Dave, Dean,
The idea of people on the moon was not JS's original idea or thought.
Like many of his day, prominent scientists included, he most likely was
sucked into a hoax that was published in the New York Sun in 1835 by one
Richard Adams Locke. Related? I have no idea, but if so...that would mean we
have been vexing the mormons for 170 years!
I have reprinted an excerpt of "The Moon Hoax" from an astronomy book at
this site:

.........I do not recall discussing that. You've been tossing that claim
out on TT recently as if it is something I should know about, but I don't.
I googled it and didn't come up with anything either. So help me out,
Brother Dean....please explain what you think I should know about it.
