    Phil gets a mention

    https://www.stuff.co.nz/world/americ...ed-on-the-moon

    Washington Post article echoed on NZ's primary news website.

    The quote's not great; not a fact. Interesting item overall, but not "news" to most here!

    Astronomer Phil Plait dissected the hoax hypothesis in a 2001 blog post that holds up as the definitive debunking. "Their evidence is actually as tenuous as the vacuum of space itself," Plait wrote.

    Obviously a paid NASA shill! He probably even claims rockets can propel in a vacuum!

    I'm not in either one of those links. I need to change my sig line to "the other, far less popular Phil".

    I suspect the article is a hoax; the astronaut is wearing no boxing gloves?
