depression in the landscape. Now, as the astronomy community mourns Arecibo’s loss, a team of scientists has just cleared another hurdle to building a much-larger radio telescope. In April 2021, NASA’s Innovative Advanced Concepts awarded the Lunar Crater Radio Telescope project $500,000 for further research and development. This telescope, too, is to be built into a natural depression in the landscape, in this case a bowl-shaped crater on the far side of the moon.
Where and how would a telescope be built in such a remote and inaccessible place? After all, so far, only one spacecraft has successfully soft-landed on the moon’s far side, and that is China’s Chang’e 4, which achieved humanity’s first soft landing on the far side on January 3, 2019. To scientists, Chang’e 4’s success only shows it can be done, and the Lunar Crater Radio Telescope team has an innovative plan. Their idea is to deploy space robots to build the half-mile-wide (1-km-wide) radio telescope in one of several proposed craters on the far side of the moon. The telescope itself is to consist of a wire mesh.
DuAxel is a robotic concept under development that would consist of two tethered rovers. One rover would stay on the edge of the crater and act as an anchor, while the second rover would travel down the crater’s wall into the bowl to build the telescope. A separate spacecraft would deliver a wire mesh dish to the center of the crater that the robots would unfold and drag up the walls of the crater to anchor on the rim.
OK, so far, so good. But why build an Arecibo-like radio telescope on the far side of the Moon? Here's where it gets interesting:
A radio telescope on the moon’s far side would have many advantages over a similar instrument built on Earth. While large radio telescopes do exist on Earth (the biggest one, currently, is FAST in China), our ionosphere blocks Earth-bound radio telescopes from seeing wavelengths longer than 33 feet (10 meters). The moon’s lack of an atmosphere will allow the longer radio wavelengths to reach a telescope built on the moon. And the far side of the moon is an excellent site for a radio telescope. That’s because the moon itself will block the radio chatter emitted from Earth. These advantages will open up a range of wavelengths that astronomers have not been able to explore.
Again, OK, so far so good. It's another one of those tax-payer-funded science-fair projects that will allow scientists to probe their theories even further. But I cannot imagine NASA, which is so closely tied to the American defense industry and military, being all about "pure science." Indeed, such a radio telescope could perhaps have some military purpose. This is where it gets interesting:
Lunar Crater Radio Telescope team member Joseph Lazio of JPL said:
While there were no stars, there was ample hydrogen during the universe’s Dark Ages, hydrogen that would eventually serve as the raw material for the first stars. With a sufficiently large radio telescope off Earth, we could track the processes that would lead to the formation of the first stars, maybe even find clues to the nature of dark matter. (Boldface emphasis added)
This is an admission I find extraordinarily interesting, for some scientists have proposed that "dark matter" may be the key to fantastic new energy technologies, to anti-gravity, to NASA's warp drive project, and yes, to a whole new category of weapons. And of course, if "anyone" is "out there", it might be able to pick up signals, and send them.
Of course, there's a few flies in the ointment, not the least of which is that NASA hasn't (so far as we know) been back to the Moon in any major way since the Clementine mission of the 1990s, and China, as the article points out, is the only nation to have successfully landed a probe on the far side, no mean feat of engineering.
But there's another potential fly in the ointment. At the 2015 Secret Space Program conference in Bastrop, Texas, I outlined a theory, based on a very ancient idea, that the orbit of the Moon could be taken as a kind of "quarantine zone" or "demilitarized zone" around the Earth. The idea has been picked up, in one form or another, by various people, including C.S. Lewis in the first of his "space trilogy" books, Out of the Silent Planet. In my version, I tie the idea of a quarantine or demilitarized zone to that of an ancient interplanetary war, with the "victors" imposing certain sanctions on the vanquished, including a "demilitarized zone", much like the Allied Powers did on Germany after World War One, turning the Rhineland into such a zone. I even suggested the idea that one reason that we put little plaques on early space probes to the effect that "we're coming in peace" might not have been just a "good idea" in case our probes encountered "whomever," but also because at a more deep and hidden level, someone within the early space age knew of those ancient traditions, and was worried how human ventures beyond that zone might be interpreted, if "whomever" imposed them was still "out there."
Which puts a quest for constructing a radio telescope on the Moon's far side into a very different light, for construction of such a device, especially for the purpose of teasing out the secrets of "dark matter" (if there is such a thing), and all its possible applications, could very likely be construed as a violation of that quarantine zone. And extending our process of reasoning just a bit farther: if such considerations are known at some deep level, and they're willing to go ahead anyway, that might indicate that the Deep State "they" are relatively confident that humanity has reached a level of technology and/or "diplomacy" that it can handle the "whomever 'them'".
