Buy my book about it, it explains how all through history mankind has been duped into believing there is this big ball of rock in the sky!

Poppycock! The Moon is a large rubber skin filled with inflated seal bladders, and it is named Samuel. The British constructed it and put it in orbit in 1802 during the Peace of Amiens in case the war with France continued. The plan was to de-orbit Samuel and bounce it off of Paris (thus destroying it) in case of French invasion. Luckily, this never happened, and Samuel was never deployed.
Since the Admiralty was left with an enormous orbiting sphere after the war's end, they decided to put it to good use. They created the myth that the "Moon" had always existed through history and used it as a munitions depot. It's still in use today.
Beat that!
