MoonFaker: Exhibit D: Critique #04B: Wernher von Braun Part B

Description

Claim #5. Wernher von Braun collected the Apollo moon rocks on a trip to Antarctica. The same conspiracist dribble that lead to bad information getting into the Wernher von Braun Wikipedia article also led Phil Plait down a dark alley during his 2007 debate with Joe Rogan. Regardless of how Jarrah hypes Antarctica as a haven for Meteorites, only four meteorites were discovered in Antarctica between 1912 and 1967 (55 years), while nearly a hundred were discovered anywhere except Antarctica, between 1912 and 1917 (5 years). As for lunar meteorites, that is meteorites that actually resemble NASA's moon rocks, only 29 out of the 129 known to exist came from Antarctica. Before 1969, Antarctica was not considered a rich source of meteorites in general, and since 1974, more lunar meteorites have been found in Oman than in Antarctica, so Antarctica should have been the last place on earth NASA would have sent a rocket scientist to look for meteorites to pass off for moon rocks.