See you on the flip side...

First, thanks to all who posted comments. It’s been an interesting read.
Arecibo – as Dr. Farrell has pointed out previously, the cable at Arecibo didn’t simply fail. It was damaged by extreme heating that fused cable strands. The dish was not repaired and was allowed to collapse. Why? To pave the way for – let’s build a replacement dish! On the moon, no less. On the back side we never see.
Last night I was looking at a high resolution image of the moon and noted several – more than five – hexagonal craters. Hexagons with equal sides. Hoagland describes unnatural structures on the moon. Dr. Steven Greer’s witnesses describe alien structures on the back side of the moon. So I have to wonder (assuming we haven’t had people on the moon these past 40 years or more) if there would not be something more interesting to pursue on the back side of the moon, than constructing a radio telescope? (Is looking for “dark matter” on the “Dark Side of the Moon” going to be the next charade after “looking for ET”? To what extent is Dark Matter the latest scientific snipe hunt? Or hunt for Heffalumps? Or Money Pit for throwing tons of money into some distant and impossible or ultimately irrelevant goal while we are actually pursuing a goal we can’t admit publicly, or even to Congress and the President?)
Since the end of WW II, America has been obsessed with keeping up with the Joneses. After Sputnik, that translated into keeping up with the Russkies. Now with China prowling around on the back side of the moon opening up noodle joints and virus labs and doing who knows what, it easily translates into keeping up with the Yangs. The point being, “we” don’t trust Russia or the Chinese or really anybody who might pose a threat to “us,” whoever we/those in control are.
NASA’s civilian aspect is a cover for its military function. What do “I” really want on the moon? This is where I tend to agree with the Death Star proponents. Do I want to see what’s coming our way from deep space as in light years away? No. I want to see the threats in my neighborhood. I want a watchtower, and the moon is our highest peak. But it doesn’t see in all directions at once. For that we need a network of satellites, linked to our moon. What the back side of the moon provides is a weapons platform, dispersed, hardened against attack, disguised as a peaceful science operation and since possession is 9/10s of the law, we need to stake out our claim(s) in areas of strategic advantage vs. Russia, China, India, France, and ET. So yes, by all means, a radio telescope that takes up a crater a kilometer across. That’s a good start. But we need to keep an eye on the Chinese before they put noodle stands on all the good spots. Why not plan on something like the The Very Large Array and plan for a series of dishes on the moon? It can “look” for “Dark Matter” and broadcast ads to lure ET to Big Jim’s Steak and Spaghetti moon diner while worker bees under the surface stand by to blast the crap out of any “threats.” Because Rule #1: Weaponize everything.
Isn’t dark matter just a misdirection away from the real science of Tesla and the ether?
I’m not sure that thinking in terms of Russia or China is helpful. It seems to me that we are farmed on a planetary basis and that constructs like “Russia” and “China” are just divide-and-conquer tools in The Big Farmer’s toolbox. More misdirection.
When it comes to possession of the moon, it is widely believed that the moon was parked in its current position by its owners and that it is more a vehicle and base of operations than a moon; so those owners might have a thing or two to say about trespassers from the neighboring farm interfering with all those nice, neat hexagonal craters, domes and other investments of theirs.
Aren’t we told that the Apollo 11 crew was given a stern “No Trespassing!” message by the locals after they took their giant leap for mankind?
When multiple waves collide and form particles out of the ether(Background electromagnetic field that fills the entire Universe and all the other dimensions and planes of existence) part of that energy causes a spinning condensation of the ether to become a stable particle when conditions are just right. When conditions are a little off, virtual particles may appear briefly before losing their cohesion and return to ether or waves. A stable particle stretches thin ether and creates regions of negative mass which keeps it spinning and stable. This negative mass region formed in the ether around stable particles is part of what keeps the particles stable and spinning in my theory. I see dark matter as a likely distraction away from Tesla’s ether theory as well. But I’m not a scientist just a philosopher. I also suspect artificial negative mass field generation and manipulation is the key to those flying saucers. Negative mass is different then antigravity. Negative mass was discovered around the the late 1800’s or early 1900’s and I bet the Nazi’s mastered it. Look up negative mass this is a well known and studied theoretical phenomenon.
