Did the dinosaurs beat man on the MOON? The bones of giant reptiles were thrown into space when the extinct asteroid exploded on Earth 66 million years ago, scientists say
- An excerpt from “The End of the World” by Peter Brannen was shared on Twitter
- Describes the asteroid that destroyed the dinosaurs 66 million years ago
- Asteroid “drilled a vacuum hole in space in the atmosphere”
- The debris was expelled from the impact which was mixed with dinosaur bones
- Given this, scientists say there are probably bones per month
Although Neil Armstrong was the first man to step on the moon in 1967, dinosaurs may have beaten him 66 million years ago – or at least pieces of prehistoric creatures.
The statement comes from Peter Brannen’s 2017 book, “The End of the World,” which was recently fragmented on Twitter by blogger Matt Austin.
An excerpt describes the violent asteroid breaking a “vacuum hole from space into the atmosphere.”
This sent debris flying into orbit and “dinosaur pieces” could have been mixed into the enormous volume of earth that was ejected into space – all of which landed on the moon.

Peter Brannen’s 2017 book “The End of the World” suggests the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs threw debris into space that led along the dinosaur bones – which landed on the moon
The catastrophic asteroid crashed in what experts say was in the “deadliest possible angle” when it entered what is now Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.
Brannen, an award-winning science journalist, writes that the asteroid was larger than Mount Everest and entered the atmosphere 20 times faster than a fast bullet.
“This is so fast that it would have traveled the distance from the cruising altitude of a 747 on the ground in 0.3 seconds,” the book reads.
The book includes comments by geophysicist Mario Rebolledo of the Centro de Investigación who told Brannen, “Atmospheric pressure in front of the asteroid began to excavate the crater before it reached it.”
An excerpt describes the violent asteroid breaking a “vacuum hole from space into the atmosphere.” This sent debris flying into orbit and “dinosaur pieces” could have been mixed into the enormous volume of earth that was ejected into space – all of which landed on the moon.
Then, when the meteorite reached ground zero, it was completely intact. It was so massive that the atmosphere didn’t even scratch.
The book says that the 66-million-year-old assisted scene did not come close to what we see in Hollywood movies, which usually feature a glowing ball of fire across the sky.
“As the asteroid collided with Earth, in the sky above it, where there should have been air, the rock drilled a space vacuum hole into the atmosphere,” explains Brannen.
“As the skies rushed to close this hole, huge volumes of earth were ejected into orbit and beyond – all within a second or two of impact.”
“So there are probably small pieces of dinosaur bone on the moon,” Brannen asks.
And Rebolledo replies, “Yes, probably.”
Although the book was published in 2017, blogger Matt Austin recently fragmented excerpts on Twitter
Although there is no evidence to support the claims of the “End of the World”, scientists have managed to compose the events that took place.
The asteroid left a 120-mile-wide crater in the disaster area, vaporizing the rock and sending billions of tons of sulfur and carbon dioxide to prehistoric skies.
All the living beings a few hundred kilometers from the place of impact would have been cremated in a few minutes.
Meanwhile, the impact cloud of dust would have blocked the sun – probably triggering a “nuclear winter” and seeing temperatures sink, with acid rain falling from the sky and 75 percent of extinct living species.
“It would have felt like the earth beneath your feet had become a ship in the middle of the ocean,” said Mark Richards, a professor of earth and space sciences at the University of Washington.
“Then the rocks would have bombarded you from a boiling sky, which was beginning to blur.” It would have seemed the end of the world.
