The discovery of a fake moon rock in the Netherlands' national museum should be a wake-up call for more than 130 countries that received gifts of lunar rubble from both the Apollo 11 flight in 1969 and Apollo 17 three years later.

Lol. Would love to see if there are any more ‘fakes’.
The Rijksmuseum, more noted as a repository for 17th century Dutch paintings, announced last month it had had its plum-sized “moon” rock tested, only to discover it was a piece of petrified wood, possibly from Arizona.
And why not? That’s where they did the filming right?
Either that or petrified trees are on the moon.
Oh, now I got it, it’s not green cheeze it’s green trees.
Every man that who ever set foot there should have gotten one.
We got a fake prez...anything could happen...
I'll can sell you one for a great price.

Chandrayaan Sends Apollo 15 Landing Images

A camera on board India’s maiden unmanned lunar mission Chandrayaan-1 has recorded images of the landing site of US spacecraft Apollo 15, a scientist said today, rubbishing conspiracy theories that the fourth US mission to land on the moon four decades back was a hoax.
The Terrain Mapper Camera on board Chandrayaan-1, which had an abrupt end a few days back, has sent the prints of landing site of Apollo 15 and tracks of the lunar rovers used by astronauts to travel on lunar surface, a senior scientist associated with India’s lunar mission said during a presentation.
“The images captured by the hyper-spectral camera fitted as a part of Chandrayaan-1 image payload has reconfirmed the veracity of Apollo 15 mission,” said Dr Prakash Chauhan, who is a senior scientist with Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) Hyderabad-based space application centre.
Chauhan was presenting the findings of Chandrayaan-1 mission in his paper ‘Chandrayaan I: TMC and HYSI data analysis for Apollo landing sites and Mare Orientale’, which would be unveiled in public domain two months later, after further analysis.
“The Chandrayaan-1 images have disproved the theory of conspiracy which had claimed that the Apollo 15 was a hoax,” he said.
“Chandrayaan has managed to identify the landing site used by the Apollo 15 shuttle on the basis of the disturbances on the moon’s surface,” Chauhan said.
“Our images also show tracks left behind by the lunar rovers which were used by the astronauts to travel on the moon’s surface,” Chauhan said.
He said that since lunar dust is dark, the disturbances left behind by the spacecraft and the rovers are easily distinguishable.
“The disturbed surface is bright,” he added.
The scientist said Chandrayaan’s images are an independent corroboration that can help dispel doubts about the NASA mission.
However, Chandrayaan’s camera could not capture the images of footprint left behind by the first astronaut on moon, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, because of its low resolution capability, he said.
Chauhan said that such an image is possible for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, armed with a high-resolution camera, launched into space by NASA.

I bought one from a laid off NASA employee from Satellite Beach.
Have it on my mantle.
I think they’re now at Warehouse 13...

Cool. I’d never heard of Capricorn One. Looks like it gave O.J. early experience on how to con an entire nation....
OJ tried to tell us the truth AND THEY DESTROYED HIM FOR IT

That’s NOT the only story that’s fake. The US Government has been known to tell BIG lies.

Guess we should check the one given to my late husband. Had forgotten he got it until after he died and my daughter and I were going through some of his stuff.