Helium 3, anybody!! 😉
A NEWS BIT that is going under the radar & should be up front & center. We have a Federal Court Case going which could, indeed, help out We The People & put a big crack in the foundation of The Establishment!!!
Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai has presented PROOF, in court, that an arm of our Gov’t instructed Tw. to remove his remarks while he was running for the Senate…..HELLOOOOOOO!!! A direct connection between our Gov’t & Big Tech….
He came to this country from India at age 7, took the American Dream & ran with it!! Now he is waging an all-out battle to keep that Dream alive & I think we all should support him in this effort! Of course it will not be presented on The News & because of his sometimes, abrasive personality, probably even the Alt. Right will ignore this Important Happening.
One Supernatural Happening is that he got a Constitutional Judge…..imagine that, in this day & age!!! 😉
It seems very likely the USA’s need for radio telescopes, radar and satellite communications on the far side of the Moon is driven by an urgency to keep up with China.
https://news.cgtn.com/news/2021-04-25/China-aims-to-launch-Chang-e-6-lunar-probe-around-2024-ZJWpQGDNhS/index.html
China is way ahead in exploring the far side of the Moon. Will they reveal to the world what they have discovered so far? What evidence do they have to support the theory that the Moon is an artificial moon / satellite that was parked in orbit around the Earth, eons ago? Is it hollow? Does it have massive caverns and cavities inside? Is it like Swiss Cheese?
We know that it rings like a bell from the NASA Apollo 17 Chapel Bell experiment!
In one’s humble opinion, keeping up with that thug Party of the east by going west is more akin to keeping a wide-open protected eye on their excessive treachery and thieving. With good reason, too, some of those developments stolen are likely well advanced of “Buck Rogers” crew and associate support bases. That’s reason enough.
Correcting a radio wave blind spot, from an astronomers point of reference, seems reasonable. In one’s opinion, no access to raw data afforded, no dollar spent. And further, real civilian contracting en masse so that the transportation of back-and-forth missions to the lunar surface can be reasonably fined tuned and expanded in real daylight hours. One is aware of the stories of those other space program(s) but until they are front and center daily flights, no afforded full access no dollar spent. There’s an entire swathe of subindustries just waiting to be tapped by an industrious and innovative people. One knows of such a people. They’re no longer willing to be stolen from or dumbed down by you-know-who and their associates in hiding.
Those that had interpretation issues decades ago about how folks would accept their boogeyman still have their idiot issues they may keep and might even be considered loitering where they ought not be. Continued failings from a substantial money sink hole most go, too. It probably has a shining glare in the daylight.
We’ll see what propagates from their talk, and talk and talk, soon enough.
this effort is a robotics challenge: the design of a wire mesh that small climbing robots could deploy to form a large parabolic reflector.

my contention that the moon orbits inside the van allen belt, only unmanned missions leave this radiation fence around earth. manned moon missions are highly suspect theater unless they slip in/out of 3d with aether ships.
Off the end of the twig I go. Sans parachute.
1) Assuming we’ve been on the moon building stuff for 40+ years.
2) It is already there they just need to get billions for building it.
3) It isn’t for communications. It’s a weapon.
4) We’ve turned the moon into our very own death star.
Isn’t it a case of putting the cart before the horse the CSA dropped the ball fifty years ago when it abandoned the space program at least officially. And went back to fighting the Indian wars in which everyone on Earth gets to become an Indian to be tortured and killed. And does Dark Matter and Energy really exist to begin with any way or was there a Big Bang to begin with? For now wouldn’t be cheaper to rebuild the Arecibo radio telescope as for one on the Moon why not add an optical telescope as well.
How do we know there isn’t one of those already there? How do we know whether they want the project on the books to siphon monies for a very different secret project using an proposed lunar telescope as justification? With respect to lunar bases, telescopes and such, we have to be prepared for a fascist con to condition the population to accept the propaganda for off-world projects using bogus “missions” as advertisements. The objective is for us to believe whatever we are told without thinking critically. At the least they may have a prototype of something already there and need a full-blown version to make it more useful. You can bet your last dollar on the idea that this “telescope” would have a dual function–possibly as a weapon system also. Unlike the Puerto Rican version, who is in a position to verify its function or existence? We’re talking about the same intellectuals behind this grand plandemic after all. How many of us believe that story? Why should be believe the details of this one? When you play the misdirection game too long, then shift your vision for development into space, your credibility should be questioned. With the Federal Reserve Banks having digital currency wars and the financial system gearing up for migrating financial services in the cloud, the more likely scenario is a secret communication system for interstellar e-commerce. Would they sell that project as a lunar telescope to replace Arecibo? Of course they would. A lunar platform would be the first step–and it would be definitely covert for the first leg. The black economy would require such for its own purposes. They would want it publicly funded, too.
