The moon is a hollow mistress

Hee. I know! It's in my book what I am writing! And the real joy about this is that I was writing it before I did my research, as all proper writers do, and I had already declared this to be the case before I learned that actually it was.
Also, it is entirely m'wife's fault. Everything that happens in Mars Beneath is down to her, because it was she who told me this was the direction to go, downwards to the interior of things. Martian things. Moonlets not excluded.
