Modz, any possibility we can start a section moon specific?

You're reading it out of context. They are saying the dust is dangerous to "man" working on the moon. They won't say "men" because that'd be sexist. Instead, by "man" they mean "the human race".

Whatever the case, don't believe ANYTHING Lear will post here. I'm sure plenty of people will back me up on this.
With the comet back on its way out, when was the dust ejected that makes up the comet dust trail: During the comet's prior return of around 83 BC, give or take a century, 2000 years ago at the beginning of our year count. The dust has since made one revolution, some particles making a wider orbit than others and returning later. There is a continuous stream of dust particles passing by Earth orbit, but only when the planets steer that dust trail in Earth's path do we see a meteor outburst.
Important because:
* Only known case in our lifetime: crossing of the dust trail of a known long period comet.
* Long-period comets, such as were Hale-Bopp, Hyakutake, and McNaught, tend to sneak up on us. They are a potential impact danger. What can the dust trail tell us about their physical nature?
* Their dust is a danger to satellites in orbit and man working on the Moon.
* Dust stream could contain material from original cosmic-ray produced crust of comet.

Eh... perhaps we could have continued going to the moon and NASA may have made other missions to go to the moon that were secret, outside of the apollo missions and now we're just beginning to know about it?

Why can't everyone actually look at my links. People are still talking about us never going to the moon? We have been there for a long, long time!

What do you think they mean by man working on the moon??

If I had a dollar for every link I have provided by those demanding evidence that WASN'T looked at I would be rich

So you think this guy Resnick is just sitting around for NASA to build their new CEV and Lunar bull###T craft?

BTW I found some fossils on Mars... need your help to track them down... NASA wasn't nice enough to link me to the originals.. drop me a note. I tried to get Bluebird but she's not back yet
