      ​@@rumfordc How does that make any sense though? It would benefit the Soviets greatly to say "we were the first and only genuine cosmonauts, we sent out Yuri Gagarin before your faker Neil Armstrong" rather than weakly admitting that an American was the first one on the moon and even put up a flag of the USA there.
      It would've been great propaganda for the Soviets, to say that the Apollo 11 moon landing was faked, but they admitted it was real.
      Wonder what that says about the Statesians who refuse to believe it, despite the hundreds of people involved and all of the people who physically saw the rocket launch and all of the radio signals received from the moon by parties other than NASA.

    I watched Apollo 11 take off from Cape Kennedy (as it was then) and so I know that the launch part was absolutely real. There are people (including every last person running the service desk of my local hardware store) who mock me for believing that rockets can work in a vacuum, which they say proves that space flight is impossible, therefore the moon landings couldn't have happened. It's the old nonsense about "there's nothing for the exhaust to push against" and they just laugh if you try to explain about conservation of momentum because "that's book-learning, why would you believe those lies when your own common sense tells you it's wrong, you sheep?" Idiots!

      ​​​​@@entangledmindcells9359, what an excellent idea!
      It baffles me that people can understand the idea of exhaust pushing against something, an idea I've never heard of before, but not basic laws of physics. I struggled so badly in physics in school, but I still understood that bit. "An object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force," says Newton's first law of motion. How much more is actually needed? Maybe it works a bit differently than I imagine (like I said, I was terrible at physics), but common sense and that law combine to suggest that a rocket relies on the momentum it built up before exiting Earth's atmosphere to sustain flight in space. Even if that's wrong, it's still better than the idea of exhaust pushing on something. Come on, now, guys! (Not you guys of course; the idiot deniers, including the service desk folks)

      The fact is that they didn't land on the moon or anywhere near it. They would struggle to get there and back safely with today's technology (see space shuttle disasters some 34 years later). They faked it for two reasons. One - they wanted to beat the Russians. Two - the US Government had invested so much money in the space program that they could not risk failure. So, they filmed it in a studio. Aldrin, was challenged to swear on the Bible (that he had walked on the moon) and punched the guy asking him. If I am right, Neil Armstrong was offered $1000 for his chosen charity if he swore on the Bible. He failed to do it as well. The gormless sheep will believe any nonsense they get told. Case closed.

    There were six manned moon landings (Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17), not just one. Each mission brought a different pair of astronauts to the lunar surface; each mission required the launch of a huge and very expensive non-reusable and impossible-to-fake Saturn V rocket; each mission placed scientific instruments along the lunar surface and brought back to Earth ever-increasing quantities of lunar rocks; each mission was covered by the media and could be monitored from the ground by independent observatories and radio amateurs, including the Soviet ones. This is enough to close the debate and understand, once and for all, that man really went to the moon.

The resulting radiation exposure for the round trip was less than 1% of a fatal dosage - a very minor risk among the far greater other risks of such flights. I made such estimates in the early 1960s and so informed NASA engineers who were planning the Apollo flights. These estimates are still reliable. The recent Fox TV show, which I saw, is an ingenious and entertaining assemblage of nonsense. The claim that radiation exposure during the Apollo missions would have been fatal to the astronauts is only one example of such nonsense." Dr. James A. Van Allen.

      This:
      "[...] there is a tremendous reluctance among the American people to let go of the notion that we sent men to the Moon. There are a couple of reasons for that, one of them being that there is a romanticized notion that those were great years - years when one was proud to be an American. And in this day and age, people need that kind of romanticized nostalgia to cling to. But that is not the main reason that people cling so tenaciously, often even angrily, to what is essentially the adult version of Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. What primarily motivates them is fear. But it is not the lie itself that scares people; it is what that lie says about the world around us and how it really functions. For if NASA was able to pull off such an outrageous hoax before the entire world, and then keep that lie in place for four decades, what does that say about the control of the information we receive? What does that say about the media, and the scientific community, and the educational community, and all the other institutions we depend on to tell us the truth? What does that say about the very nature of the world we live in? That is what scares the hell out of people and prevents them from even considering the possibility that they could have been so thoroughly duped. It’s not being lied to about the Moon landings that people have a problem with, it is the realization that comes with that revelation: if they could lie about that, they could lie about anything. "

    It says a lot about the truncated nature of the Apollo Program that there's still threads to pick: had it been the first step in a continuous manned expansion into space, every detail would be preserved for its monumental importance; but it ended with little more than 'been there, done that, got the mission badge' and vital records were misplaced, lessons forgotten.

