Plus, a significant amount of ATS discussions are purely speculative. No one has a "better" opinion than anyone else. Its all theoretical, and without any contradictory proof, remains such. Therefore, we can all have varying opinions, an accurate example of which can be seen in this exchange:

Well, Mr. Lear has explicitly stated as fact some information, which is demonstrably absolute nonsense (specifically, that the moon has a significant (and even breathable) atmosphere).
I assume you haven't been to the moon yfxxx. Neither have I. So your opinion is as demonstrably absolute nonsense as mine.

Other than a scientific illiterate as you, I don't have to go to the moon to find out facts about it! For a start, it's in plain sight a lot of the time. A small telescope + some spectrography equipment (affordable even for private enthusiasts) is all you need to show that there is no breathable atmosphere on the moon.

DarkBlueSky,
Well it does fit, if you take the rest of his theories into consideration, such as the idea that we or someone, has been up there mining Helium 3 and creating glass structures for decades, at the very least, and the biproducts are water in the form of steam and oxygen. Many pictures of the moon show cloud-like, smoky, layers over the surface, which would suggest they've succeeded in creating a layer of atmosphere, close to the surface, composed of oxygen and clouds composed of steam, mist, fog.

And exactly how would this solve the problem of crater erosion - something which would definitely happen in a dense atmosphere, but obviously hasn't happened?

Yes. The moon is not invisible, you can see lots of craters on it. Look through a telescope. If there is an observatory in your vicinity, go there when they have a "public viewing night". You'll see that all the impact craters have sharply defined features. Also, look near the edges of the moon's disk: the view doesn't get "fuzzy" or "hazy" there, and that's by itself a sign that there is no significant atmosphere there. Same for the "terminator" (the border between the light and the dark side of the moon) - it's not the least fuzzy.
I don't have to believe anything, if I can see it with my own eyes.
So, back to my question: How would that what you said (about the "He-3 mining" etc.) explain the lack of crater erosion on a moon with a dense atmosphere?

Well....i would disagree but instead of debating will just refer you to the post you had earlier in the thread about John's breath.

Well do you believe your own eyes when you see pictures from the surface that are obviously showing clouds ? there must be an explanation besides denying the pictures are depicting clouds, when they obviously are depicting clouds/fog/banks of steam/dust and so on. i've also seen a pic of the moon where it does have an atmosphere. it's a thin atmosphere, but an atmosphere none-the-less. you think in absolutes. it's either gotta be all one way or the opposite. but there are always variations inbetween extremes.

Obviously? If it were obvious, you would not have skeptics rolling their eyes. If you're referring to the photos you posted earlier....the only obvious quality of those photos is "blurry". This also perfectly points out the lack of variations between some extremes. Can something be legitimately described as "kind of" obvious? Or "sort of" obvious. I can't think of anything that's "a little bit" obvious. It is, or is not, obvious.

Ok, forget it. I'm sorry to have stepped into your world. Believe what you want ... see what you want ... I don't care. Be it clouds on the moon, forests on Mars, swimming pools on Titan, tyrannosaurs on Saturn ... whatever, see it and believe! Be an enlightened True Believer , and not a stupid, ignorant, closed-minded, arrogant, smart-*ss scientist like me! If I'm so blind that I don't see all the weird and wonderful artifacts on the moon, it's all my own fault! If I insist to rather follow old-fashioned un-spiritual "scientific laws", instead of going forward to new and exciting worlds where anything goes, you shouldn't care! Leave me (and other all too "rational" persons) behind, when you explore the unknown and find The Truth. I don't deserve anything better than dying one day as a dumb and assimilated "sheep", which never caught so much as a glimpse of the vast and wonderful world around it! Take care, and when you look at that giant soul collector on the moon, think of me as one of the poor souls which will never get there because they weren't worth it.
Best regards, and May The Force Be With You

undo, the picture has been goofed with. I don't care if its only had the pretty sepia tone added....bottom line is...someone has played around with the photo. Now, its worth 'bupkus' as evidence. "Evidence" that has been tampered with is trash.
