In that case mate, I do apologize.
Now, since you have seen it, and firmly belief that it is indeed "twaddle", might you possibly elaborate a little upon it? I bookmarked this to view later, but, if it is indeed BS, I do not want to waste my time.

Each of these lunar modules was a unique one shot, throw away type deal and yet attention to the slightest detail and the skill of the people who assembled each of these by hand, plus the subassembly contractors for all the switches, and connectors, etc. is just mind boggling. There was not a lot of redundancy nor any room for error in assembly, test or inspection of these myriad functions required to simply descend and ascend from the surface of the moon (not simple).
One loose wire jarred by launch, one moist contact deep in a switch or relay, and some critical function is the reason why the whole mission comes crashing down, so to speak. This never happened with all the LMs and that is just amazing to me. It also is indicative of the kind of well trained and highly skilled personnel back then.
Following insertion into Earth orbit, there was quite a bit of debris floating around
the cabin. This contamination consisted of small screws, fasteners, ends trimmed from wiring,
and general trash. The quantity of this cabin debris remained constant throughout the
mission.

THAT is my problem and THAT is why it won't die

I think everyone relying on the motor to return them to Earth would have preferred that the motor that they were flying with could have been tested. They couldn't test fire it... adding an element of risk to a key piece of equipment required to return them home. I'm not sure why you are arguing with me over the point I was making that was not addressed to you in the first place. No need to reply... I'm done adding to this tin foil hat thread.

If you say, the sky is black on the moon, so stars should be visible ... and the claim of "sunlight" appears, its futile to try and point out the atmospheric luminating constant into the fact. Because it's not a question of argument ... it's a question of belief.
If you could turn off the atmosphere's ability to scatter overwhelming sunlight, today's daytime sky might look something like this ... with the Sun surrounded by the stars of the constellations Taurus and Gemini.

A total solar eclipse is the only time you could glimpse other stars in the sky with the Sun.
So if that is what the sky should look like from Earth without the atmosphere effect, then why is it pitch black with no stars on the moon?
3.) The flag waving in the wind where there's supposed to be no wind. There are scenes where nobody is touching the flag, yet it is moving. Very curious and suspicious.

If the moan landing were a hoax the Russians would have been quite vocal about it by now, instead of congratulating NASA for it.
Would have thought they would remember if there were stars in the sky, wouldnt it be the first thing to look for?

Not me, I'd be looking at the surface of the Moon. After all, I've been looking at the stars all my life.
But the statement is quite clear that they could see no stars while on the surface.