    • @yassassin6425
      @yassassin6425 2 месяца назад +1

      But there are no "threads to pick". The Apollo Programme is fully accountable and the scientific, technological, historical and independent evidence in support of its veracity, manifest. Those that "pick threads" are conspiracy theorists and their followers with no actual knowledge of spaceflight of the programme itself. Precisely what records were misplaced? What are you referring to?
      In respect of lessons learnt, I am in complete agreement. The siloed nature of NASA's management that contributed to the Challenger and Columbia disasters during the Space Shuttle Programme is a far cry from, and complete anathema to the open culture of communication engendered during Apollo. I also think that Project Artemis could heed much from the execution and the engineering philosophy associated with the Apollo Programme.

      The AGC was very compact and a brilliant piece of kit. What you people fail to understand is the fact that it was purpose-built, and did what was required incredibly well. It also could handle overloads by resetting itself without losing the instruction stack it had which was prewritten onto rope core memory, and would re prioritise those commands on the fly. IBM engineers also developed the mini integrated circuits that meant computers could be small enough to fit inside a rocket or spacecraft. It was a brilliant piece of technology for the time. You also likely had no idea that this was supported on the ground by the Real-Time Computer Complex (RTCC) which was an IBM computing and data processing system at NASA's Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston. It collected, processed and sent to Mission Control the information needed to direct every phase of an Apollo/Saturn mission. It computed what the space vehicle was doing and compared that with what it should be doing. RTCC worked in real-time -- so fast, there was virtually no time between receiving and solving a computing problem. IBM 7094-11 computers were used in the RTCC during NASA's Gemini program and on the first three Apollo/Saturn missions. Later, IBM System/360 Model 75J mainframes, plus peripheral storage and processing equipment, were employed. Two computers were used during a mission: one was primary; the other operated identically but as standby.

      Type 1 do not know much about science or the subject but when presented with scientific fact and evidence, can be reasoned with.
      Type 2 just aren’t very bright; they can’t work out who held a camera and why an astronaut looks bored at a press conference, and are easily taken in.
      Type 3 like to think that they have some sort of special insight that experts don’t have, and whatever evidence you present to them they will just dismiss it as impossible or lies, and the more you argue with them the more entrenched their views become, because for them it is a matter of belief.

      I have always been interested in the moon landings and space exploration in general; I was born in 1964 and by the early 1970’s I was the right age to get hooked into it. I have spent the intervening years studying the subject and have read many books and seen many interviews and documentaries. When this nonsense really started to gain traction around the Millennium I was intrigued by it, probably because as I say, I have always been interested in the subject and I have tried to analyse what is behind it.
      I have come to the conclusion that there are three types of conspiracy theorist:
      Type 1 do not know much about science or the subject but when presented with scientific fact and evidence, can be reasoned with.
      Type 2 just aren’t very bright; they can’t work out who held a camera and why an astronaut looks bored at a press conference, and are easily taken in.
      Type 3 like to think that they have some sort of special insight that experts don’t have, and whatever evidence you present to them they will just dismiss it as impossible or lies, and the more you argue with them the more entrenched their views become, because for them it is a matter of belief. I also suspect that a lot of this type know that the moon landings were real but get a perverse pleasure out of being bloody minded.

      JACK KNOPF By the time the LM was in the final phase of the landing it was in what was called helicopter mode. The engine is throttled way back and the LM is upright moving horizontally. So it is never over one place for any length of time. You do see the surface dust being blown in the film footage. Then there are the 3 probes sticking out the bottom of 3 of the landing pads. As soon as one of those touched the surface the engine stopped and the LM drop the last about 5-6 feet. So the engine is throttled back, the LM is moving horizontally so no concentrated blasting of one point on the surface. Below the surface dust was some pretty solid rock. Thus no crater.

To suggest that moon landing fakery could remain a secret for decades in a society like the USA beggars belief. Yes, I know there are one or two people who claim to have been in on it - but such a fake would have involved dozens or even hundreds of people directly, plus the thousands of people at NASA and its contractors all on the project in some way.

