Why is this thread even still alive?
I am almost positive the erroneous claim in the OP was dismantled on the first page.

Well this ain't horse shoes son.
Them thar suits ain't even capable of keepin a moon turd viable.
Viable enough to be analyzed when brought back from space.
ljb
Why is it you keep mentioning space turds?
I must be missing something.
Honestly
Well, if the suits are as functional as depicted by some here, and NASA
has a real TASTE for science. Then I thought the acceptors of the landing theories would post up the results of moon turd tests.
If they did I would feel better about a potential MAXIE lie.
You do see that if the poop was carefully packaged and delivered to the earth scientists who were waiting with bated breath for moon rocks and regolith.
They should have prepared a report on the effects of the moon trip on Neil and Buzz's digestive system. Right down to the very last dingle berry and it's atomic structure.
Comprende???

PS and all the other supposed missions.
[113] .....NASA implemented a program with three objectives: preventing contamination of the lunar surface by human biological wastes, preventing contamination of the space capsule by astronauts returning from the lunar surface, and preventing contamination of the Earth's biosphere.18
To avoid contamination of the lunar surface, three vectors of contamination had to be contained: waste products (feces, urine, and residual food), terrestrial microorganisms released during lunar-landing module depressurization, and microorganisms present in the lunar module waste water system. Their containment posed an engineering problem-and meant that additional weight had to be lifted from the lunar surface. It was finally decided that the only feasible procedure would be to collect all wastes in special bags that would be stored in the equipment bay of the lunar module descent stage (which would remain on the lunar surface). These bags were not expected to leak, but if they did it was expected that the leakage would remain contained within the descent stage.

Like ILLLUSTRONICS says put a lid on it and I like the pun.
1- NASA wasted an Amazing opportunity for science.
2- At least one so called NASA expert here said they brought that crap back to earth.
My intention was not to go on about this. It was merely expressing my understanding of how complex JUST the suit has to be in relationship to the entire complexity of an impossible mission.

I would never pay money for badly researched NASA propaganda.
I provided you with a link to on online copy of the entire thing.
www.scribd.com...
By the end of production, at least 105 A7L suits had beenproduced.
In NASA's patent of the A7L Apollo pressure suit that would come later (ref.No. 3,721,727), NASA acknowledged ILC Industries (formerly International Latex) employees Lenard F. Shepard, George P. Durney, Melvin C. Case, A.J. Kenneway,Robert C. Wise, Dixie Rinehart, Ronald J. Bessette and Richard C. Pulling and the ILC organization for their technical contributions to Apollo.
As the A7LB suit progressed in development, its manufacturer experienced a change in identity. International Latex Corporation was founded in Dover, Delaware, in 1937 and quickly grew to a diverse corporation. In 1947, International Latex split into four separate divisions. By 1955, the Metals Division had had been renamed the Specialty Products Division and had become involved in pressure suit development. During the 1960s, International Latex had been acquired by a larger corporation, which was subsequently merged with yet another. In January 1969, the parent corporation made the Specialty Products Division a separate organization named ILC Industries and sold 30% of its holdings to the public. ILC stayed in the Dover Delaware area supporting the Apollo and subsequent space programs without interruption. In 1982, the remaining 70% of ILC shares would be publicly sold,severing all ties with International Latex.
In 1966, the USAF also explored International Latex suit technology. In 1965,NASA had evaluated Apollo-type pressure suits from all the same manufacturers that the USAF was considering for MOL. International Latex had won the Apollo competition to become the Block II suit supplier. In 1966, the USAF had purchased a limited quantity of International Latex ``Evaluation Suits'' that were based on the Apollo A5L.
If NASA owns the patent for the A7L I don't understand why there would still be, in 2012, "classified information" about space suits that was "too difficult and expensive" to de-classify.
And it should be noted "Lenard F. Shepard" is actually "Leonard Frank Shepard" who lied in court about his MIT credentials and it was reported in the news papers of the day.
This resulted in a dual stream of US government funding to privately owned, Israeli-American space suit parts manufacturer, International Latex.

They left all waste on the moon for takeoff reasons. Curious only one is full of #. They also left functioning cameras and all extra weight unnecessary for the trip home.
The main objective was to return.
I could have answered your crap questions on the second page, but was so uninterested in the (well known storage/disposal) compartments on the dual-purposes landing craft, I thought it would fade and only thought the core reason you even mention such is to somehow gutter the topic.
Which is really all you do with your education, Why?
Schematics and text covers that without all of the hillbilly prose.

AHA! But Farouk al Baz was Egyptian! How does he fit in now?
Edward Nixon said one of the greatest lessons he took from his brother was learned from Richard Nixon’s final book, Beyond Peace. “Never presume anything until you hear what others have to say, learn why they are what they are,” he summarized. “You may not like what they say, but don’t decide it beforehand.” Source www.law.duke.edu...

Well thar son so nizze ta see ya haz cum round.
Bests latr than neva. Ya seee it dont rekwire all thos fancy ski matic and texes
Ta git ta tha hart of tHangs. Ma pre-k eduksun tell that it is in that thar
LUNAR LANDER is war the difficulty comes in.
20 layer suits wif packs and rocks all piled in dat tiny weeny place.
2 space guys tryn to get thar diapers off wif out makin hoel in them suits.
Wha hapens when tha bump a swicch and start thee rockets goin on misstak?
Ore thay foget ta zip sum zipR or velcrow. It coud risk thar lifes goin back out on the desert. Jus caus you don get it arnt no reason ta be ornery.

So because living in outer space is risky, it didn't happen?
I'm not sure if I can follow your thought process correctly.
Because you, personally, are afraid to take risks, or make due with living in a small space for a week, the entire moon landing could not have possibly happened? Have I got that right?
