The point is, there is man made equipment on the moon, therefore we have been to the moon. The moon landings were not a hoax.

There are Soviet Lunokhods on the Moon. Does it prove that Soviet cosmonauts landed on the Moon?

This exchange of ATS members is a good example of 'not properly understanding the other persons claims' so the debate is confused and people just get frustrated.
Let's take a real look at the Mythbusters LRRR segment. I already typed out the transcript on page 70 of this thread. If you want a real transcript go look for it yourself.
The Apollo Defenders have latched on to the idea that this Mythbusters LRRR segment 'proved Apollo'. I would advise the Apollo Defenders to give it up. Mythbusters is just a TV entertainment show. Mythbusters did NOT prove Apollo.edit on 7/22/2013 by SayonaraJupiter because: (no reason given)

the LRRR doesnt have wheels like the lunokhod's.. how do you suppose the LRRR's were able to be as they are in the photos and videos of all the apollo lunar surface missions?
hopping transforming surveyor probes with arms?

Yes. You know why? Because Hughes Aircraft had a contract for $67 million for Surveyor. It ended up costing $365 million. So yes. The "hidden" Surveyors could have big arms with big payloads that could return to earth like Luna.
And I already schooled you on the hopping surveyors so get with the program choos.
you are speculating but not providing any reasonable explaination..

Well, we can disagree about it, BUT, I think $298 million cost over-run for a $67 million Surveyor budget is a good start. If Hughes could build 7-10 Surveyors for $67 million how many did he build for $365? We can only image what kind of robotics was involved. Probably some small robots that could churn up the regolith to make it look like astronaut footpaths. Remember, choos.... Howard Hughes was very innovative. Werner von Braun was very innovative, too.edit on 7/22/2013 by SayonaraJupiter because: (no reason given)
thats still quite the fuel load.. so these are definitely not small robots.. or do you have walkers now? bi-pedal robots to churn up the lunar regolith? that can transform into wheeled robots to do the rover tracks also??

The fuel loads will not be bad, comparable to Lunokhod. I do not support bi-pedal robots. I support tracked or wheeled robots that were deployed from Surveyor spacecraft.

the amount of technology you are making these guys have is astounding.. ability to slow footage.. transforming bi-pedal robots (close to my theory now, you know the humanoid remote controlled bi-pedal super advanced robots) unlimited fuel (for hopping about and movement and return to earth), all for the budget price of $365 million.
advanced robotics of today would be in envy.. why not give them a time machine also?? they can zap to the distant future bring back technology to fake the moon landing than zap it all back... its much more simple..

LRRR is not difficult to install. It even doesn't need to be oriented precisely, because anything within 90 deg range will do. It uses the same principle as the bicycle reflector. What other equipment that absolutely requires installation by hand is there on the Moon?

So if a program runs over budget, the only excuse is they're building more of whatever? Wow, it must be nice living in that world.

The Soviet Union launched it into an elliptical low Earth orbit on October 4, 1957.