Now that they have FASAB 56 and the books have all in effect gone black, do they need to play games with their funding mechanisms any more? I think the purpose of the publicity is to misdirect us as to the purpose of the project rather than to conceal the cost and funding mechanisms.
I agree that the purpose of the “telescope” (and the planned lunar data center?) is probably to support off-planet commerce.
I’d be more concerned with the ‘someone’ that’s way way out there. Someone beyond our solar system and galaxy. I’m thinking about Dr. Paul Laviolette ‘s reporting in his book The Talk of a The Galaxy.
We tripped the quarantine zone decades ago and with the voyager space craft leaving the solar system had sealed that. Any work being done on the moon and any celestial body in our solar system is known. So where’s the concern? I think it’s with the ‘someone’ way out there. ‘We come in peace by way of a large radio telescope on the far side of the moon”
What about the project of turning the moon into a deathstar?
We see the Narrative of peaceful searching still being pushed. Yet in the background of it all is the weaponry.
The article doesn’t mention how they intend to communicate with a telescope on the far side of the moon. Also, while the Earth’s atmosphere does block a lot of radio waves, the advantage of having a radio telescope on the Earth is that it is well-protected (by the magnetic field) from the charged particles in the solar wind. I would guess charged particles from the sun directly bombarding the lunar surface would cause a lot of interference in the telescope, and might even fry its circuits.
It is already public that there are plans to build a data center on the moon, and that Nokia has already been given a contract to build a 4G network there. Doubtless there is more going on than we are being told officially. People like Chris at YT/Mars Anomalies and Beyond claim that the moon (and Mars) has already been highly developed by someone or other.
I’m guessing they’re most interested in monitoring who’s flying around — human and non-human — outside the Moon’s orbit. What this says to me is there’s probably a whole lot going on out there…
Very good (and sophistcated) pointy point Mister Sophistication!
I’m actually going to go behind the picture being drawn here.
No matter the senses: whether eyes[telescopes]; or, ears[radio telescope]; it is your brain that interprets the images for you.
But, in the case of digital information; their brains are algorithms.
So, what your seeing/hearing; has been algorithmically filtered, before your mind even gets into the “big picture”
In my mind’s eye, this then is a programmed image.
Already suspect; before any other sabotage.
After all, life is defined Not by uncertainty itself[what’s out there]; but, by a commitment to living despite it.
A start line has begun to be defined. It is developing in many formats; primarily at its core is the line between Code/Law.
Those codes effect humans.
Those codes are being written by algorithms[Robots] for human.
To today’s post.
I think it ironic, the layers of deceit being embedded.
One, as alluded to above: the algorithm.
Two, the Gerandi[the term Machiavelli himself used for “elites”];
will the re-filter images for the public.
Three, Big Tech will further re-filter it for their information prisoners.
One need go to the far side of the Moon,
to see/hear know of the deceptions being embedded/hidden.
Hell, I don’t even believe their 500,000 dollar figure.
Guess what time it is?
I’m late!
White Rabbit.
The unsaid technology in all this; to the moon; soft landing on the moon; taking off from the moon; and back to Earth – is antigravity.
Is somebody using that technology in regards to the moon?
How many are clued in?
Are they using it; and just not reporting it?
Surely the “Nation States” in the space race, are well aware of this technology, and others[zero-point energy]?
Now, are the algorithms are building the moon radio telescope facility?
Quarantine Zone?
Ancient Cosmic War; imposed upon Earth?
Forbidden zone outside of moon’s orbit?
The Gerandi have determined it’s time to step outside the ring?
Do the treaty’s enforcers have some embedded trip wires?
To sound the alarm of an escaped prisoner; or, to zap the prisoner?
Was there a time frame to the quarantine?
Does someone on Earth know?
Perhaps an embedded guardian?
Maybe the Moon will get the message; by means other than hearing?
One thing’s for certain; the public want know.
Oh, they might hear the Big Tech’s manufactured narrative;
but, the good stuff?
Only the algorithms know for sure.
So far, our hair is being taken care of by humans[hair dresser/barbers].
