“I did it for love” Oh please. That explanation flew out of the window when they said he started planning it BEFORE he met the girl. He was greedy, plain and simple.
What he did to Dr. Gibson was deplorable. Years of his research gone. I’ve seen the video of Gibson testifying on the stand, holding back his tears over what was genuinely stolen from him! Thad received extra departures (more years added to sentence) for the action of stolen research books alone. These were to help Gibson publish a book. I don’t feel sympathy for Thad. Don’t fall for the cheap charm and slick charisma. There are a lot of bright students who come from shitty childhoods and wouldn’t steal national treasures that belong to all of us! Congratulations to Axel Emmerman, FBI, NASA Police and all authorities for apprehending this crook. He took up a space from someone who wanted to be there and wouldn’t make it about themselves.
He was my host brother during our senior year at Clearfield High School in Clearfield, UT (class of '95); I was an exchange stundent at the time. We. were in the swim team together and we ate standing side by side in that yearbook picture. To me That was a sweet and gentil soul. His father was EXTREMELY ABUSIVE with the kids, so I had no choice but to contat the exchange student program to find me another family, as that I became afraid that he was going to do the same thing to me! Years later, while he was still married to his first wife, who was also a friend of minr, we met, they came for a visit, we went to the U of U observatory and I had a chance to see through the eyes of this very powerful telescope the surface of the mon like never before, it was AWESOME !!!!! A few years later I found out about the whole NASA thing but was neither ashamed nor mad at him or surprised, considering the fact that he came from a very disfunctional family! We finally connected last year and I was very pleased to know that he is married with a very sweet woman (we chat on the mobile as well) and that he did not give up his dream. :)
I just finished the book detailing the heist.. Your description of his family life explains a lot. He may be on a perpetual quest to feel like he is enough.
I can't stop laughing at his stupidity... but at some point I pity him for not being properly look after by his parents... He's seriously a troubled person looking for attentions, and I don't think his parents ever gave him enough of that when he was young...
Making love on the moon 🌙 rocks........ What people do for love........ I’ve done many dramatic things for the girl of my life. We all have been over the moon 🌙 in love. If you haven’t been yet, you will one day! Cheers 🥂
I warn all you thieves, which is over 90% of you, a motive is not an excuse. Excuses are like assholes; everyone's got one. I admit integrity is worth nothing in our society, but that's a motive not an excuse as well.
Like I’m watching this video and he’s explaining this kind of higher dimensional geometric structure that ties together all of the constants of the universe in this crazy beautiful symmetry and he mentions off hand about doing physics in prison. I look him up and woah he’s kind of my hero now lol
I guess it's kind of like international waters... ever consider the Antarctic treaty... every country wants a piece of it... the Third Reich claimed it a long time ago... how come nobody's ever tried to claim the Moon I mean we went up there we put the flag there.... so is that like the 51st state or what???? .. if I start a colony on the moon.... is the United States going to impose a stamp act on my colony... like Great Britain did to the original 13 colonies.... in 2002 like a hundred grams of moon rocks were stolen... they were valued at 21 million dollars.... do you seriously believe in this day and age we can't send an unmanned probe to the Moon... have it scoop up 20 lb of moon rocks and return.... just think about it in 2002. 100g. According to United States government has a value of 20 million dollars.... and nobody holds the mineral rights to the Moon..... do you honestly think that Russia the next closest.. to us in the space race and whom we depend upon now to get people back and forth from the shuttle..... would not have gone and brought back more I mean it's the most precious material known to mankind according to the United States government... But in 2002... the Johnson Space Station was basically storing them in filing cabinet????? I mean what the hell it didn't cost them 50 million dollars a day....!!!!
Thad may have the basis for a Grand Unified Theory, in 11-dimensional space with quantized space as a superfluid. A most unusual and most interesting view of the universe's structure, and the constants in it. I hope he gets into space one day.
I am embarrassed for his family. I know they must feel they raised him better. He is so bold now to be a public speaker. I wouldn't trust him for a hot second.
One guy who knows him in the comment section said he came from a dysfunctional family, his father is abusive to his children, blah blah. But yeah that was embarrassing.
No sample of NASA moon rock has ever been shown (or even suspected) of being "petrified wood". You have fallen for a conspiracy scam. Let that sink in.
I just read the book too. Thought it pathetic the way he mooned over Rebecca, though sad that all his letters to her were returned unopened. How he thought of the theft as just a prank was childish.
interviewed Thad last spring, probably the brightest man I've ever spoke to. Very philosophical and inspirational. I'm really shocked how rude this interviewer is..
Yeah and NASA lost all of the Moon landing telemetry data. All the proof that we went to the Moon. And they still haven't figured out "what happened to it". Because we never did.
Yea, and I think he stole my ideas about visualizing 11 dimensions, but I don't care, he's doing a great job presenting the material. For more see my "unTED talks"
ust for your information, over 500 rock and soil samples are released by the Lunar Sample Laboratory Facility at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas every year to scientists and organizations who wish to study lunar geology. At this stage literally tens of thousands of geological experts from all over the globe have examined the samples, published their findings and verified their origin as lunar. Take care.
“I did it for love” Oh please. That explanation flew out of the window when they said he started planning it BEFORE he met the girl. He was greedy, plain and simple.
In prison we called him Moondizle. He taught me how to play piano. He is different but a nice person.