    This is a short history of why the Lunar Missions stopped in 1972. Also why it is taking so long to get back.
    Congress started cutting NASA's budget even before NASA got to the moon. 1966 was NASA's biggest budget year. They got approximately 4.6% of the U.S. G.D.P.. This is while they were still building the infrastructure for Apollo and they hoped an infrastructure to get them beyond the moon to Mars by 1981-2.
    After 1966 NASA's budget went on a steady decline. Originally the first phase of Lunar Exploration was to go to Apollo 20. NASA had built in the infrastructure for a continuous supply of CSMs LMs and SaturnVs. Plans were in the works for upgraded CSM, LMs and SaturnVs. NASA even built prototype pressurized LRVs for use on planned Lunar Colonies. There were plans for more then 1 Skylab as a stepping stone for larger Space Stations. Original plans for the Space Shuttle were for a much more elaborate system to ferry astronauts and equipment to and from the ever expanding Space Stations. They were even looking at plans for making the Saturn V's first and second stages recoverable and reusable. Originally Launch Complex 39 was to have 5 launch pads. Then it got cut to 3, then only 2 were built. They built 3 mobile launch towers, but only 2 were ever used.
    All the working plans and proposals are still there to be seen. With NASA’s budget being cut after 1966, bit by bit NASA’s ambitious plans started to dwindle. After Apollo 11 it was planned to have 4 Apollo launches a year till Apollo 20. This soon got cut to 2 per year and at the same time Apollo 20 was cancelled. In late 1970 future contracts to build more Apollo CSMs, LMs and Saturn Vs were cancelled. The remaining 5 CSM: 3 would be used for Skylab of which there would only be 1 Skylab now. One CSM was planned for the then hopeful Apollo Soyuz mission and the last CSM(now in a museum) was modified to hold 5 people as a potential rescue mission for Skylab crews. One of the remaining three SaturnVs would be used to launch Skylab, the last two are now museum pieces.
    NASA’s budget continued to get cut and along with it Space Shuttle kept being scaled back from what NASA wanted. In 1975 NASA started to redo Pad 39A for the coming Space Shuttle. But NASA kept begging to get Apollo going again and maintained Pad 39B for Apollo and tried to maintain as much of the Apollo infrastructure and talent as they could. But by 1977 it was clear Apollo was dead. So NASA let the Apollo infrastructure and talent atrophy away.
    Through the terms of Regan, Bush, Clinton, Bush and Obama, NASA was pushed and pulled in many directions with start and stop goals given and taken away. All of them with plans to return to the moon. Bush 2 laid out the most promising plan for a return to the moon in 2004 with the Constellation Program. It called for a return to the moon before 2014. In 2010 Obama cancelled Constellation after a lot of money and effort had been spent. All with budgets nothing like the had in 1966. The current Artemis plans which rose out of the ashes of Constellation are 12 years old and moving at a snails pace on a shoestring budget. Another reason it is taking so long.
    Go look up NASA’s plans and dreams. Would have been amazing had they been allowed to carry on. NASA was thinking exploration, human expansion and potential research science and resources to gain. The government thought, beat the USSR and not much more.

      One of the reasons it’s taking so long now, all the very real dangers of radiation exposure while passing through the Van Allen belts. Plus the need to pay greater attention to the risks of micro meteors, and the razor sharp lunar dust, which can easily rip through flimsy space suits. It seems unlikely that under current Health and Safety legislation, the original Apollo missions would have been allowed to go ahead. Although I am basing that assumption on British Health and Safety, not American, of which I know very little.

The Artemis missions will tend to be a lot longer. Orion's 2 flights through the belts show that Orion is good to go through the belts. but the longer term exposure to deep space radiation is a bigger problem. Thus the sensored up mannequins in Orion on Artemis 1. Orion seems to be protected well enough that the next flight will be crewed.
      The Apollo spacesuits were anything but flimsy. Again for missions the length of Apollo there worked very well. But again it will be the long term effect of the lunar dust on suits in longer missions that seem to be the issue.

      Research the subject. The surface camera was modified to be used with gloves. The shutter speed was fixed at 1/250th of a second and the ISO rating of the film was calculated to properly expose the surface of the moon. The astronauts had a limited choice of aperture (f5.6, f8 & f11 depending on whether they were shooting down-sun, cross-sun or into shadow) and a choice of near, medium or far focus. The camera was fitted with a wide-angle lens to help with framing and had a larger than normal shutter release and an aiming arrow or paddle on the top of the lens barrel. The astronauts also trained extensively with them, even taking them on holiday. There are hundreds of over-exposed, under-exposed, out-of-focus, motion-blurred and poorly framed photos in the archive. Most of the photos you find in the NASA archive have been brightened and colour-balanced for publication. The famous ‘Man on the Moon’ photograph of Aldrin by Armstrong shows a clear tilt at the horizon, portions of the spacesuit are significantly over-exposed and there is clearly only one light source that is obviously at a large distance.

