Alright, let's start with number one. We know the lunar landing is not fake thanks to the work of Mythbusters. Of course, that now begs the question of what we're seeing here. Could it be possible that they did IN FACT make a fake moon landing video on the assumption that they wouldn't make it, and was to be used if they didn't?

Here's another thing to consider, though. We can't actually tell whether or not that is from the U.S. For all we know, this was the Soviet's attempt to try and fake a moon landing after the U.S. launched theirs. If we had failed to make the moon landing, then the Soviets would have come out saying that they landed a man on the moon (I'm sure they wouldn't be above faking it until they could achieve it).

As for the moon rock, we don't actually know what it's made of. I would challenge, though, that the book is considered canon, with the situation of Edna Millay's Candle being either a double artifact created or a case where TV canon overrides a singular point without disrupting the rest of its surroundings drastically. I won't talk about the Eureka aspect since I'm not savvy in it yet.

Now, onto discussion number two: the Pearl Connection. I am not opposed to the idea that the pearls could have a connection to the Caretaker's ability to teleport, but I would argue the pearls work in conjunction with the Tree as opposed to being something separate. What if the Necklace actually came from the Tree of Idun, or was connected to it in an unexplored way? As long as the connection between Caretaker and Tree is stable, the necklace works fine. However, in some circumstances (Paracelsus overtaking the Caretaker connection, for example), the Necklace will not work. It could also be that the Necklace has a limit of how many times it can teleport the user over a specific period of time, and Mrs. F had hit that limit during that episode, hence her walking out (assuming she has the necklace on).

Here's another thing to consider: Claudia's necklace. What if the Necklace is able to change forms to match the Caretaker's style? For example, a male Caretaker wouldn't want to wear a pearl necklace, and I can't say Claudia would like to wear it either. But what if it can change forms? It could have hundreds of different forms to fit whatever personality the user has.

So the final question is, is there any relation to the Tree? An excellent question which I would argue yes but perhaps needing of further discussion with a few others to voice their opinions.
