No. The lunar rocks found in Antarctica all show distinctive features of having entered the earth's atmosphere at high speeds. Again, geologists actually know more about this than you do. When they are convinced that samples have come directly from the moon's surface, it means something. When you think they're wrong, it doesn't mean anything.
You certainly don't disappoint. Given the choice between admitting you're wrong and positing that entire fields of science, the world over, for more than half a century, are too stupid and complacent to challenge the lies of Nixon or Johnson, you go with the latter.
Didn't it take until the '80s before a geologist suggested looking for lunar meteorites in Antarctica?
The idea that Antarctica was a good place to look for meteorites in general goes back to the 1960s. A lot of ordinary meteorites were collected in the 1970s. It was not until 1982 that some of them were identified as being from the Moon.
It is, however, remarkably similar to conspiracy theory peddlers lying to scientifically ignorant plebes about subjects they don't understand but imagine they do.
No one is appealing to hero worship. No one is saying the evidence they went is that we think they were awesome. We're saying, here's the mountain of scientific evidence that they went, and going there was also awesome.
I guess DK-E did win out
Please please no. I just got down to only fourteen behind.
Ok, I'll accept that. Being continuously, spectacularly wrong about nearly everything on the other hand.....
Why not do some actual research *before* posting your usual drivel?
Sigh. No.
Many have been the times where a claim has been made, and my internal response of "that can't be right...." opened up a whole new rabbit hole to fill a gap in my knowledge. My internal reponse is more often than not correct, but I get to understand why.
So I don't hero worship Neil Armstrong, or JayUtah, even if I have the utmost respect for their knowledge, but you, sir, are now my hero! That has to be considered a truly Herculean task!
Not wasted; there are those who come away from this thread a little better informed (not naming names, but it starts with H, and ends with elen), and also quite amused...
Again, the lunar rocks are rather like the reflectors, they don't actually prove the topic at hand.
I didn't say that at all. I just don't think it is a relevant argument. It is like saying entire countries, 66m Brits and 330m Americans believed Sadam had Weapons of Mass Destruction (= Iraq War). We now know that was completely false propaganda from Bush and Blair. So we have to reject the hypothesis that X no. of people believe it, therefore it happened.
My factual correction referred to your erroneous claim.
They are yet another item of evidence consistent with Apollo 11 actually visiting the Moon, for which you need to provide a convincing alternative explanation rather than just hand waving if you want to show a hoax.
