  1. Came from Destin's channel, his was great, yours is even better. Brian's material (though obviously well rehearsed) was wonderfully informative.

  2. Why don't they use argon as an innert gas protectant? It's as nonreactive as nitrogen if not moreso. Also, argon is denser than air, and so displaces the air, more effectively keeping contaminants away from samples. It's doubtful that the samples have been rigorously protected from oxygen given the protocol illustrated in this video. Are there any moon samples that are more pristine?

  3. Who and how did they make all that ultra clean before that place was used to store moon rocks , how long did it take to get all that work done before anything from the moon could be put in there , starting date and time to finish date and time.

  4. The guy said no amount of money you could give me would allow me to go get new ones to replace them. Well…… if you gave him enough money he could have a new rocket built and hire new astronauts and go back to the moon and get more.

  5. Came over from Smarter Every Day to watch this four year old video about moon rocks because science, got an email at work today about old rocks and new science, read article that name drops Robert Ziegler and talks about how as a new grad student in '98 he was surprised scientists still studying rocks from the Apollo missions, circle back to discover he was that guy at Johnson Space Center and still pumped about science but now with a majestic beard.

  6. There is no way they can date these rocks accurately !  They are going by faulty theories made up by atheistic so-called scientist to prove their point. If you work at one of these organizations and you disagree with their theories you will be ridiculed and then fired !

  7. I've worked on anorthosite from the Bushveld Igneous Complex (worlds largest layered mafic intrusion) and impact breccias from the Vredefort Impact Crater (one of the largest terrestrial impact craters) and seeing these rocks is really quite eery and interesting because they look so familiar and close to home, yet they come from the moon!

  8. Gifts of moon rock were made by the US to many nations and according to Wikipedia, of the 270 gifts, 180 are unaccounted for. Some were sold and some were lost, through accident or sheer carelessness i.e. ignorance.

  9. So…other than a 'guess' of how the moon was formed, what else has been learned? Are they not telling us anything else because, there IS nothing else??

  10. Tell them the one about Buzz Aldrin selling his moon rock that was proven to be petrified wood. It's all Fake folks. We Never went to the Moon. The 28 volts they had can in no way produce the thousands of watts needed to move a Anolog tv or radio signal 220000 miles which is the distance they believed it to be back then. We don't have the tech to do that even today nor could they talk to President Nixon Live with No Delay – The Earth moves and is spinning right.. so is the Moon.. No line of sight! LOL You simply Cannot get around these Facts. It's a Hoax!

  11. I enjoyed all three videos about this facility. But I would ask different questions. Eg., "When you send a rock to a university for study, do they generally, always or never send the rock back here?" And, "What form of transportation do you use to carry the rocks to the universities? Do they ever travel by air? Or by any commercial means like FedEx?" And similar questions that pertain to their safety and safe keeping. But nobody asked these questions. Sure, one of the videos mentioned the two-person combination lock on the vault door, and one video mentioned the two-key locks on the samples, but generally I was sad that these issues weren't covered.

  12. This was called the Pet Rock Project and everyone who wanted one got one and they went out of business now they aren't worth a plug nickel.
