And no one has given the reason for the change in plans by NASA, they were telling people on the earth they would have moon bases by the 21st Century! LOL..

Firstly, how can you call the Saturn V a "fire belching pile of old Space Junk"? It's the biggest, most powerful rocket ever built. It's an amazing piece of machinery.
Secondly, you referred to the Lunar Module as being "over engineered". How can you say something like that when you clearly know very little about LM and its design. You don't even know where they kept the Rover. So could you please explain why you think it's over engineered?
As for the Rover, it was stored in the decent module (the bottom half). Not up top with the astronauts. To me, your disbelief in the Apollo missions seems to be due to the fact that you know very little about them. Now I'm more then happy to discuss and debate the subject, but I think you should also be reading up on this stuff youreslf. Just a few minutes of googling would have answered your questions about where the Rover was stored, for example.

The reason is pretty simple. A lack of money. NASA had a large budget durring the 60's, but it was cut down a lot near the end of the Apollo missions (due to a lack of poltical and public interest). Which is why the last three Apollo missions were cancelled and no Lunar bases built.
But again, I suggest that you do some research about the missions yourself. I know that there's a ton of information to cover, but the more you learn about it, the less unbelievable it should become.
How can you make that statement? Have you anything real to back it up or that is just what you feel?

I guess being a manufacturer of Electric Quad Bikes and Small electric cars, No I guess I don't know much do I....
How many Electric Quad bikes did you manufacture this week????
However I will look into it more when I find the time, as it is Not really a priority at this stage!!!!!
Ingo Swann on Moon Water
"As to the lunar atmosphere, the American Geophysical Union recently indicated that although "conventional wisdom says the Moon is devoid of atmosphere, and in layman's terms this may be close enough to the truth, the space just above the lunar surface is not a total vacuum." (See: AGU Release No.98-26, 17 Aug 98.)
"As to the water, it is said to be in the form of ice, mostly at the poles and buried about half a meter beneath the lunar surface.
"The estimates are impressive regarding how much of it there is: some six billion metric tons. This is said to be enough to sustain upwards of 100,000 lunar colonists for a century and also provide a fuel source of oxygen and hydrogen for Moonbases and space travel.
"While this is exciting news, if the evidence is taken into account for earlier-known lunar clouds and mists clearly visible in some official released photos of the 1960s, then one cannot think that ALL of the lunar water is only in the form of sub-surface ice."

Ingo Swann on Moon Atmosphere
"There is, of course, no doubt that the lunar atmosphere is not like the Earth's. But even if more tenuous and not as thick, the lunar atmosphere now OFFICIALLY exists, as does the lunar water.
"Thus,the UNOFFICIAL sources of the past that have referred to the existence of lunar water and atmosphere have turned out not only to be correct, but ironically vindicate their authors.
"Official NASA photos that clearly show lunar clouds and mists have been available all along - dating especially from the days of the Lunar Orbiters and manned Apollo craft."
(Ingo Swann, "Penetration: The Question of Extraterrestrial and Human Telepathy", 1998)
An unmistakable Mackerel type cloud bank can easy be identified just off the crater Vitello (NASA Lunar Orbiter V photo, No. MR 168).
A very large cloud bank hangs over the rim of a crater in Mare Moscovience on the Moon’s backside (NASA Lunar Orbiter V photo, No. HR 1033).
Two large cloud banks are seen hugging the edge of crater Lobachavsky (NASA Apollo 16 photo, No. 16-758). But most remarkable and quite clear in this photo is a large, undeniably round object poised near the top of the crater wall, and casting a dark shadow down-slope. This is not a dome that might be a natural formation. It is a round object, or structure, circular in all dimensions. It reminds one of a golf ball sitting neatly on a tee.
NASA Apollo 11 photo, No. 11-37-5438 - clearly showing a luminous cylindrical-shaped object in flight above the lunar surface and exhibiting an high-altitude contrail.
NASA Apollo 16 photo. No. 16-19238 - clearly showing a rather enormous, luminous cigar-shaped or cylindrical object casting its shadow on the lunar surface.

No such image ID. Maybe someone can figure out what he's talking about.
The Tire inner frame prevents excessive deflection of the outer wire mesh frame under high impact load conditions.
