Aha, now at last it comes out:
A treasured piece at the Dutch national museum - a supposed moon rock from the first manned lunar landing - is nothing more than petrified wood. At one point it was insured for around $500,000 (£308,000), but tests have proved it was not the genuine article.
The US agency gave moon rocks to more than 100 countries following lunar missions in the 1970s. US officials said they had no explanation for the Dutch discovery.
I have an explanation - they didn't go and it is moonbattery to say they did. The science itself precludes it and now, the last major argument that they did has fallen away.
Watch the proponents of the moon landing say it was only a one off hoax in Holland and that all the other bits of moon rock are genuine though. :)
Or someone nicked the original? It's an odd conspiracy that thought that a bit of petrified wood was just the thing to use to fool the world. If they'd given it to Krapistan, maybe, but to the Netherlands? Daft idea.
ReplyDelete"Or someone nicked the original?"
ReplyDeleteOr maybe they were just never there. The simplest explanations sometimes suffice, Dearieme. :)
Sore losers.
ReplyDeleteTo say they were never there is to give us too much credit. Our Nazi scientist thought we were nuts to man the space flights--in space, manning the technology is the most inefficient and therefore most expensive way to do things. Germans hate that. They were right.
The same type of thinking brought about the space shuttle. It was built for, at the very least, five times the cost of conventional rocketry--called big stupid rockets--because we could, and because sophisticated aeonautical industries would not be fully involved otherwise.
Obviously, you have not seen the fabulous golf courses built on the far side of the moon or you wouldn't be thinking this way.
Aargh, James, the simplest explanation is that they did go to the moon. Any other explanation requires 100,000 Americans keeping their gobs shut. Not likely.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe it cos everyone knows the moon is made of blue cheese.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of putting a special mark next to those posts where I don't really believe what I'm writing, just soze itz orl cleer like. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL James.
ReplyDeleteThere are 40 million Americans who don't think we went to the moon. My Grannie was one of them. 50 million who think Bush was in on 9-11.
ReplyDeleteIt's more difficult to make a joke than it once was. Pretty soon only the truth will be funny. Actually, it already is.
probably should put a /sarc in there James
ReplyDeleteHee hee.
ReplyDeleteYou don't understand - it's the first evidence that there used to be forests on the Moon.
