Sounds like we need to send a probe or ten to the Moon. Who knows what’s down there? (Although the answer is going to be “some rocks” as far as most non-astronomers are concerned.)

Probably ice. Ice that falls into the entrance and then sublimates has a good chance of moving to perpetual darkness regions and to stay there. Factor a couple billion years and you probably will have a decent amount.

Now imagine there is some simple biology happening from the time the Moon had some atmosphere, in caves sealed billions of years ago.

I wasn't thinking about complex lifeforms, as there isn't enough energy in those dark caves to power anything complicated, but some rock-eaters could have thrived there.

It's remarkable the Moon has so many interesting stories waiting to be uncovered.

Really cool rocks, though.

I would love to know the rough cost to send a probe to the moon.

If only there were terrorists on the moon, then no one would worry about the cost.

There probably wouldn't be a moon left either

You just made me start rooting for Iran’s space program.
