Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to list anything which might answer the hapoon question, though that is to be expected as the harpoon is no longer in space for whatever reason.

	I have tried to clear up the 'Rum on Apollo 12' explanation section, by explaining that there are various theories, but that no one theory has yet been proven. I included a reference to the discussion section, as thats where most of the ongoing finding/research/discussion has been recorded. The Harpoon Rum theory has been left because it seems that this theory has some historical precedence (Apollo 8 story), is fairly plausible, and is the type of information which Randall may be privy to. It also seems to have fairly widespread support amongst this community. --[[User:Pudder\|Pudder]] ([[User talk:Pudder\|talk]]) 15:16, 24 September 2014 (UTC)		I have tried to clear up the 'Rum on Apollo 12' explanation section, by explaining that there are various theories, but that no one theory has yet been proven.

		+	Thank you for writing, we hope that you can find what you are looking for.
