Reproduced below, for your entertainment and edification, are the first paragraph of the article followed by the enlightened offerings from three of our typical fellow Americans. I stumbled across the holy trinity of the Ignorami: general stupidity, religious dogma, and politics. I hit the jackpot!
Read'em and weep:
Apollo rocks analysis: solar wind made moon water
Analyzing grains of soil
collected from three Apollo lunar missions, geochemists have figured out that
the hydrogen in trace amounts of water on the moon’s surface probably came from
solar wind, the outflow of positively-charged hydrogen from the sun.

Oh yeah, let's look at that junk from 43 years ago.

My pastor has always questioned whether men went to the moon. He told me my opinion should be to question these alleged events and consult with the Bible. Same with dinosaurs. Moon rocks, schmoon rocks; I don't believe it.

Hydrogen atoms in a rock from solar wind to make water, even though the moon
is dryer than a bone in the Arizona desert because, even if an atom of water did
form, it would immediately evaporate into the vacuum of space? Boy, are these
NASA folks really trying hard to keep their jobs once the fiscal cliff
cometh.

Examining junk from 43 years ago is trumped by the truths of 2012 years ago. The test of time solidifies those Truths.
Jesus said nothing about anyone being on the moon. For that matter Paul and the gang never said anything about NASA. That should be proof enough for anybody!
As the child of one of the NASA scientists of 43 years ago, reading responses like #2 always makes me weep, snort, and gnash my teeth all at the same time. I grew up with photos of meteorite craters on the surface of the Moon, Mars, and Mercury scattered on the dining room table. I'm pretty sure no one made that much stuff up for so long. My dad always claimed that the folks in Washington were too stoopid (his spelling) to pull off any kind of conspiracy like faking Moon landings. Maybe so, but clearly stoopid abounds elsewhere these days, and as you point out, is gruesomely exposed on the interweb.
I don't think those stoopid people know how many of the creature comforts of their daily lives were developed specifically as a result of the space program. I suspect that they'd be lost without those items.
Is it possible that the aggregate of three stoopid people can be stoopider than the individuals?
Actually, my theory is that three stoopid people actually cancel themselves out. At least I hope so.
