Ah ha! So it is made of cheese!

Wasn't expecting that one. I was hoping to see if I could see some signs of men on the moon, but I guess that even zoomed in all the way (without the cheese) it still would have been to low a resolution to see.

Well, here's what Google Moon's autoresponse FAQ had to say about the type of cheese which the Moon is made of:

If you're wondering what type of cheese the moon is made of, we wish we
could tell you. Conventional 20th century belief suggested that it was
made of green cheese, but recent data has disproved this theory. Diligent
research by the world's most preeminent scientists suggests that it's
either havarti or gouda. We recognize that a sniff-off among our talented
Google users would likely resolve these scientific disputes, so we're
working on patented scratch-and-sniff technology. You didn't hear it from
us, but if you get close enough to your monitor, you may be able to
discern the cheese by smell.

Thank you for taking the time to write.

I wasn't able to smell anything except the usual apple scent on my Tibook.

They also noted:

We'll also keep constructive feedback and suggestions - we know, you'd like to see Mars, too - in mind for the future.

So I suggest you email them if you want to see if Marvin is home.

It has to be havarti, gouda doesn't have any bubbles (of consequential size or repeated appearance) in it!

Its probably swiss cheese, because I smelt a moon rock over at the Smithsonian Science Center in Washington DC a few years back, and it matches the acute bitter stench of swiss cheese, especially moldy swiss cheese. Not to mention the crater-like holes on the large rocky substance matches the bubbly content of swiss cheese.

Weird, I thought life cannot thrive in the intense vacuum of space.
