An objection that has frequently been brought up by the propagandist community, is the fact that NASA's Apollo rock samples are covered in tiny craters called "Zap-Pits". These were supposedly created by micrometeorites colliding with the rocks.

Bill Kaysing pointed out that these could be faked using a two-stage light gas gun, which can accelerate particles up to 32,000ft per second. He pointed out that such a gun existed in Santa Barbara in the 1960s.

Incredibly, desperate to try and debunk this, Phil Webb has unwittingly confirmed that this could be done. He has proven that,

a) Two-stage light-gas guns existed in the 1960s (and all that was needed is one with the appropriate nozzle size - which NASA could more than afford to build!)

b) NASA had all the data they needed from Lunar Orbiter to know how to go about accurately simulating micrometeorite impacts.

c) Micron-sized projectiles can achieve similar speeds to what Kaysing mentioned in his book.

So once again, we can use the propagandists' own source information against them! Had Webb bothered to research further he might have learned,

d) NASA were performing meteorite simulations studies long before Ranger was even sent to the moon.

e) Since 1949, the scientific community had known micrometeorites could land on earth and would likely concentrate in the polar snow.

f) In the early 1960s methods involving balloons and sounding rockets had been developed to sample actual micrometeorites as they fell through the upper atmosphere.

All in all, when it comes to simulating zap pits, I'd say problem solved.
