What I am saying... is what we saw on TV in 1970 wasn't actually on the moon.
Doesn't matter, it's not like it was a lasting solution. And I've said it once I've said it a million times, since it's something still used today then it couldn't have been part of a hoax, a conspiracy, or a coverup. It doesn't matter whether your "alternative" theory is that it was a hoax or simply that the footage and story we saw were fake; both reject the original footage for false reasons. The alternative presented after the rejection is irrelevant. Both would have to reject shuttle missions for the same reasons if intellectual honesty were present. Are you saying the story given to us about STS-114 was fake?

Following a problem on the previous EVA where latches on a SAFER became detached, Kapton tape was used to ensure the latches remained closed on this EVA.[11] Kapton tape was used rather than the duct tape (which the shuttle program calls "grey tape") as it is smoother.

Oh yeah... to show that Duct Tape wasn't used on STS-114, take a look at this source.
Oh yeah... since it is something still used today... it couldn't be a hoax. Yeah, that makes sense. Guess you can go on saying it a million more times.
You know... if you gave some evidence and sources to argue, I would be more than happy to debate the issue with you.

Certainly proves that they were in a studio and that they probably hired a mechanic firm to help them set up the gear!
He said the universal fix-it tool -- duct tape -- was discussed, but quickly discarded. "Duct tape doesn't work in the vacuum of space," he told reporters at Johnson Space Center.

Oh now, come on and admit it! There is no "Moon Hoax" based on duct tape. All you did in your latest post is RE-POST a link from your OP -- one that has already been satisfactorily explained.
Shall I direct everyone's attention back to Page 1?

I'm not finding anything conclusive that says that they actually used a hack-saw made with a blade and duct tape.
From some of the sources that I found, it says that could use something like that... but was able to pull the filler or whatever kind of material out.
In addition... The maps taped together with duct-tape and clamped to the moon rover lasted 15 hours... not just one as you claim.
Saying that shuttle missions are a hoax... I'm not saying that at all.
If they used duct tape on a hacksaw for sure... then I have no problem dropping this subject entirely.
Actually, I'm looking for evidence to say that it duct tape could work in the vacuum of space and hold up to the extreme temperatures, etc...

So you are saying without a doubt... that the same duct tape that was used on the moon rover was used on the shuttle missions? Same chemical composition same adhesives...?
He cropped it to just the part reflecting the moon to make it look like it wasn't reflective at all. It's a lie...
