...principal exponent of this theory is Thomas Gold of Britain's Royal Greenwich Observatory, Cosmologist Gold recently developed his ideas for a British university audience. By measuring the size of the moon's craters, the slope of thier sides, and the distance to which debris has been dispersed around them, Gold concluded that they were scooped out by huge meteorites bombarding the moon from outer space at speeds of 112,000 m.p.h.
