Default Moon hoax story

I understand that Bill Hartmann, one of the scientists behind the Big Whack theory of the Moon’s origin, wrote a short story about the Moon Hoax. I know I’ve read it online, but I now can’t find it anywhere. It’s written in the style of a school-kid’s essay from late this century, poking fun at the people who think the Moon landings actually happened.

Can someone locate a copy of the story and point me towards it, please.

Cheers

The Moon? A hoax? But it's so HUGE!

Hello Peter B

I found this link about "the big whack theory"
http://www.psi.edu/projects/moon/moon.html

In this article they mention William Hartmann and not Bill Hartmann. I couldn't find the article you are looking for, but I hope this can be helpful with your search.

Thanks for that. Bill Hartmann and William Hartmann are the same person. In English, people with the name of William are often called Bill.
