Middendorf said Drees was 'quite taken with that little stone', iirc.
And Middendorf noted that he wasn't aware of it 'not being real, or anything'....
So what do you suppose he is talking about, then? ...
It doesn't make sense to say that Drees liked a little piece of stone, and say he didn't know anything about it being real or not, if he's not talking about the 'moon rock', here!!
A label is not needed, since it was, indeed, presented as a genuine 'moon rock', at the time... The label matches it, even so ...
You don't think it's meant to be a genuine rock, because they never gave genuine moon rocks out to anyone, at the time... so what??
It was given in a private ceremony, not in public.
So why is a little piece of stone mentioned by Middendorf, in the first place?
However, he says he doesn't know anything about that little stone as 'not being real'..
So, he must have believed it WAS real, since he knows nothing of it 'not being real'!!
This cannot be explained any other way, that's why you don't even try to...

Because someone specifically asked him about it.
Long, long after the fact.
Quite obviously, actually.
Which was not a moon rock, at all. It was petrified wood, in fact.
So called, by whom?
It was a deliberate fake, a so-called 'moon rock'.
Who are you not excusing?
It cannot be excused as anything else, but a fake moon rock, found many years later...

Which little stone? When? Does Middendorf say he gave it to him, or that he made any specific claims about it? Does Middendorf confirm anything at all in his interview about it?

Read the context of the quote and tell me with any certainty that he is referring to the moon rock, or the fossil. He is being called out of the blue by journalists and asked about something from nearly half a century before.
'Supposing' is not 'knowing', it is deciding on someone's behalf what they meant without actually having any facts involved.
It doesn't make sense to say that Drees liked a little piece of stone, and say he didn't know anything about it being real or not, if he's not talking about the 'moon rock', here!!
It doesn't make sense to call it a moon rock, because it never was and no-one ever said it was apart from a pair of artists for an exhibition. It doesn't make sense to put words into peoples' mouths based solely on an publicity for an art stunt and draw definitive conclusions from something so insubstantial.
A label is not needed, since it was, indeed, presented as a genuine 'moon rock', at the time... The label matches it, even so ...
It was not, no-one ever presented it as a moon rock, no moon rocks were being given out because they were still in quarantine at the time and Drees was not there during the goodwill visit.
You don't think it's meant to be a genuine rock, because they never gave genuine moon rocks out to anyone, at the time... so what??

Nope, didn't happen, you're making that up.
So why is a little piece of stone mentioned by Middendorf, in the first place?
Because some artists invented a story that journalists latched on to and asked him.
However, he says he doesn't know anything about that little stone as 'not being real'..
So, he must have believed it WAS real, since he knows nothing of it 'not being real'!!

I have more than tried to, I have explained it in full many times: this whole story is a fabrication by two Dutch artists for an art exhibition.
A business card and a fossil were placed next to each other by them, no-one else. No moon rocks were given out by the Apollo 11 crew, no moon rocks were give out by anyone on this visit, no rocks were given at all. No-one from NASA, or the US, ever made any claim that this was a moon rock. No-one from Drees' family has ever claimed it was a moon rock. If you have even the tiniest fragment of evidence that proves me wrong then now's your chance to provide it.

They had many reasons for faking it, back then, but aluminum was not considered yet, as it is today.
No contradiction.
Why is he recalling specific details of the event, if he was not involved in it?

so what reason did they have to fake it??
i remember one of your reasons was that they werent able to protect themselves from GCR's so they had to fake the moon landing.

No, I didn't say that. Look back at my posts, if you doubt me.
They had many reasons it couldn't be done, not just one.
We can't do it now, for many of the same reasons.
Are you aware of what the VAB probes recently discovered?
www.nasa.gov...
An impenetrable barrier surrounds the Earth. Or a 'nearly' impenetrable barrier, anyway.
The barrier is at the lower edge of the upper VAB.
What does that say about the Apollo 'moon landings', then?
And how about everything else we've (supposedly) sent out beyond the VAB, too?
originally posted by: turbonium1
I suppose Apollo avoided the impenetrable barrier which they had not discovered yet!
And every probe we've sent out beyond the VAB avoided it, too!
It's not impenetrable because... nobody knew it ever existed...as all the Apollo-ites know so well about this 'phenomenon'

oh did you really just go there??
dont tell me you think geostationary satellites are fake too??
How can a nearly impenetrable barrier exist, but is completely avoided, each and every time??
Miraculous, truly it is, no doubt!!

obviously because the probes that found this "impenetrable barrier" must have gone around it too right?? im going to have to save your quotes about this "impenetrable barrier" for later laughs.

Oh dear Lord I am pmsl.
You didn't even read that report did you?
It's impenetrable to electrons.
Not spacecraft.
Please do try and read things properly before you post them.

The probes didn't go around the barrier, they were in the lower VAB when it was spotted.
Next...
What are cells made of?
Electrons, for one thing, are part of every living cell.
The barrier is impenetrable to electrons, right?
Right.
