>It appears NASA officials mistakenly believed for decades that good
>PR (public relations) is more important than truth.
>NASA held the purse strings and misconduct from NASA spread into

>For example, how much NASA money, how many pages of MAPS and GCA, and
>how many hours of Lunar Science Conference time has been devoted to
>questionable but flashy discoveries like AN ALPHABET OF NEONS (Ne-A,
>Ne-B, Ne-C, Ne-D, Ne-E, etc.), SUPER-HEAVY ELEMENTS, INTERSTELLAR
>DIAMONDS, STAR DUST, etc. while more mundane explanations (MASS
>FRACTIONATION, LOCAL ELEMENT SYNTHESIS, etc.) were ignored and/or
>excluded from publication?

>1. NASA - the world's premier space agency - failed to appreciate
>that samples from the Apollo mission clearly revealed severe mass
>separation in the Sun. There is little doubt about this conclusion.

>>>Greetings List;

>>> I would like respond to Mr. Notkin. Mr. Notkin you prove that if you
>>>wnat to get your facts straight you have to go to the source. Yes we did
>>>file a lawsuit sometime back against numerous individuals when we
>>>discovered they interfering with some others we were working with on the
>>>meteorite project. Its a well known fact that certain individuals have
>>>been operating against us.
>>> You obviously were lied to by your friend we sued. WE filed a motion
>>>to dismiss the lawsuit after two of the defendants agreed to complete
>>>their contracts with us. WE did it, no Judge dismissed anything. We filed
>>>a motion to dismiss without prejudice that means we can go back at
>>>anytime. Do you understand that? We instructed the Assistant Attorney
>>>General to draft it up, we signed it and filed it once two of the
>>>defendants came forward to spill the beans. We that means us Mr. Notkin.
>>> Now as far the samples, and being told nicely about anything. First
>>>of all if the samples were not authentic why would UT try to steal the
>>>ones that were in left in the lab with them? It was not until we blew the
>>>whistle on them that this controversy began to get out of hand. If you
>>>think that all scientists are honest and do not lie, cheat, and steal,
>>>having same, similar or different motives, Mr. Notkin I have news for
>>>you, you too are in living world that does not exist. I would hope that
>>>you know the difference between a typographical error and an actual
>>>misspelling, but for some people, thinking on their own is a lot of work.
>>>Good luck Mr. Notkin and I really mean that.

>>>Here's an entirely differenct viewpoint from Dirk Ross

>>>Dear Mr. DeRusse,
>>> I have been doing research since 1980. But, my last
>>>research was last year at Yamaguchi University in
>>>Japan.
>>> I have read most of your writings on the internet.
>>>You certainly are an educated person. I can
>>>understand your wish for students and scientists to
>>>think "outside" of the box. I agree with you on this
>>>point. I always ask and demand my students to think
>>>independently so that science can advance what is
>>>known.
>>> I apologize for my initial judgement about you
>>>before knowing more about the whole story. Keep up
>>>your search for fact. About truth, I leave that for
>>>God. Sincerely, Dirk Ross...Tokyo
