Oh yes. They are strange and you would have thought that anything making that hole would have gone a lot further in and made a bigger depression underneath. Thanks for the links.
I have seen the holes on Mars, yes, but the holes on the surface of the Moon? Are there pictures and coordinates for them? Maybe a picture and a URL address so that we can see please? That would be interesting.

Hi, I can explain your doubt maybe. 1. Have to be considered that ther's no a unic corporation between all the state of the globe around space research. As in politics there are different countries and different aims. The fact that ther's no a Global Earth parlaments does not shock you. And even the presence of different Space Agengy have not to shock you. You have to consider a miracol the collaboration between ESA and NASA. 2. The last moon discoveries (JAXA japanese mission SELENE )have shown the presence of strange hole on the surface which are the entrances for a not-known world under the surface. The holes ( found even on mars) open us a new underground world more protect than the surface and water hosting.
I hope to have answered to your questions. Sorry for English
Now... in theory, we have already sent a man to the moon (more than one, in fact) and the Russians have sent a number of lunar rovers already, so why would ESA want to pay to have someone design a lunar lander when it would be an ideal opportunity to award the design to a university like the US has done. It would make use of the expertise in the universities and it would develop our students to become planetary scientists.
I realise that someone still has to build it, but a lot of the donkey-work could be done by universities doing good space science just like Cornell etc.
Maybe I just dont realise what and how much work is involved.
On the other hand, where is the international space co-operation and why wont the USA or Russia share its lander design with ESA? Why dont ESA want these designs?
Of course, it is all just pie in the sky and an excuse to spend money on making it look like we are still going back to the Moon. China is due to send another probe to orbit the Moon, to be launched in Oct 2010, but still no-one actually lands there. I reckon it is different countries wanting to keep an eye on what is happening up there and no-one knows quite what to do next.
