If you are mitch minor, then you know very well that this IS NOT lunar material.
I forwarded you test results from the material you sent me, which proved to be FAKE lunar material.
I also contact the testing placves you provided that also basicly said you were full of it and would not accept what they had to say.
One even went as far as to say the testing inoformation you provided was doctored and not in the original form it was when they returned it to you.
I trust my testing source 100% and your material IS FAKE.
you sir are a con artist at worst, or at best who can not accept the truth.
I will call you out here and publicly on this.
You sent me 5 grams of "lunar" material that is not real.
You are a liar and a fraud.