      If you use a tight aperture, then the depth of field i.e. the range of distances that are in acceptable focus, gets larger. This is why your phone camera typically has almost everything in focus beyond 3 feet or so. The widest aperture on the moon camera was 5.6, which is still fairly tight. The astronauts were also trained in judging distances by eye, and the camera lens was marked with distances they could set it to to get good focus. Almost every camera you can swap lenses on has this feature, especially in the medium format realm. Most lenses even have markings to show how wide the depth of field is for a given aperture. Some street photographers use this 'zone focusing' method because it is quick, allows you to not worry about nailing focus and still get good results.
      It was a situation of 'Bright scene, so tight aperture. Eh.... 25 feet?' Set the focus distance, hold it where you think you've got it in frame with a generous buffer on each side and press the shutter and hope for the best. Then do that hundreds of times. You'll get some crap images, but you can get amazing images as well.

      Er - right. Appreciating that "research" does not involve self-proclaimed overnight armchair 'expertise' following a squandered evening consuming junk You Tube videos, cherry picked click bait confirmation bias, quote mining, false equivalence and circular self-referencing pseudoscientific conspiracy websites, do feel free to share - how precisely did you do yours?
      Firstly, heat and temperature are two different things. Heat is concerned with thermal energy, whereas temperature describes molecular kinetic energy. Heat is the transfer of thermal energy, whereas temperature is a property the object exhibits and describes the motion of molecules. Since the moon is essentially a vacuum there are very few of these to be excited So temperature is essentially a measurement of how excited air molecules are. The higher the temperature, the more frenzied molecules become and the more they bounce off each other-and this interaction between particles is what creates heat. The surface of the moon is virtually a vacuum. There are very few particles, and what particles are present are spaced far apart. This is why temperature is meaningless. In the absence of an atmosphere there is no convection whilst conduction is limited. Therefore the main source of thermal energy transfer is radiative heating from the sun - and the film was shielded from this. The temperature extremes that you mention are surface temperatures - extremes. Objects take time to build up to their equilibrium temperature and the length of the lunar daytime is 15 earth days. This is why all of the Apollo moon landings were timed to coincide with the lunar dawn. The temperatures that you mention were never experienced.
      Contrary to your claims, Hasselblad *_did_* significantly adapt and modify their 500EL cameras for the Apollo missions by removing the viewfinder, modifying the shutter, replacing the usual plastic black outer surface with reflective silver body, the internal plastics were removed and using special lubricants resistant to vacuum and high temperatures. They also collaborated with Zeiss to produce a custom lens for the lunar cameras. The lens couldn't be used on a regular camera because Hasselblad removed the mirror mechanism and the viewfinder, The moderate speed and low sensitivity film types that were used were well protected. In fact, the camera films were doubly protected as they were in custom built aluminium and steel magazines that were a lot thicker than the standard Hasselblad ones. Also, as explained, heat transfer is not significant in the absence of convection.
      Regarding the film itself in more detail - firstly radiation. X rays, which can be destructive to film vary in their energy. By way of example, a CT scanner will be 60KV, and airport baggage scanner 80KV - where in comparison the radiation produced by the sun is less than 5KV. Anything less than 10KV can't penetrate anything greater than 1mm of aluminium. 5KV can be stopped by a piece of paper. Kept within a metal container, the X rays from the sun simply weren't strong enough to damage the film. The only time that they would present a risk to film is during a solar flare/CME/SPE - and in that scenario, the main concern would have been the safety of the astronauts. The radiation dosage for a year on the moon is between 110 mSv and 380 mSv. On Earth, that dosage is 2.4 mSv, or higher, depending on where you are exactly. Bottom line, the few days in Lunar orbit and on the surface would have aged the film due to radiation between 50-150 days/ day in orbit maximum, thus it would be the equivalent of film that was aged a few years at most. The environment at the Moon is more likely to have high energy effects, and there actually *_are_* signs of radiation in some of the images, if you look carefully.
      Regarding vacuum. A fallacious and flawed experiment found on the conspiracy website Aulis and frequently shared and referenced by conspiracy believers attempted to demonstrate the effect of this upon the film used by the Apollo missions...except is wasn't. The Kodak ektachrome used E-100 is off the shelf, whereas Apollo used ektachrome EF (S0168) and ektachrome MS (S0368) both of which were developed expressly for use in space utilising different emulsions due to higher UV and eliminate blue haze. In the 'experiment', the E-100 film was tested in a vacuum chamber for four days, before being pressurised and then a vacuum again. Yet if we take Apollo 11, the film would only have been in a vacuum for the duration of the EVA, which was around two and a half hours. The longest total EVA was Apollo 17 at 22 hrs for the three performed. The experiment also neglected to contain the film. The heat extremes that it was subjected to were as explained, never experienced. They also used the E6 process to develop the film as opposed to the E3 process used by NASA and ignored the fact that a calibration chart was used for adjustment at the end of the process, to correct for issues with the colour. The conclusion of the experiment actually illustrates that the colour shift was compromised not due to vacuum itself as they claim, but pressurisation cycling between a vacuum and atmospheric pressure and extreme heat which the Apollo film never experienced. Also, the LM and CM were pressurised by pure oxygen to 4.7 psi as opposed to the 14 psi nitrogen/oxygen that we experience on earth. The most absurd thing about this 'experiment' is that is was conducted by three people - the ludicrous self-appointed 'Apollo Detectives'. They set out to prove that film won't survive in a vacuum - but when you factor in all of their inaccuracies, it proves exactly the opposite.
      It sounds like you've mistaken watching a Gary Fong video on You Tube for actual research.

