Have a family member who is Japanese and worked in some lower levels of government there. They said a large percentage of Japanese didn't believe it was real because the cameras were from Japanese companies and they knew they couldn't withstand the radiation levels. Also something about the moon rock samples they got being terrestrial in nature. Anecdotal, but interesting.
Lol yep that is fact, I think it was the Americas who gifted the dutch (not sure of the country) a "moon" rock and it turned out to be petrified wood.
Also totally on the camera gear, not to mention the unbelievable temperature changes they had to withstand, or the fact that the astronauts couldn't see what the camera was focusing on yet they got these crystal clear shots.
Correct, J. William Middendorf II, USA Ambassador, gave it to Dutch Minister of State Willem Drees Sr.
Also a lot of activity on Antarctica before the moon missions. Makes me wonder if there are Mars stones to be found there, too? IIRC there were some pictures of Antarctica in a Wikileaks file in 2016 around the time John Kerry went there on a trip.
