The moon is a desolate and empty place. And that's perfect! If an alien civilization ever visited the moon or even if microscopic extraterrestrial organisms fell on it the evidence should still be there.

The Moon is a dead, motionless world where nothing interesting is happening. And that makes the Moon the perfect place to catch alien life and maybe even alien civilizations and technologies. At least this is what a famous dreamer and the boss of astronomy at Harvard Avi Loeb claims.
Loeb is convinced that if we want to find evidence of at least the simplest of extraterrestrial life we should look on the Moon. The Moon could be working as a net for the extraterrestrial organism if any ever were in our Solar system. It's not about the Moon being an attractive target. It's about the fact that if anything alien ever got to the Moon it would stay there preserved for ages as there is no atmosphere, no weather, and practically no geological activity. Its surface is unchanging potentially for billions of years with the exception of an occasional meteorite impact.
Loebs theory isn't really something that is likely to be ever proven. But yet it is incredibly important for science. As is Loebs “dreamer” side. It's exactly this and these kinds of people who bring excitement to the people, who popularize science and thanks to them people want to become scientists. We all know that the strangest and wildest of theories will mostly just remain exactly that – theories. But sometimes humans need a bit of a push towards dreaming about the future.

Moon is looking cool.
I have to agree! It was definitely the dreamer type of content that got me into science. My interest started with science fiction and especially cryptozoology. That led to an interest in animals and bugs which led to an interest in nature in general. From there, I wanted to know the mechanics of how the natural world works.