      Yawn. The usual claptrap from the Cult of Willful Ignorance. The moon rotates about once every 28 earth days, relative to the sun. 14 earth days are spent in daylight and 14 in darkness. It takes several days of sun to warm the lunar surface from the low of nearly 300 degrees below to 32 degrees, and another 7 or 8 days to reach the 200 degree mark. The astronauts always landed while the temperatures were still below freezing and left long before the temperatures became dangerous.

      There is no atmosphere on the Moon to efficiently ‘bind’ lunar surface heat to devices that are not in direct contact with it. The camera film was derived from the ones used for high-altitude photo reconnaissance, which were designed to withstand temperatures from 490°F down to - 40°F, and they were housed in aluminium magazines covered with reflective passive optical coatings. The radiation exposure level on the Moon from the distance of space was not enough to damage the film. It was much less than that of an airport x-ray machine’s direct radiation from a distance of less than a few feet. It had the same effect equivalent to leaving the film on a shelf for six months on Earth. And, in 1969, film was often left on shelves for far longer in many cases and still used. Furthermore, there are signs of radiation contamination in some of the images, if you look carefully; for example, lines running through the film, bright spots and a decrease in contrast and colour response. These effects are not easily detectable to the untrained eye and without access to the original material.

    Two examples of why we never went to the moon:
    One.
    It’s impossible to have a vacuum (space), next to a pressurised system (the earths atmosphere) without a physical barrier separating the two. This is a law of physics and cannot be broken (and don’t give me any rubbish about the ‘theory’ of gravity being able to magically side-step the fundamental laws of physics).
    Two.
    If we somehow in someone’s dream did manage to break the above law of physics, how is it possible for a man in a pressurised space suit to remain and look perfectly normal as though standing on earth when he is in a vacuum? The suit would expand like a balloon and he would look like an over inflated Michelin Man. The astronauts look like they are just walking across a park in their Sunday best - no sign of any effects of a pressurised suit fighting against the 100% vacuum of ‘space’.
    The only people who believe we went to the moon are those that have never bothered to look beyond what their governments and propaganda arms (TV and news papers, etc), tell them.
    QI, in this instance, is the perfect example of this. The renowned brain box, Mr Fry, is here telling you why we went to the moon without having any means of backing up his comments other than hearsay from other sources.

      The whole "vacuum next to a pressurized system" argument does nothing more than display your sheer and utter ignorance of how the Earth's atmosphere works.
      The reason the air on Earth is under pressure is due to gravity. The closer you are to the surface, the more air there is weighing down on you - thus creating a greater pressure. The higher up you go, the less and less air particles there are to weigh down, so the pressure decreases. It decreases gradually more and at some point, you are virtually above all the air molecules. It's not like there is a vacuum directly adjacent to an atmosphere pressurized to 14.7 psi. That's not how it works. You're just embarrassing yourself.

