Apollo Moon Rock, Big Bertha, Van Allen Belts
Questions are raised regarding the validity of the Apollo moon landings, citing the loss of 10,000 telemetry tapes and the discovery that a moon rock given to the Netherlands was actually petrified wood. A recent study of the "Big Bertha" rock from Apollo 14 suggests it may have originated on Earth 4 billion years ago and was launched to the moon by an asteroid impact.
