Thank you for your post, we are now returning you to the thread.
Astronauts may have seen the storms, too. While orbiting the Moon, the crews of Apollo 8, 10, 12, and 17 sketched "bands" or "twilight rays" where sunlight was apparently filtering through dust above the moon's surface. This happened before each lunar sunrise and just after each lunar sunset. NASA's Surveyor spacecraft also photographed twilight "horizon glows," much like what the astronauts saw.
Basically none. Some carbon gases, but very little of them. Pressure is about one-trillionth of Earth's atmospheric pressure.

Of course since NASA says so I know the new skeptic creedo will be "Sure makes sense... we knew that all along"

Hey! Mike, do you know how to fly? 'cause I'd like to rent a simulator, already told Zorgon....then we could bury this once and for all, about my abilities versus....well....amateur pilots, for want of a better term.

No.
More like: "That's an interesting phenomenon. Let's do some research and look for a rational explanation that fits with what we know. And if we can't do that, let's learn more about it. Let's not jump to conclusions based fantasy."

I don't see how an encyclopedia can be trusted more than NASA.
This could be the quote of the year. You WERE joking, right?
If you were to make an analogy, if an encyclopedia were NASA, it would only have print on the lower half of every third page. And the first half of the volume would be misplaced.
How could i trust a group that is inept enough to have forgotten how to make it to the moon? It would seem that they have failed the "put up or shut up" test, even with technology that wasn't even in the wildest dreams of the original Apollo crew.

They haven't forgotten how to go to the moon. They just don't want to go like the first time, i.e. a small capsule with many great risks. They plan to go there in a much safer and better way than before.
