So, they were wandering around already and came upon Earth, Mars, Venus, the Moon and Mercury with nothing but single celled bacteria (if that) ~ and they said to themselves, "Hey, enough of that good stuff has settled out we can grab it and go". So, they mined Venus and Earth for their upper crust ~ it's calcium, sodium, phosphorous ~ all sorts of things good for life forms.

Then they left. My hypothesis is simply that they left some debris around that has lasted over half a billion years. I still have to do more thinking about Mercury. It is obviously very slow rotating ~ all it's angular momentum having been used up launching loads to Jupiter station ~ but the original N appears to be covered with the heavier basalt. Currently one side faces the Sun all the time. Right now I'm thinking maybe there were mining operations on Mercury that made one side heavier than the other, or maybe a large load of Venus crust landed there and weighted down the side nearest the Sun.

The Moon is also in synchronous rotation with its orbit around the Earth. One item in mind is that space elevator/launch mechanism on Earth and Venus was powered by a very large motor consisting of a couple of electro magnets in a boom arm that reverse polarity to use the planetary magnetic field as an energy source. The Moon's field is simply too weak for that for long so that's where they'd use up the angular momentum.

My thesis also answers the question about why mercury spins so slowly and why it's geographic equater is not in synch with its magnetic equator.

Currently NASA is working on a project to go visit that DEEPEST HOLE IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM that's located at the Moon's South Pole.

Did you ever notice that many of the small craters on the Moon are clustered around that hole rather like they just kind of fell in there randomly? My thesis says the loads from Earth were launched to the boom arm launch assembly from a space elevator that gave them just enough momentum to get there. We can probably estimate the speed and size of the loads based on the crater widths and depths. Presumably some of the loads missed getting caught by the boom arm and simply hit the Moon.

Well, as great a vacation spot as it sounds, I haven't had the fortune to visit the South Pole on the Moon.

Do you have a reference for that that is not Late Night: Coast to Coast?

You mean the Aitkens Basin that is up to 13km deep but about 2500km wide? If so, that's more of a reverse plateau than a hole. If you were standing on a large plain at the "bottom" of a depression 13 feet deep that was almost one half mile in diameter, you would scarcely be able to notice.

Here's a link about Aitkens Basin.
