Ваши достижения в области художественного перевода мы еще обсудим. 
Я думаю, лучше обсудить то, что в оригинале пишет Вассербург.

"We all prepared our papers, which were quite restricted in length.
I had decided that the authorship of the lab’s work should not be associated with
one individual, but in respect to all the extremely creative and skilled people, there
should be a laboratory name. As in the original abstract submission to the first
Lunar Science Conference, I used the name “The Lunatic Asylum” for the lab
with a footnote indicating the list of “inmates.” The paper submitted to Science
followed this format.
After a time I received a call from the Editor’s office informing
me that our submission had received very favorable reviews, but there was one
small problem. The Lunatic Asylum was not quite O.K. Thus the battle began.
Phil Abelson, an old friend and the Managing Editor, called and said this was
not acceptable. “Will this be referenced as Asylum, L in the literature? This will
have a bad effect with members of the Congress if they think that scientists are
not serious.” It went on and on. I inquired whether the quality of the work and
the presentation were inadequate. On the contrary, they assure me that it was
absolutely first class work. I replied, “Well, then publish it!” “We’ll see,” was
the response. Over the next week, I was visited by some of the most outstanding
scientists who inquired what research we had been doing. Of course, I showed
them all of our results and the preprint. This resulted in laudatory comments
about the lab’s achievements and raised comments from them about the Lunatic
Asylum, suggesting that the name be dropped. After a bit, it was evident to me
that this suggestion was orchestrated. I told Phil Abelson, if they wished, I would
withdraw the paper and publish it elsewhere. They acquiesced and it appeared as
submitted. The Lunatic Asylum became a regular word in the scientific literature
in many journals.
We have been cited as Asylum, L; sometimes as Albee, A.L.,
et al".http://www.annualreviews.org/doi/pdf/10.1146/annurev.earth.31.100901.141409Все понятно?
А теперь обясняю еще раз касательно "независимых зарубежных исследователей"
"Lunatic Asylum... This group of exceptional individuals worked together intimately from before
Apollo 11 through Apollo 17 with fierce dedication and intensity directed toward the research goal of studying and understanding the moon. There were professors, research fellows, students, and engineers. (2)
(2) Albee A.L., Allegre C.A., Anbar A.D., Andersson P.S., Armstrong J.T., Aronson J.L., Asplund N., Ball E., Banner J.L., Bar-Matthews M., Bauman C.A., Beets C.J.,
Begemann F., Bence..." (там же)
И вот
Бегеманн потом был жуликами заявлен, как "независимый зарубежный исследователь". +@> Как и индус
Бхандари - который на самом деле был заявлен, как
американский исследователь университета Сан Диего (США).

Быть может,
кто-то из защитников все же прокомментируе последнее обстоятельство и ответит на вопрос - могут ли Бегемагг с Бхандарием после этого называться "
независимыми зарубежным исследователями"? Нет? Правильно, а ведь именно этими двумя ударными именами потрясали защитники - это именно калифорниец Бегеманн разместил на сайте института ИМП свое вранье про исследованный им камень весом 193 грамма, причем сделал это это имени - но без поручения - немецкой науки.
Позор фальсификаторам! )<
