By the weay, I found LC's post very informative and meaningful. He really is a smart bastard. [!--emo&:cussing:--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/cussing[1].gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'cussing[1].gif\' /][!--endemo--]
I guess there are a lot more reasons to belive that we in fact did land on moon that to do otherwise. Some of the rock samples brought back from moon are so un-earthly, that the scientists who inspected them said that rather than faking such a stone, it'd be easier to go get one from the moon! But you've gotta admit, the conspiracy theorists have done a good job, almost had me convinced. This does say one thing about human perception, we only belive what we hear and see, and the deeper you look, the more you realize how little you actually know. [!--emo&

Completely agree with you, however, Moon rocks as well as Mars, Venus and Mercury (the Terrestial planets) are actually very much like Earth's. This means they are composed of Oxygen, Silicon, Iron and probably Aluminum (these are the most common elements found in rocks). The reason being that everything in the universe is composed of the same 92 NATURAL elements. So you won't find anything out of the ordinary out there. Apollo 15 did find the so-called GENESIS rock, which gave a clue of the Moon's origin, but the rest were mostly basalt (volcanic rock). The Jovian Planets (from Jupiter outwards) are Mostly Helium and Hydrogen because they are too far from the sun to have heated enough to form a surface like the terrestial planets. Even though I got a C (78%) in Astronomy I see it has paid off. LOL
