YOU SAID THE MOON IS VERY SALTY. CITE.
It has to be salty, especially if having been made from Earth and as
equally pulverized by those multi-teratonne salty iceberg comets,
because where the hell else would all of that remainder of salt have
gone?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium
"Sodium is present in great quantities in the earth's oceans as
sodium chloride (common salt)."
How many tonnes per day of evaporated/vaporized sodium would it take
to create and sustain that surrounding cloud and comet like trail of
sodium?

UGH. The ocean is salty because rocks have been eroding into it for
billions of years, not because of comets, or the Moon, or Jewish
conspiracies, or whatever your hobby horse is now. But hey, don't
take my word for it (or the word of every high-school science textbook
about the water cycle...). I see your...Wikipedia citation [sigh] and
raise you one of my own:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_water

"Scientific theories behind the origins of sea salt started with Sir
Edmond Halley in 1715, who proposed that salt and other minerals were
carried into the sea by rivers, having been leached out of the ground
by rainfall runoff...Halley's theory is partly correct. In addition,
sodium was leached out of the ocean floor when the oceans first
formed."


Most of Earth's salt is from a cosmic or at least Oort cloud deposit,
or rather from many such salty deposits.

Mars is at least as old if not a billion years older than Earth, and
the erosion on Mars didn't seem to create all that much salt, in fact
there's hardly any Mars salt. Go figure, where is all the Mars salt
hiding.

The 9r sodium cloud that's leaching from and surrounding our
physically dark moon, plus its 900,000 km comet like trail of solar
wind blown sodium is not exactly insignificant.

the problem is Brad is quoting a condition of Mars that refutes himself.
this means that his delusions are getting worse.


This condition is what he refers to as "regular laws of physics."