But, even your hairdresser doesn’t know for sure;
when algorithms are coming for her job.
You can bet she won’t see it coming; or, hear it.
Big Tech seeks to establish a global system of automatic rent extraction from the real economy.
I wonder, if the Galactic Powers are already doing that; as a condition to go beyond the moon’s orbit.
Unfortunately, the Earth’s Gerandi are still well w/in
the Galactic orbit of power, influence and tribute.
Just as Big Tech’s system doesn’t stop at the digital world;
because Big Tech has established itself as the essential intermediary, the indispensable go between to physical exchange.
I doubt they are going through all this to find clues on dark matter. They are interested in something else. Such a large radio telescope might make an excellent electric generator as well. Radio waves can be converted to electricity and perhaps even the flow of charged particles from solar and galactic winds over the wire mesh. Perhaps certain detectable waves are generated when stuff comes out of warp induced space/time dimension gates and they want heads up when and where such activity may be occurring. On the side I have done some research on planetary magnetic fields recently and it appears liquid metallic hydrogen mixed or abundant in cores is the real key to them. Being a water world and hydrogen being extremely attracted to iron at high pressures and temperatures, created and keeps ours going. Also the Sun’s solar storms interacts with planetary magnetic fields to continuously re-heat our core. During solar calms the core likely cools and contracts sligtly and re-heats when the magnetic feild absorbes large blows keeping the convection going. Venus and Mars likely don’t have enough hydrogen thus conductivity to have a magnetic field. Earth sized planets with magnetic fields may be the key signature to look for life in other solar systems. May indicate such a planet has lots of hydrogen and thus water of some sort.
The first time i read about plans for a radio telescope on the far side of the moon was in the early 90’s
Dark matter wasn’t even discovered yet
And 500 grand for research for such a project is nothing
Total speculation here…if Mars was nuked, lost a war, came here, acted up again, war in skies over India, lost again, acted up again,flood happened, Earth made a prison planet with “watchers”. Now inmates are planning a breakout. If prison guards are coming back to check, that would mean the aliens would be seen which would mean that the Pentagon, et al, would need to disclose info about ufo’s which they are in the process of doing.
Exciting times.
The ihmo widely underestimated SF Author Stanislaw Lem wrote a fabulous novel “Peace on Earth” where the USA and the Sovietunion externalize and automize all the weapon development to the Moon to demilitarize the Earth. But then they don’t know anymore what’s going on there… As usually, Lem combines great speculations about physics and technology with critical philosophical questions. Btw, the story “Peace on Earth” has a great idea how a whole high-tech civilization could disappear without leaving any trace — except sand.
It’s now on my reading list Apeiron!
What serendipity to have the surname LEM.
Old idea. We’ve been there a couple (?) times.
Perhaps some or all of the terms of the treaty expired with the Age of Pisces?
The Gatekeeper of the Apollo missions was an Egyptian from Cairo – Farouk El-Baz.
https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2019/7/20/profile-farouk-el-baz-the-egyptian-behind-the-moon-landings
It is most fascinating and revealing that El-Baz was not only secretary of the Moon Landing Site Selection Committee for the Apollo missions during these years, but a principal investigator of Visual Observations and Photography and chairman of the Astronaut Training Group of the Apollo Photo Team.
Years later, in 1986, he joined Boston University as Research Professor and Director of the Center for Remote Sensing to promote the use of space technology in the fields of archaeology, geography and geology. Under his leadership, the Center has grown to become a leading force in the applications of remote sensing technology to environments around the world. In 1997, NASA selected it as a “Center of Excellence in Remote Sensing.”

Just what secrets did Arthur and Stanley know when they made 2001: A Space Odyssey?
The first time I heard you mention the “Treaty of Versailles Theory”, it made sense. Weather or not whomever did or did not establish such a boundary is still “out there”, I remain sceptical of; though I do wonder how the proposed space station on/orbiting the moon would relate to such a boundary.
This honestly occurred to me while writing the above – what if Trump’s sincere effort to have a manned mission to Mars had something to do with why the deep state wanted him gone so baddly?
There have been songs with lyrics mentioning the far side of the moon…
However Beethoven ‘s moonlight sonata was written before Radar was up and running.
Gee whiz., Aren’t there cocktails with hydrogen added liking a smoking Gin fizz
Of course only if you have the special ring pass not VIP lounge card.
Isn’t the moon not the moon that the cow jumped over but a satellite of some sort.
