Once again it seems the full title won't fit. It's "MoonFaker: Helium-3, Fusion Crust, The Oldest Rocks & Exposure Ages".
As the title suggests, these are the issues we'll be addressing. The hype over the amount of helium-3 found in the Apollo samples originated from Jay Windley's website. His claims along these lines were thoroughly and swiftly debunked in MoonFaker Exhibit D. Windley claimed that chipping away the fusion crust of meteorites would remove the helium-3 -- a solar wind induced isotope -- and that there is not enough of the said isotope available on earth to apply to these fake samples.
I pointed out that there is still plenty of helium-3 beneath the fusion crusts and more than enough available on earth to apply to fake moon rocks. But it seems the more desperate propagandists just don't get the message.
Phil Webb goes for volume to falsely accuse me of logical fallacies and flog as many of Windley's debunked claims as possible, and ironically enough once again we can use some of his own sources against his claims. But Webb also peppers in some new nonsense: like his claim that chipping away the fusion crust would leave traces of the tools used in the samples as well as their markings.
This is a red herring. As anyone with a basic understanding of lunar processing should know, the JSC curators usually send out tiny sugar-cube sized samples that were literally chipped off from larger specimens. So traces of the tools would be present in the samples regardless.
In Exhibit D I also played a clip from the BBC series, The Planets, which stated that the Genesis rock was as old as the earth a fact we would never have known without terrestrial rocks of similar age. It has become obvious that one of the reasons Webb skipped over much of my BBC source was so he could falsely accuse me of avoiding mention of the age of the Apollo rocks.
