People in the know have known since around 1733 of a moon atmosphere..all you need is a telescope and look up, you will see the grazing occultations of the stars as the moon moves..

Seriously?
An atmosphere so thin its total weight is about 10 tons, and it's visible from Earth?
Wow.

And now to all the wolves, was the mission(s) to the moon just to look and leave, or to colonize the moon? Was skylab and mir the mission, or was having a base on the moon the mission? apollo 11 signalled the end, the 1st flag planting proved there was wind..and for nasa to say water on the moon in 1998, must have been too classified in the late 50's for us huh?

What? The flags raised on the Apollo missions prove the Moon has an atmosphere? Er, no, they don't. The flags hung from horizontal bars like curtains from a curtain rail. Their rumpled appearance came from being tightly folded up for the flight to the Moon.
And where do you get the idea that NASA has known since the 1950s that there was water on the Moon? I understand the presence of water on the Moon is still far from proven.

ok, water, atmosphere and still go skylab and mir? only reason for the dead moon ideology, is because it is harder to explain the obvious, especially by the quacks that think we are never ready for the truth...i expect the wolves and spin doctors on this board, no experts, as usual.

I don't think I'm either a wolf or a spin doctor. I'm just a curious individual who'd like to see your evidence for the presence of water and an atmosphere on the Moon.
