Jarrah: And there you have it.
As of SMART-1’s controlled impact, a mismatch has been found between actual moon rocks and
the rocks supposedly collected during lunar EVA.
The probe has uncovered minerals different to the rocks gathered on the surface during
moon walks.
Such a damning discovery, that only the Australian Broadcasting Corporation picked up on this,
while all other news networks ignored it.
Isn’t it obvious why?
Like Jarrah, I find it interesting that the only reference, worldwide, to the discovery
of new minerals (plural) on the moon appears to be in a news announcement that aired on
Jarrah’s TV, and that Jarrah coincidentally had his VCR set up to record this particular
revelation.
Quite a coincidence!
I suspect the statement that new minerals
(plural) were found on the moon was used as the commercial teaser earlier in the evening.
Jarrah, of course, attributes the fact that only one station aired this incriminating
story was due to a worldwide media conspiracy, but apparently nobody thought to send a memo
to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation to tell them not to air the TRUE story.
Right?
Personally, I think that the unpaid intern, who was forced to write the teaser that aired
that day, wrote it to sound a little more sensational that it really was.
You know the types of teasers I’m talking about.
“New credit card laws may cost you thousands of dollars.
Details at 11.”
‘Nuf said.
Jarrah: Wait.
What’s that I hear you say?
But, these different rocks that ESA analyzed, came from below ground.
Maybe that’s why they are different to the Apollo samples.
With this in mind, it can be confidently stated that the actual moon rocks are different to
the Apollo samples, collected above and below ground.
Jarrah: Knowing that the Apollo rocks are different to those analyzed by SMART-1 what proof do
we have that man actually went there?
Again, according to ABC, the hole dug out by SMART-1 was 3 to 10-meters WIDE, and only
1-meter DEEP.
Jarrah tries to get as much mileage out of the ABC teaser as possible.
However, his conclusions are based on an analysis by the SMART-1 spacecraft during a “controlled”
impact, that didn’t really happen - the analysis that is.
And the results of earth bound observations of the flash of light and the dust that was
kicked up during the impact were not available until several days later.
And what were the new minerals that SMART-1 was supposed to have found?
In an attempt to address this omission, Jarrah muddles the crash of the SMART-1 in with an
earlier article published by ESA about SMART-1’s x-ray mapping experiment.
Jarrah: They found that the calcium detected from orbit was in agreement with that found
by Luna 24 on the surface of Mare Crisium.
As SMART-1 flew on, it swept D-CIXS over the nearby highland regions.
Calcium showed up here too, which was a surprise until the scientists looked at the data from
another Russian moon mission, Luna 20.
That lander had also found calcium back in the 1970s.
So, it seems, the actual moon rocks are different to the Apollo moon samples, but not the Soviet
samples.
Evidently, either the Russian moon rocks were never identical to their American counterparts
in the first place, or ESA is covering for mother Russia, and forgot to cover for NASA.
What?
This scenario is so convoluted you would need a road map to figure it out.
Jarrah is referring to this ESA article, published August 18, 2006, two weeks before SMART-1’s
impact, which talks about the D-CIXS [pronounced] Dis-Icks, the global x-ray mapping spectrometer
experiment.
The D-CIXS found calcium in the Mare Crisium region that agreed with the samples returned
from that area by Luna 24.
Calcium also lit up in a nearby highland region, which agreed with samples returned from that
area by Luna 20.
What’s remarkable about this finding is not that Calcium was found, but that it was
the first REMOTE detection of the element Calcium on the moon.
Reading further, the article explains that by comparing orbital observations of previous
landing sites to “ground truth” - that is, the analysis of samples brought back from
the Luna landing sites - the ESA scientists had greater confidence that their equipment
was working correctly.
This exact comment about “ground truth” appears verbatim in an earlier ESA article
from July 20, 2006, which states that the Apollo landing sites were used as calibration
points, because they already had detailed analysis of what minerals should be there.
By comparing the D-CIXS measurements to “ground truths” in those areas and getting a match,
they were then more certain that their equipment was functioning correctly.
That means that if they were to find different minerals on different parts of the moon later
on, then they would have greater confidence that those new minerals were really there;
and we could potentially send future missions to those areas and see what’s up.
NOWHERE does ESA say that they made remote observations of the Apollo landing sites that
were inconsistent with the materials brought back from those sites.
And I don’t understand why Jarrah would think that calcium was the new mineral discovered
during the SMART-1 impact.
First off, Calcium is a common ELEMENT, not a mineral, found in moon rocks.
In fact, Jarrah mentions the existence of Calcium in lunar rock twice in his video series.
First when he reads from of the “National Geographic Picture Atlas of Our Universe,”
published in 1980.
Jarrah: Maybe the Moon and Earth were formed at the same time, out of the same gas and dust.
The same elements are found on both - CALCIUM, aluminum, titanium, magnesium, silicon, oxygen,
iron - but in far different proportions.
And again when he reads from Michael Davidson’s paper, “Moon Rocks under the Microscope,”
which first appeared in the July 1993 edition of “Microscopy & Analysis.”
Mare basalts are volcanic lavas generally rich in iron and titanium oxide minerals that
formed when molten rock from the interior of the Moon surfaced and cooled.
Chemically, the rock is about 42% silicon dioxide, 22% ferrous oxide, with the rest
being mainly magnesium, CALCIUM, and aluminum oxides.
And now we are to believe that Calcium was newly discovered by SMART-1 in 2006?
How?
This is the reason why I would never be a good conspiracy theorist.
I don’t think I have the mental capacity to keep all the conflicting stories straight
and know which one to apply in any given situation.
It’s much simpler to stick with the facts.
That way you only have to remember one story, and it always applies.
So, at the end of the day, even though Jarrah found a newscast suggesting that SMART-1 uncovered
new minerals (plural) during a controlled impact, that newscast fails to reveal exactly
what those new minerals are, and there has been nothing subsequently published to identify
those new minerals.
But so what?
Scientists expect to find new minerals, different from the minerals in the Apollo moon rocks,
in regions not previously explored by manned missions.
And the source that Jarrah uses to conclude that calcium is the new mineral, or element,
that SMART-1 discovered also states that SMART-1's remote analysis of the Apollo landing sites
are consistent with the minerals found in NASA's moon rocks.
So, in conclusion to the moon rock portion of Jarrah’s video series, Jarrah’s most
damning evidence that NASA’s moon rocks are fake - the presumed existence of new minerals
(plural) found on the moon by SMART-1 - turns out to be nothing more than a red herring.
And unless I missed something, this is the last of Jarrah’s claims regarding the authenticity
of NASA’s moon rocks.
Hurray!
None of Jarrah’s claims have held up to even the most rudimentary scrutiny.
Not one piece of evidence that he offers has panned out to be anything more than misinterpreted
or unrelated facts and half-truths clouded by bare assertions and innuendo.
He has failed to discredit the most overwhelming evidence that the Apollo missions were real
- the existence of rocks and soil samples from the lunar surface, brought back by the
Apollo astronauts.
We could stop here, but the real fun stuff is yet to come.
Stay tuned for videos on lunar laser ranging and Apollo mission telecommunications.
Ciao moon hoax conspirators, wherever you are.
