Mooon shine and madness - How was our Moon made?

There is a theory that a Mars sized proto planet rammed the Earth and created the moon to tango with the earth.

They say it takes two to tango. So there are two different theories on this too.

In any case the old theory of impact creation of our moon seems to be valid.
