The video discusses the Apollo 12 mission, focusing on its objective to study the moon's interior using seismometers. The mission included an experiment where the lunar module was crashed into the moon, resulting in unexpected seismic data that suggested the moon might resonate like a bell. This led to speculation about the moon's structure, including the possibility of it being hollow. The video also touches on a classified experiment from Apollo 17, known as Chapel Bell, which remains a mystery and adds to the intrigue about the moon's composition.
