Another lie:
...and since the astronauts could not tell the difference between moon rock and petrified wood..
www.telegraph.co.uk...
The "story" of that particular artifact has also been covered at great length in this very thread.
To re-cap:
The block of petrified wood was NOT "given" to anyone by any Astronaut claiming it as a sample from the Moon. It was given by the Apollo 11 crew on their goodwill visit to the Netherlands.....but, it was a known piece of petrified wood then, to all concerned at the time.
It was discovered after the death of the Prime Minister, in his home. The only people who claimed it to be a "moon rock" were those (ignorant) people who found it, and just assumed it to be. A terribly embarrassing mistake for those involved....since none of them bothered to verify its authenticity in any way.
And....For The Record .....gifts of Lunar samples to foreign dignitaries and nations consisted of tiny grains of sand, encased in Lucite plastic, and mounted on a decorative plaque with stand.
This petrified wood was about the size of a Human fist, and was not encased in anything.

What evidence would you accept?
1)The failure to get 'back' to the moon or go any further than a few hundred miles into space since the 1970's
2) Neil Armstrong telling us we didn't go to the moon. In less than cryptic messages!
3) All the evidence to finally settle it has been destroyed and digitally remastered ; Faked.
4) Astronauts press conference, guilt.
5) U.S 9/11 proves mass hoaxes are perpetrated, human cost irrelevant to achieve set goals.
6) This link has some great evidence www.geschichteinchronologie.ch...
Education: The astronauts have no photographic education. They have no idea how to handle a manual camera with exposure time, shutter and sharpness. The astronauts would not be able to make perfect fotos with a Hasselblad 500 EL even on Earth (Wisnewski, p.153).
[How shall this have happened "on the moon"? Not possible].
7) Lunar rover at actual speed www.youtube.com...
There are thousands of other bits of evidence..
LM tests done in atmospheric(vacuum) chambers.

Good find! Have a star. The hypergolic fuel does burn bright blue, but whether it would be visible in strong daylight is another matter. In the outside test, the "flame" is much less noticeable.
However, we know that the background sky is black on the moon.
Now, would you say that particles were leaving the nozzle of the LM?
And so, would the strong sunlight be reflected off those particles?

Guys I know this is your job but when do you give up.
With each generation less people accept the Apollo moon landings.
The fox documentary was the first stage in getting people used to the hoax, it was designed to see if people were ready.
"Fox should stick to making cartoons," agreed Marc Norman. "I'm a big fan of The Simpsons!"
....Indeed, says McKay, faking a Moon rock well enough to hoodwink an international army of scientists might be more difficult than the Manhattan Project. "It would be easier to just go to the Moon and get one," he quipped...
"I have here in my office a 10-foot high stack of scientific books full of papers about the Apollo Moon rocks," added McKay. "Researchers in thousands of labs have examined Apollo Moon samples -- not a single paper challenges their origin! And these aren't all NASA employees, either. We've loaned samples to scientists in dozens of countries [who have no reason to cooperate in any hoax]."
Even Dr. Robert Park, Director of the Washington office of the American Physical Society and a noted critic of NASA's human space flight program, agrees with the space agency on this issue. "The body of physical evidence that humans did walk on the Moon is simply overwhelming."
On Thursday, February 15th 2001 (and replayed on March 19), the Fox TV network aired a program called ``Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?'', hosted by X-Files actor Mitch Pileggi. The program was an hour long, and featured interviews with a series of people who believe that NASA faked the Apollo Moon landings in the 1960s and 1970s. The biggest voice in this is Bill Kaysing, who claims to have all sorts of hoax evidence, including pictures taken by the astronauts, engineering details, discussions of physics and even some testimony by astronauts themselves. The program's conclusion was that the whole thing was faked in the Nevada desert (in Area 51, of course!). According to them, NASA did not have the technical capability of going to the Moon, but pressure due to the Cold War with the Soviet Union forced them to fake it.
Sound ridiculous? Of course it does! It is. So let me get this straight right from the start: this program is an hour long piece of junk.
He later worked for a time as a furniture maker, before working at Rocketdyne (a division of North American Aviation and later of Rockwell International), (1956–1963), where Saturn V rocket engines were built. Kaysing was the company's head of technical publications but was not trained as an engineer or scientist.

Stratosphere
The layer above the troposphere is the stratosphere. It extends from the tropopause to the stratopause, the upper boundary at about 30 to 33 miles (48 to 53 km) altitude.
If he spoke such nonsense then why was there a concerted effort to ridicule him.. surely his claims would not even warrant a response.
But all the evidence is here..
