Oh man I tried that same thing once and spent a solid 45 minutes staring at rocks like an idiot, pretty sure my dog thought I lost my mind.

Oh man, I've been that person holding up a "smoking gun" that turned out to be a waterlogged newspaper from 1978, so I get the excitement. But yeah, you make a solid point. Unless someone actually worked on the Apollo mission and can vouch for that memo's purpose, it's just a cool piece of paper with a date stamp. I'd bet my favorite coffee mug there are more fake NASA memos floating around than real ones. Still, it's a neat conversation starter for a garage sale find.

My buddy Tim spent a whole weekend watching a video series on building a website. By Monday he still couldn't make a button change color. Cracked open the official MDN docs and had it working in like 20 minutes. He was so mad he threw his mouse.

Guy at my local store told me to use gorilla tape on a PVC pipe once.

That "ask if the metal can be straightened first" applies to so many things, like trying to fix a wobbly table before just grabbing a napkin.