      Your 'points' are simply ill-informed nonsense or pure conjecture on your part whether I or anyone else debunks them. On the subject of which, I addressed and summarised all of the content of your post, so let's see shall we?
      Firstly you claimed it is impossible to have the vacuum of space next to the Earth's atmosphere, so from that I conclude that you are one of these deranged space deniers and flat earthers. In response, I asked you to account for the decrease in pressure with altitude. You failed to do so, so that's that.
      Secondly, you asked how it is possible for anyone in a pressurised suit to "look normal" (whatever that means) insisting that "he would look like an over inflated Michelin Man". I pointed out to you that would not be the case as the A7Ls were only pressurised to 3.7psi (4.2psi current suits). I'd hardly call that "over inflated" would you?
      You then insisted that "the only people who believe we went to the moon are those that have never bothered to look beyond what their governments and propaganda arms (TV and news papers, etc), tell them." To clarify again, in addition to entire branches of science and specialist fields/disciplines worldwide, the Apollo missions have also been examined with forensic detail by historians and investigative journalists whilst also bearing scrutiny from individual nations, independent third parties and each of the 76 other space agencies. In short, areas of expertise and individuals far more accomplished, skilled and clever than a random, insignificant, gullible conspiracy junkie that thinks that consuming and regurgitating junk online conspiratorial crap over the comments section of You Tube makes him sound significant, informed and knowledgeable.
      Finally, you absurdly stated that Stephen Fry is unable to qualify his comments in spite of the fact that they are all independently verifiable, You then went on to say that part of his job is to make sure that people don't know the truth for which you have zero evidence in support of, so as the one making the claim, the burden of truth is incumbent upon you, not me.
      Should you need any further clarification, then do not hesitate to ask.

      That's been addressed before; the amount of radiation the astronauts experienced passing through the VAN ALLEN belt was measured to be 0.18 rads total (each mission had different results with the highest around 1.14 rads). Lethality happens at +1 sievert (1 rad = 0.01 Sievert). So the radiation was limited because they chose a path through a weaker (lets call it thinner) part of the VAB. Also, remember, that exposure to radiation of +1 sievert ALL AT ONCE is lethal. The Astronauts experienced an accumulation of radiation much lower and that was exiting Earth, returning to Earth (both through the VAB) and not to mention all those solar particles once they were no longer shielded by Earth's magnetic field.

    What people dont get is that the footage they see are clips of hours long footage with 1000s of photos over the course a few hrs on the surface. However, the actual footage were really long. The benefit of filming movies is filming short shots and retakes. The actual footage is very long but has been edited for news programs and documentaries. If they faked it they had to do all the staged effects over long shots, which is borderline impossible. It would have been hard to fake it than to actually go, lol.

      Look at the little details, like how dust behaves in a vacuum. Example: the neat parabolic arcs thrown up by the rover wheels.
      Another example: look carefully at the exhaust as the LEM lands--how all the dust is being blown radially out in straight lines from directly under the descent rocket.
      On Earth, in an atmosphere, the dust would form billowing clouds that hang in the air for minutes at least. On the Moon, in a vacuum, it all falls to the ground as quickly as any rock.

      @@RedSampler No. Here is the story of your "petrified wood":
      In 1969, US Ambassador J. William Middendorf II gave a specimen of petrified wood to former Dutch Prime Minister Willem Drees Jr. This was a personal gift, not an official act of the US government.
      In 1970, the Nixon Administration presented the Dutch government with samples of lunar rock and a small Dutch flag that had been carried on the Apollo 11 mission. These were housed in the Rijksmuseum Boerhaave (Dutch National Museum for the History of Science and Medicine) located in the city of Leiden.
      When Drees died in 1988, the sample of petrified wood was donated to the Rijksmuseum (Dutch Museum of Arts and History) in Amsterdam. The curators there failed to do their due diligence, and the petrified wood was labeled as a moon rock. Note that this is a different museum in a different city.
      When the error was discovered in 2009, most of the news media jumped on the story without any background investigation. The conspiracy nuts all seized upon this tale, because it fit so neatly into their collective paranoia.
      Today, if you go to the Rijksmuseum Boerhaave in Leiden, you can still see the actual lunar rocks, right where they have been since 1970.
