During Apollo 15’s second moonwalk (EVA-2) in 1971, astronauts David Scott and James Irwin made one of the most iconic discoveries in lunar history — the Genesis Rock! 🪨 This bright white stone, officially called Sample 15415, was found near Spur Crater on the slopes of Mons Hadley Delta. Scientists believed it might be a piece of the Moon’s original crust — one of the oldest rocks ever found by humankind. 🌑 Just imagine — while exploring in the lunar rover, they spotted this gleaming fragment

At 9:32 AM ET on July 16th, 1969, Apollo 11, the first mission to land humans on the Moon, was launched on a Saturn V rocket from NASA's Kennedy Space Center. Onboard were astronauts Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong, and Michael Collins. Relive the mission in real time: https://apolloinrealtime.org/11/ | NASA History

The Fallen Astronaut is a small aluminum figure placed on the Moon by the Apollo 15 crew in 1971, alongside a plaque listing 14 astronauts and cosmonauts who died in the pursuit of space exploration. The sculpture was left quietly at Hadley Rille, facing the vast lunar horizon—a human tribute beyond Earth. It remains untouched, a reminder of both our ambition and our fragility in space.

In honor of John, we are sharing one of his most-viewed videos this week. The 3 artifacts are the Iron Cup in Coal, The Fossil Finger and the Iron “London” Hammer in rock. Evaluate each for yourself and decide if science's timeline of geology is correct or needs an overhaul. #LondonHammer #fossils #Ooparts #Creationism #Creationscience #limestonefinger | Lost World Museum
