Yeah, I’ll give you that one. I’m not perfect.
What makes you think the "C" is on the rock rather than the photo, on which it is so nicely centered horizontally?
What you'll notice after some observation is that the ANGLE is different in each sub-image.
So effectively the image of North America is progressively smaller because of being taken at a different angle each time, further away from North America (but NOT significantly further away from the globe itself).
Never mind - just saw that the image is an extract from a larger photo.
I was open to NASA's explanation on the 'C', but your suggestion was not their answer. (By the way, only the cropping might make it appear centered.) I found the claim of it being a coil of hair when it could not have been wanting and convenient, inasmuch as it implicitly kept any original evidence from being scrutinized.
He also believes the Earth is flat (I thought he was joking) and that, of course, 9/11 was a gov’t conspiracy for the NWO.
Now, I DO believe there are Globalists who would like some sort of NWO (some hide in plain sight like GHWB) BUT I think certain folks took advantage of 9/11. They didn’t fly robotic airplanes full of passengers into the WTC, the Pentagon, etc.
The Russians said what, that they, too, received a piece of petrified tree instead of moon rock?
I’m trying, but I’m not seeing the other alterations that you speak of.
Finding the occasional straw of truth awash in a great ocean of confusion and bamboozle requires intelligence, vigilance, dedication and courage. But if we don't practice these tough habits of thought, we cannot hope to solve the truly serious problems that face us - and we risk becoming a nation of suckers, up for grabs by the next charlatan who comes along. -- Carl Sagan
Given that Sagan was an atheist in all but name, I find that quote of his rather amusing.
Yes sir, because what you're posting is quite ridiculous.
I'm actually doing you a favor.
I would probably understand such a person to have a kind of color-blindness and not worry much about it at all.
I collect meteorites and have a lunar meteorite, had two but sold one. I also have 8 pieces of Mars rock. They are small and not much to look at compared to some larger iron meteorites with good flight flow marks but there are only a handfull of people who own them (lunar and Mars rock) outside of govt and the scientific community.
How did you get one?
From a well known collector who was selling some small ones, I got 2 lunar. Same with the Mars meteorites, another collector.
The lunar meteorite mentioned in the article which is usually referred to as a moon rock was collected on the moon during an Apollo moon mission. They are much more valuable usually but not always than the lunar meteorites I bought, which were ejected from moon surface by a meteor strike, then captured by earth’s gravity and some of it usually just small pieces make it through earth’s gravity and land on surface. Same for the registered Mars meteorites.
The ones I bought are small pieces that fell off when they were being cut. But they still have value, sometimes they are very valuable.
The lunar and Mars pieces I have are all under 1 gram.
The moon rocks or pieces from or dust from are generally more valuable because they came back from a Apollo mission, they are not rarer geologically. Like a rare baseball card, few have them and collectors want them. I seem to remember Bill Clinton stole a moon rock from White House claims it was an oversight, figures huh?
Fascinating. I wonder what else you believe. Do you believe the Earth is flat? Do you believe in the existence of germs?
