Karamoon,

Thanks for the link. I had seen that one before.

Are you suggesting that since the rocks are contaminated by trace materials that they are fakes?

I'll take the experts word on this that this is contamination instead of some unnamed source on Aulis or librarian Bill Kaysing that these are traces of some manufacturing process.

For more info see.

A nice quote from the article

The astronauts brought back 2,415 separate bits of the moon ranging in size from a grain of sand to nearly the diameter of a basketball.

and this one too,

Geologists also have found 19 fragments of lunar meteorites that were blasted off the surface by impacts and landed in parts of Antarctica, Australia, Morocco and Libya.

So if it is a hoax, in the years up to 1972, the Antarctic meteorite discovers would have had to find 2415 meteorites and alter them accordingly. I find that really hard to believe.
