What's wrong with having a star close to our solar system. There are plenty within 20 light years.

I'm waiting for Gnome Tau myself. It makes a lot more sense.

Riiight! And lasers can whistle!

Why would you land asteroids on the moon to mine them, as opposed to just mining the asteroid where it is?
Why would you put a fuel depot on the moon when there are perfectly good places to put an orbitting fuel depot that doesn't have a pesky gravity well to deal with?

By the time NASA arrives on the moon, its astronauts would be able to get chow mein, vodka, AND tandoori chicken from the locals.

Are there enough rocks at the Lagrange points? The thing about the moon is that you've got plenty of rocks to throw.

Seriously! How long would one have to be away and kicking himself that he forgot to change the thermostat setting before having one of these new fangled ones would pay for itself?

If you're going to link to the speech, then link to the speech.

Retroreflection is accomplished by having three mutually perpendicular reflective surfaces forming a hollow corner. Natural cubic crystal formations can easily develop hollow corner retroreflectivity. So, to show that it was the Apollo lunar ranging experiment, and not a natural crystal formation, you'd at least have to have before and after shots showing the difference.

If you connect to a stingray, won't the tower ID number be different? So if I only connect through whitelisted towers, I'd be safe

Excellent! Now all he needs to do is find his smartphone.

Oh, come now! The existence of a retroreflection is not proof of the existence a *man-made* retroreflector, let alone one placed there by astronauts using 1960s technology.

Oh, they've got that covered as well.

The reflectors aren't proof of anything. There could be naturally occurring retro-reflective crystals on the moon, and NASA's just claiming they landed there. Now, if you had evidence that there was nothing retro-reflecting BEFORE the Apollo missions, then you might have something.

Note: just pointing out the flaw in the argument, not participating in the hoaxer camp.
