...oh we have moon rocks...
And how do you suppose we have moon rocks? I suspect I'm going to bore a few of the regulars now, but you deserve an individual answer. So here goes...
1. Are the "moon rocks" really Earth rocks tricked up in some NASA laboratory? No. Apollo rocks are different from Earth rocks in a number of fundamental ways. For one thing, the chemicals they consist of contain virtually no water, unlike equivalent rocks on Earth. For another, the Apollo rocks show evidence of having formed in a low gravity vacuum. That sort of feature is essentially impossible to fake.
2. Are the "moon rocks" really lunar meteorites? No. The distinctive feature of lunar meteorites is that their surfaces were melted by passing through the Earth's atmosphere at high speed. The distinctive feature of Apollo rocks is that their surfaces are pitted by microscopic craters caused by the impact of dust grains at speeds of tens of kilometres a second. We don't have the technology to accelerate dust grains to that speed, so those features must be natural.
3. Were the moon rocks collected by unmanned sample return missions? No. The Soviets managed to return 400 grams of material from the Moon in three missions - enough to fill a can of soup. The six Apollo missions returned about 380 kilograms of material - about 1000 times as much. This included soil, rocks and core samples up to 2.5 metres long. Much of this material was photographed prior to collection, and some of these photos include astronauts. If those photos were faked on a sound stage somewhere on Earth, how come the Apollo rocks show no sign of Earthly contamination? And if the photos were taken on the Moon, the only explanation for astronauts being in the photos is that the astronauts were on the Moon too.
...prove to me 100% it was real and ill eat my shoe...with ketchup lol
Nothing in life is 100%.
But the reality of Apollo has been demonstrated beyond all
reasonable doubt.
