Moon rock found among Bill Clinton's stuff
Only 843 pounds of moon rocks exist on Earth, according to NASA.
Now, 30 years after it went missing, one of those precious rocks has been found among memorabilia belonging to former President Bill Clinton.
A worker found it Wednesday morning, quite by accident, inside one of thousands of nondescript boxes in an Arkansas library. Source lightyears.blogs.cnn.com...

Firstly you argue that NASA could not have auto landed on the moon due to the time lag and then you go on to tell us how the USSR did EXACTLY that to bring back moon rocks..
Which is it mate??
Can it be done automatically or not.
I'd rather see you add something as opposed to that off topic ego rant.
Now, may I interrupt this "spamfest" to ask you a simple question: which do you you dread more? Me countering your latest barrage of nonsense, or me demolishing Jarrah's ridiculous "Moon Rocks Revisited" series? Your call.

Al Worden was at the peak of his career. He had just returned from the moon on what was being dubbed the greatest scientific expedition of the age. Upon his return to Earth he and his crewmates Commander Dave Scott and Lunar Module Pilot James Irwin met the president, spoke to Congress and were honored in a ticker-tape parade. In nine months he got a phone call stating that he was fired and that he needed to clean out his desk – he refused. What would follow went largely untold for four decades.

moon rocks have been purchased on the black market. clintons rock was mis-filed, like the ark of the covenant at the end if raiders
I'm glad you at least admit it's a moon rock, that's progress I guess

Clinton's rock is only claimed to be a moon rock. That could change *after* the rock has been examined in a lab. Until then it could be volcanic basalt plucked from Hawaii or a lunar meteorite snatched from Antarctica. There is nothing about Clinton's rock that proves it is a moon rock.

Operation Desert Thunder was a response to threats by Iraq's president Saddam Hussein to shoot down U-2 spy planes, and violate the no-fly zone set up over his country.

A Remote controlled landing implies some one on the ground (Earth), manually controlling the vehicle. With a 3 second delay that becomes extremely difficult.

Didn't you see NASA ask for a "Keepout Zone" to protect (or HIDE) whatever happened up there?
This is the perfect guy to put in control of space military covert assets... to protect and defend the Apollo Heritage Sites utilizing space based lazer satellites.. weapons that were probably launched on the twin GRAIL satellites...

The two GRAIL satellites are measuring gravity anomalies on the moon by measuring the distance between the satellites using lazers....
GRAIL Wiki
Each spacecraft transmits and receives telemetry from the other spacecraft and Earth-based facilities. By measuring the change in distance between the two spacecraft, the gravity field and geological structure of the Moon can be obtained. The gravitational field of the Moon will be mapped in unprecedented detail.

Um, I don't think the article mentioned whether the lady in question was black. Not that it's relevant, because old people and black people and green people and purple people can be just as wrong as anyone else. I'm not responding to any posts on the matter anymore, FoosM.
