By the way... Nixon wouldn't be the designer or engineer -- that job belonged to Howard Hughes and Hughes Aircraft, who just happens to be the builder of the Surveyor spacecraft.
The original negotiated cost of the Hughes contract for seven spacecraft was $67 million. Final Hughes contract costs came to $365 million, over a fivefold increase;
For that amount of money (in 1960's dollars) Hughes Aircraft (the CIA front) could have build an entire fleet of Surveyors and landed them precisely wherever Farouk El-Baz wanted them to land, precisely at each location that was later claimed by NASA to be a 'manned' Apollo landing site.
If Hughes had a contract for 7 Surveyors costing $67 million...
14 Surveyors would cost $134 million...
21 Surveyors would cost $201 million...
28 Surveyors would cost $268 million...
35 Surveyors would cost $335 million...
and that leaves an final $35 million to keep people quiet.
How did Hughes keep workers quiet? Pay them people lots of overtime, tell them not to ask questions about it.

LOS ANGELES—A crew of Mongolian gerbils may have gone where no Mongolian gerbil has gone before, but they did not come back alive. A Russian spacecraft filled with mice, lizards and other animals has returned to Earth—but with the majority of its furred passengers apparently dead.
The Bion-M experiment, launched from Baikonur, Kazakhstan, on April 19, carried 45 mice, 15 geckos, 18 Mongolian gerbils, 20 snails and a number of different plants, seeds and microorganisms, according to a Russian state news site.
About half of the mice died, but the lizards reportedly survived. The Mongolian gerbils all expired, apparently due to an equipment failure, said Vladimir Sychev of the Russian Academy of Sciences, according to AFP.
The satellite was sent into a near-Earth orbit 575 kilometres above Earth, far higher than the International Space station. Lasting 30 days, the mission represented the longest time that Russian animal astronauts had been sent into space. A previous mission in 2007 lasted 12 days and only went up to about 280 kilometres in altitude.
Perhaps ironically, the ill-fated Mongolian gerbils were thought to have an advantage in space, since the rodents live in harsh environments and can survive without water for relatively long periods, according to an agency release weeks before the launch. Half the mice were expected to die during the journey, according to Sychev.
Although many of the animals died, they will still provide the researchers with valuable science: Each animal was numbered and implanted with a tiny microchip that would contain the “entire biography of the animal,” according to an agency web page. Source www.thestar.com...

i asked was how much fuel 2/ they do need engines for braking and setting of again or did they float up

there should be some 35 surveyors littered around each apollo site, thats about 5 or 6 surveyors per site that is alot of hopping..

choos, you keep taking my statements and extending them beyond what I said!
I did not suggest that

Here is what I suggested. I suggested and I showed using NASA sources that Howard Hughes got paid 5.5 times over the contract to produce just "7" Surveyors? That's ludicrous.
I suggested that he could have built more than "7" and then I provided evidence to that effect when I offered the source link, to a NASA SOURCE, this proves that there were "3" test missions. These three test missions were actual classified as "test missions" and this alone proves that Howard Hughes built more than 7 Surveyors. At the minimum he built 10.

If the Surveyors can hop, they can also create fake footprints.

but can they make that many?? and that randomly? remember you need to go from steps to jumps to turns, the surveyors are going to put a tripod of footprints everywhere?
i guess the surveyors had arms too to place the flag in place and all the science equipment.. probably drove the rover around too right? and than used the remaining fuel to land in its exact footprint of its initial landing spot right?
i mean how else can a single surveyor travel several miles on moon by hopping.

where are these small lunar rovers with giant boots? self destructed or launched into the sun?
or transformed into the science experiments?? how much and where was the fuel stored to do all those hops? did they also transform into wheeled rovers to travel the distances involved with apollo 17?

I don't doubt that Hughes Aircraft, the CIA front, who built the Surveyors - which were very successful machines, not 100% but really good - that he could easily deliver any number of wheeled rovers to precise locations on the moon for the purpose of simulating the astronaut footprints. The Apollo 15, 16 and 17 rovers could have easily been re-configured for remote control as well and the LRV tracks can be seen from space 40 YEARS LATER using dubiously enhanced images provided by NASA's closest CIA-related college, Arizona State University.
NASA could be planning to redirect some asteroids toward the lunar surface which will devastate the evidence of Apollo ...... The next phase in the von Braun conspiracy is asteroids.
Charles Bolden would be the perfect administrator to run the last two sequential operations.
Operation 1. Fake multiple moon landings and cover it up. Nixon and Hughes planned this and produced the whole deal. Every President has been covering up for this. This cover up has been going on for 43 years incrementally. I'm afraid NASA's only options are to come clean or to bomb the moon to cover up the landing sites for good.
Operation 2. Keep Out Zone. Keep people away from the moon and discourage foreign countries to look at the moon closely with probes and to inject NASA into every lunar project that comes about. I have already quoted some of the Bolden remarks in this thread.
Operation 3. Bomb the moon with asteroids.
Operations 1 and 2 will continue until such time as Operation 3 is ready tested and optimized. Knowing about the von Braun conspiracy is helpful. The next step in the plan is Asteroids. NASA might be planning to direct a huge asteroid storm at the lunar surface to cover up for Nixon's Apollo.
why do you always opt for the most difficult option?
chances of asteroids destroying all evidence of the apollo sites is very small. so unless they plan on destroying the entire moon..
For the past 8 years, NASA astronomers have been monitoring the Moon for signs of explosions caused by meteoroids hitting the lunar surface. "Lunar meteor showers" have turned out to be more common than anyone expected, with hundreds of detectable impacts occurring every year.
"Lunar meteors" crash into the ground with fair frequency. Since the monitoring program began in 2005, NASA’s lunar impact team has detected more than 300 strikes, most orders of magnitude fainter than the March 17th event. Statistically speaking, more than half of all lunar meteors come from known meteoroid streams such as the Perseids and Leonids. The rest are sporadic meteors--random bits of comet and asteroid debris of unknown parentage. U.S. Space Exploration Policy eventually calls for extended astronaut stays on the lunar surface. Identifying the sources of lunar meteors and measuring their impact rates gives future lunar explorers an idea of what to expect. Is it safe to go on a moonwalk, or not? The middle of March might be a good time to stay inside.
your theory and the keep out zones theory dont work well together.. why doesnt NASA enforce a keep out zone of 50nm from the surface of the moon instead of the measly 1m and 3m distances that they have suggested?? or did you forget that NASA has only suggested these zones?.
Space officials reportedly discovered that more than half of the 45 mice aboard the spacecraft died during the flight, the AFP reported. All eight Mongolian gerbils and many of the other critters also did not survive, but all 15 geckos did survive, the news service reported.
