Sample Bag 196 was opened on Wednesday night. The Genesis Rock was NOT in Sample Bag 196. Switcher-oo.

I am rather concerned about the recent "moon rock" posts. I.e., why am I seeing postings here that make it seem as though there really were rock specimens having been returned to the earth from the moon? Perhaps you all should instead be talking about already existing meteorites found right here on planet earth that were used to pose as moon rocks and/or Werner Von-Brauns several visits to the Antartic in search of earth meteorites and earth rocks suitable for the "rock ruse"- no?
There were no astronauts on the moon! So how can anyone here surmise that non-existent moon walkers brought such things back with them?edit on 24-6-2012 by Vitruvian because: spell
Vitruvian, what do you think of the newspaper articles? How does it all add up to you, Vitruvian?
I think the entire moon rock episodes - all of them - were made up of fraudulent images, faked news and other journalism stories, and invented conversations. Call this particular aspect of the fraud the mythical quest for the (missing) Genesis Moon Rock - and even the so-called replica of it that Scott allegedly carried with him all of the time is also fake.
You are welcome to believe that as an article of faith. Incidentally, they later found rocks even older than the "Genesis Rock."

..............As I understand things an article of faith may be defined as a very basic belief not to be doubted: usually within the context of a strongly held belief or a set of beliefs often found in religious creeds, that frequently begin with something like "We (I) believe...", which attempt to more or less define the fundamental theology of a given religion. But, my remarks and the understanding that underpins them are grounded in diligent research within the framework (not necessarily spiritual) of a consistent pursuit of truth, so I am of the mind that your use of said religious terminology does not appy in this case, and in fact falls well short of the mark as to the intentions of this OP

In that case, you're simply wrong. I will defer to your rejection of science based on your religious beliefs, judging by the Adam Kadmon you are currently using as your avatar. On the other hand, if you expect anyone to believe you have done diligent research into aerospace engineering, celestial mechanics, space science, selenology, historiography or even one of the myriad disciplines necessary to form a negative evaluation of the historical record, I'm afraid they won't believe you any more than they believe Dr. Tea Stoked Decisively.

Wow. You need to do some research into your basic beliefs.
I smile - preferring to rely on ordinary common sense, a strong intuition, and an education in the arts, philosophy, language(s) and theology

theres nothing wrong with relying on common sense and intuition.. but you cant rely solely on it.

Rather than to disparage the notion of common sense and a good intuition - You would do well to be mindful of the value of COMMON SENSE - A STRONG INTUITION coupled with a good education.to back them up.edit on 25-6-2012 by Vitruvian because: edit

The astronauts consistently claimed that the color of the moon's surface varied depending upon the angle of the sunlight striking it, and the angle of observation as well. So why is this never reflected in the photos that we are shown ?
