The fact that it was faked?

Yeah.

So...

Yeah, in the Netherlands, you know, because the Netherlands, that's one of the countries that got our moon pebble.

And they found the other day that, not the other day, this was a few years ago, but they found that the moon rock or the moon pebble that they were given by the United States was actually not rock at all.

It was petrified wood.

And essentially they didn't question the United States at the time.

They just accepted the gift and put it on display at the museum.

And then years later, some experts visited the museum and essentially told the museum people, hey, that doesn't look like moon rock.

Have you ever tested it?

And they said, no, we never tested it.

The only way that they verified it was on a phone call with NASA.

So NASA called them and told them that it was real and they never tested it.

So they were realizing like, oh, I guess we should probably do that.

And then they tested it and found that it was petrified wood.

So does this mean that the Apollo missions never brought back any space rock?

No, it doesn't prove that.

And I can't prove that.

But was NASA capable of lying?

And the United States told the Netherlands they were gifting the moon rock and they lied.
