Extraordinary claims

Irresponsible!

HOUSTON -- President Bush wants to go back to the moon, but Houston has a problem: an acute shortage of fake moon dirt.

Shame, Wall Street Journal! Don't you know that sentences like that just give ammunition to the moon-landing conspiracy theorists? "Ha ha," they will say, "the fact that NASA made fake moon dirt is conclusive proof that the moon landings were filmed on a soundstage!"

After all, conspiracy theorists never read the second paragraph.
