Poor guy. Getting between two sides in a PI$$ING contest is nowhere to be without some good rain gear.
I gather there was never any wildcatting on the moon then since a quick search doesn't reveal anything. Do you recall if V offered any suggestion about how far into the moon one would need to drill to determine whether or not there was a "steep temperature gradient"?
After some snooping around the web, I discovered there were some moon rocks showing magnetic "anomalies" that apparently gave scientists a case of the vapors. They didn't know what to make of it and to this day it seems there's still no consensus about the cause. "V" strikes again. ;^)
Re your 54
Someone I know pointed out to Schoch Davidovits geopolymerization model for the ancient Egypt synthesis of stone (faience, as well as the blocks used to construct the Giza pyramids), and he stated that he doesnt find it compelling. :)
That's seems to have come out of left field but I'll run with it. From my reading I don't recall but, did "V" propose such a thing re megalith construction? The truly remarkable construction that would appear to be good candidates are some of the pre-Incan structures in South America. AMAZING stuff that.
The geopolymerization thing pertained to Schoch, rather than V. :’)
