My speck of moon dust: As it has been pointed out here, there is no way that such an "hoax" could have been kept secret. I think the photo's are staged photo's that somehow slipped out and somebody thought they were the real thing. Maybe those photo's were taken with all good intentions for the media or promotion or what ever they were for in the Apollo time. Look at all the staged photo's going around of the Mars rover to show people how it is (or going to be like) on Mars, you have to look twice to make sure that they are not real. I have a conspiracy theory about ... conspiracy. Quentin -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline? Don't AutoReply us! email listserv@mitvma.mit.edu with SET PICList DIGEST in the body
