As someone who understands about these things, could you please be more specific about the bad design decisions made by makers of the Moon buggies?
Thanks.

The retroreflectors left on the moon would disagree. That's pretty solid evidence right there.

Just one more question, do you know if (and which) the technological alternatives were available at the time they designed to rovers?
I am not, obviously, talking about design changes, but the type of alternatives that you, for example, would use today if you were to build something like this.

I am just curious why anyone would be so convinced that we did go to the moon. It all boils down to the word of the United States government in the end. Nobody believes them about anything else, but they believe them about this for no reason other than they said so?

Did you track it with a telescope or have you just seen pics and heard stuff?
Have had this moon stuffs? Did you get to analyze the material?
How about those HAM radio transmissions? How do you know they came from the moon and not just orbit?
See, it still all boils down to what you have been told.
As far as all the companies that worked on it...I never said none of this stuff was ever built. I never said the government did not waste tons of tax dollars on it. Did I say there was no LEM? Did I say we never went to space? No.

Maybe because they were tracking the Moon itself and not an object in orbit. Just think about it for a second. Have you ever watched the ISS fly by? It's only visible for about 5 seconds because it's in orbit and constantly flying around the Earth. Any one with a HAM radio would realize really quickly if the signal wasn't coming from the Moon. Getting roughly 5 seconds of audio every 90mins or so, yeah no one would notice that at all

Unfortunately that is still other people's word for it. You were not tracking it, who was? Where are they all? I'd like to meet with them and ask if they don't know the difference between stationary orbit or geosynchronous orbit.
Do you know the difference between the two?

or was it india?
