Who the hell knows what a moon rock is ?
NO country has taken pics that isn't NASA affiliated..
This is just ignorance, you didn't even bother reading your post or you'd see that I already preempted your point. People know what moon rocks are because they are geologists. Their whole expertise is in rock, pretty sure they'd realise if a rock came across their microscope that was entirely different to anything terrestrial.

We were discussing throwing an object vertically on the moon..
If you think gravity will not affect that equation then it is not me being arrogant..
I've shown that to throw a ball 6 times as high on the moon, which is the height we expect with 1/6 gravity, you need to have the same initial velocity on the earth and moon. Since F=ma, to get the same amount of speed out of a ball with 6 times the mass, you'd need to exert 6 times the force. If he could generate 6 times the force, that means he would be able to throw a regular baseball with 6 times the speed. But if he could do that, then he could throw the ball straight up to a height of over 22 km. We know that's not possible.

Here is Nat's post..
Where does he take into account the force of gravity being 1/6 ??

We would be polite with him until he started calling people dullards or idiots or 'apollo propagandists' etc. Just like we are with everyone else.
People are still polite to you Foos.

Then do the maths. Show us how we are wrong.
I'm pretty sure the qualifications I have in physics are still valid, and while I'm not about to go posting them, I did the simplest of calculations for you.
Now show how you'd change the calculations I linked to, to include the force of gravity. Perhaps you can show us how a ball that weighs the same on earth and the moon can both be accelerated to 100mph.
I doubt you can.
You'll notice that the height is 6 times as high on the moon, exactly as we'd expect. And the initial velocity of the ball was the same in both cases.

"They could not be generated on the earth".
Do you think that they dug the total recovered mass out from Antarctica? Do you have any evidence from someone with expertise to suggest this is accurate? Do you have any evidence at all or are you just speculating, then believing your own speculation over documented evidence ("they could not be generated on the earth").
It is possible to capture the pioneering legacy of the Apollo Space Program and solar system exploration by bringing the physical geology of lunar and meteorite studies into the classroom. Samples of lunar rocks (brought to Earth by Apollo astronauts) and meteorites are available on loan to certified educators for classroom use.

Get someone that actually knows math to talk please..

They didnt have to.
They only had to show to the world a small amount.
That small amount could have came from a meteorite.

Not only do I know this, I did the calculations you asked for on the last page.

If you think you understand physics, then why did you say this?

Why do you feel the forum rules don't apply to you? You ignore questions (including the latest from me still), you post videos with no context at all, you post one liners?
Your actions are rude, your tone is abrasive and your arrogance difficult to deal with. Still many people are polite to you, me included.

Force is a vector quantity. If you are moving sideways, gravity has a force vector of 0, unless you wish to take friction into account.

Ok so you don't actually have any evidence for this, it's just more speculation.
It's not really that convincing you know. Anyone can speculate. Maybe NASA got them by arranging for aliens to go pick them up for them. I'm sure I can find you many people on this site that would consider that plausible.
