MyspaceI am surprised this hasn’t gotten more press coverage since this was released a few years ago. The rocks supposedly from the moon ended up actually being petrified wood when they were finally analyzed. Why is this a big deal? Well only because the lunar landing was the largest technical achievement by mankind. I have always been puzzled by the fact that no human being has ever been launched into space beyond 400 miles from earth (which is Space Shuttles altitude)…all except for the Apollo missions, they went on an astounding 500,000 mile roundtrip with 1969 technology. China, India, Japan, Russia…no other country has attempted that feat. China has said they’d like to plan a moon mission possibly between the years 2025 to 2030!
Why would we possibly lie about the moon landing? Consider the era. It was the height of the Cold War. The Soviets had launched a man into space earlier that year and people in the United States were terrified that the Soviets could launch missiles from space. I’m just saying: If the moon rocks are fake, what else about the Apollo missions were fake? Perhaps more important, why has mainstream media in the US ignored this? Thankfully we have truly independent sources such as our Santa Barbara Independent to get some real conversations going.

It's high time we reinvigorated the membership in the Flat Earth Society. Although my time is tight due to my obligations as President of the College of Psychic Surgeons, I will attempt to make the next meeting.
Hank n' bc, can one of you take the lead on this?

Mr. Bellamar suffers a common category error in his thinking, taking the discovery of one "fake" moon rock and applying it to all moon rocks collected by the Apollo missions.
A less sensational and more thorough contemporaneous report puts the history and disposition of the Rijksmuseum moon rock and other specimens into perspective:
"The real Dutch moon rocks are in a natural history museum. But the misidentification raised questions about how well countries have safeguarded their presents from Washington."

Repeat after Jeff: It never happened, IT never happened, IT NEVER happened, IT NEVER HAPPENED! Yeah, neither did 9/11, it was a plot by the Bush admin.
There, off my chest, now I can concentrate on other conspiracies.
Hey Jeff, psst, just so you know, THEY'E GOT A FILE ON YOU!
Ponder that 1 in your Earth is flat conspiracy mind. Not even gonna put smarts into this effort, as it is SO ludicrous.

I also have it on very high authority that many female breasts that I have casually observed may also be forgeries.
There is nothing left to truly believe in except conspiracies.

No one knows exactly when the earth was struck by a comet and that moon is indeed a piece of this planet? If this was a conspiracy then my dad was in on it. He helped build the guidance systems for Saturn and Apollo missions. The Van Allen belt problem for the Apollo navigators was solved by plotting a course through the thinnest parts of the belts and arranged for the spacecraft to pass through them quickly, limiting the exposure.
The fact that moon rocks were lost then recovered and then tested later shows a con here. Where are the real moon rocks?

Lots of people can spin an elaborate technical yarn. At least one science fiction author is living near you. As long ago as 1835, Edgar Allan Poe plausibly cleared all technical hurdles to lunar travel in a short story called
THE UNPARALLELED ADVENTURE
