Hoagland is a lunatic.

Lunatics are common, but there's a tiny handful that have, at some point, a credible resume. They're the worst kind of kooks. Those guys can really make some money peddling books and such, though.

I didn’t get the impression that he really believed that this happened. He was just trying to imagine a way that Galileo could possibly have caused this spot, no matter how unlikely.

I think it was just a harmless mental excersize.

So, by describing him as a lunatic and kook it's easy to dismiss anything he says rather than having to refute his purported facts. He may be trying to make money from such speculation but I don't think he's a "KOOK".
