This thread is very much about being creative in a sense.
How would one go about "solving" for star star selection, North Atlantic Mid March, midnight vs North China Sea, Early December 9 am ?
How is it that they were and are so confident this stuff works, never tested, not all up, but once, yes ONCE ! ?
Answer; the US manned space programs have served in this capacity, to provide the requisite cover for testing. You wouldn't build this stuff without testing it now would ya' ?
the first US missile submarine, successfully launched the first Polaris missile from a submerged submarine on July 20, 1960.
Only once in the context of the Fish Bowl launches
One experiment, the passive seismometer left behind at the Apollo 12 landing site, did achieve important results from Apollo 13. Despite the problems the crew encountered during the rest of the mission, the Apollo 13 SIVB stage, the first programmed to strike the Moon, accomplished its job by landing some eighty-five miles from the Apollo 12 ALSEP. The seismometer received strong signals, and the impact had so much energy-estimated to be the equivalent of twelve tons of TNT (larger than the LM ascent stage impact because of its greater mass and higher velocity at impact)-that it sent seismic waves deep into the lunar crust. This elated Gary Latham, the passive seismometer PI, because he and his coinvestigators could now make some preliminary estimates about the Moon's deep structure.
Furthermore, shallow moonquakes lasted a remarkably long time. Once they got going, all continued more than 10 minutes. "The moon was ringing like a bell," Neal says.
On Earth, vibrations from quakes usually die away in only half a minute. The reason has to do with chemical weathering, Neal explains: "Water weakens stone, expanding the structure of different minerals. When energy propagates across such a compressible structure, it acts like a foam sponge—it deadens the vibrations." Even the biggest earthquakes stop shaking in less than 2 minutes.
The moon, however, is dry, cool and mostly rigid, like a chunk of stone or iron. So moonquakes set it vibrating like a tuning fork. Even if a moonquake isn't intense, "it just keeps going and going," Neal says. And for a lunar habitat, that persistence could be more significant than a moonquake's magnitude.
flashy cover for something else altogether ?

This thread's origin is a point of fact, that fact being that Apollo's fraudulence has been incontrovertibly demonstrated by way of the program's bogus medical illnesses. We know with unmitigated metaphysical certitude that Apollo was/is fraudulent based on;
1) The undeniable fact that contrary to NASA's claims, Ken Mattingly was never genuinely at risk to acquire German measles just before the flight of Apollo 13 as alleged by Apollo/NASA medical principals
2) The undeniable fact that contrary to NASA's claims, Alan Shepard's Meniere's Disease was never cured by way of a William House 1968/1969 shunt surgery
3) The undeniable fact that contrary to NASA's claims, Deke Slayton's alleged paroxysmal atrial fibrillation was not cured by way of vitamin therapy nor was it cured by way of no therapy whatsoever
4) The undeniable fact that contrary to NASA's claims, Frank Borman was never really ill in cislunar space with viral gastroenteritis during the course of Apollo 8's alleged trans lunar coast
AS ONE KNOWS ALL OF APOLLO TO BE PROVEN FRAUDULENT BASED ON THESE FACTS, AND BY FRAUDULENT HERE ONE MEANS APOLLO WAS NOT A PROGRAM WHICH SOUGHT TO AND SUCCEEDED IN LANDING MEN UPON THE SURFACE OF THE MOON, THEN ONE MAY CONCLUDE WITH UTTER CONFIDENCE THAT APOLLO WAS AN OVERT COVER FOR AMERICAN SPACE BASED MILITARY ACTIVITIES, ACTIVITIES PROSCRIBED BY WAY OF NATIONAL LAW, INTERNATIONAL LAW/TREATY, AND/OR PUBLIC/CONGRESSIONAL OPINION.
This thread begins from this point. This is our given. I do not claim to know the nature of the nefarious military activities for which Apollo covered. I know only that the activities in some general sense sought to and succeeded in weaponizing/militarizing space. The Russians had a similar program and succeeded roughly to an equivalent degree in this regard. Both countries sought to and succeeded by way of their space programs to develop then state of the art space based surveillance/reconnaissance/terrestrial locating and tracking systems, ever improving systems which aided in ICBM/SLBM tracking/targeting/performance and ever improving space shuttle and manned orbital lab type capacities. These programs were developed in part under the guise of Apollo.

what were they using Apollo as a cover for ?
Look out over the terrain here sputniksteve. This is the highly speculative world of the Skunk Works. Uncertainty is assumed.