Love it. “A crime is a crime.” With that a “cheater is a cheater.”

I support this poor guy

Man actually lust not love.
He did it for love. The love of money.
I can't stop laughing at his stupidity... but at some point I pity him for not being properly look after by his parents... He's seriously a troubled person looking for attentions, and I don't think his parents ever gave him enough of that when he was young...
Very poetic Thad, letting your weanie do your thinking for ya.
Making love on the moon 🌙 rocks........

I stumbled across Thad’s RUclips channel the other day and honestly the theoretical physics stuff he’s working on is mind blowing.
Like I’m watching this video and he’s explaining this kind of higher dimensional geometric structure that ties together all of the constants of the universe in this crazy beautiful symmetry and he mentions off hand about doing physics in prison. I look him up and woah he’s kind of my hero now lol
What a strange guy!
"Then on the 33rd anniversary if the first moon walk"...
"IT WAS MORE OF A SYMBOLOC THING THAT WE WERE DOING"
For this with eyes to see...
See no evil, Hear no evil, Speak no evil.
And all of life is a stage....
Who gave NASA permission to take them from the Moon?
Exactly
Tom Cruise.

@@supabadforever9532 what????
R u serious??? Or tjust bullshittin
I just finished reading the book about this today (Sex on the Moon). Really good story. It's cool to see the faces of these guys.

He was my host brother on my exchange student program CHS class of '95

The first human to have sex on moon rocks damn
He did it for love?? He did it for money and just got freaky in the meantime. Did he steal the fossils from his last internship for love too?
It was petrified wood from Earth let that sink in
The moon landing was fake as fuck
No sample of NASA moon rock has ever been shown (or even suspected) of being "petrified wood". You have fallen for a conspiracy scam. Let that sink in.
I mean it sounds like what he did was out of this world 🌎
My buddy Coby Taylor and I read this book, "Sex On The Moon" and it was interesting and well written.
+thewordnow William Cooper proved the Moon landings were faked. Check it out!
I just read the book too. Thought it pathetic the way he mooned over Rebecca, though sad that all his letters to her were returned unopened. How he thought of the theft as just a prank was childish.
book is amazing
Is he the one who talks about eleven dimensions in TED ?
newbieisback Yes.
This guy is awesome!
interviewed Thad last spring, probably the brightest man I've ever spoke to. Very philosophical and inspirational. I'm really shocked how rude this interviewer is..
Damn Mo. Really putting it all out there about
That was an epic devious lick
At the end he says I want to find a way to go to space.... just call 1 800 Russia.... that's what NASA does!!!
Man CBS loves space
Imagine if the girl rejected him
Thad was VERY easily p-whipped.
Yeah and NASA lost all of the Moon landing telemetry data. All the proof that we went to the Moon. And they still haven't figured out "what happened to it". Because we never did.
Their claim is that they erased 45 of the tapes to reuse them
Sounds ridiculous. Who erases the proof
what a waste
Make this a movie.
The book calls her Rebecca!
"FOR LOVE" sure jan
we can see Craters from my American Binaculers ,, no need for powerful telescope ,, i seen a Mermade floating in some sea of tranquility ,,,
Out of this world sex move 🤣😂
WTF ?!
read tags
O and a party rock
i hitch hike from Michigan to Kentucky for my HS girlfriend in 1980 - while both of us in college,, that was stupid enough,,,who cares. ,,
Cheater
Yea, and I think he stole my ideas about visualizing 11 dimensions, but I don't care, he's doing a great job presenting the material. For more see my "unTED talks"
The moon rocks were fake anyways. lol
ust for your information, over 500 rock and soil samples are released by the Lunar Sample Laboratory Facility at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas every year to scientists and organizations who wish to study lunar geology.
