The boys at JPL would have killed for your mobot arm.The robotic arm they envisioned was beyond their scope at the time.
Mate I thought you were trying to explain to me earlier that JPL were the "big boys". Don't you think the "big boys" ever saw one of HH's mobots? The Mobot was no secret, Hughes even made publicity out of it, in 1959!
Here's that article I posted earlier, notice the date, April of 1959. Are you admitting the JPL was too stupid to look at the Mobot design in the newspaper and figure out how to build a remote controlled arm, with a camera mount, equipped with a Hasselblad camera?

Yeah the real problem with that was weight trying to get a mobot on the moon when it was the size of a forklift and weighed as much. See rockets have weight limits you want to stay below funny huh?

An interesting quote in the article:
"Gathering samples on the moon while scientists controlling it relaxed in the relative comfort of a rocket ship"
Kind of suggests that the 'remote' bit actually means either "attached by wires" and/or "not very far from a person".
Hearsay testimony with no corroboration.

I agree, and Stanislav Pokrovsky PhD does as well in regards to the Apollo 11 Saturn V.
He claims Apollo 11 was underpowered to reach the moon.

It is interesting, mostly for the massive number of assumptions the author (whoever he is) makes. He doesn't seem to take accounr of the reduced mass of the rocket as it burns fuel, and doesn't seem to know what the long pointy thing on tbe nose of the CSM is.
The comments after are also interesting, as it reiterates the nonsense about the image of earth taped to a window.
This ridiculous and has been debunked thoroughly, not keast by me showing tbat the image in the window contains a storm only visible on launch day on a whole esrth image you just can't get from LEO.
You also get the feeling tnat they think robots snd tne related equipment and power sources don't weigh anything, but astronauts snd food would have been crippingly heavy.
Would this alleged phd have got onto aulis if he had proven the saturn v was genuinely taking people to orbit? No, I think not.

I posted from my tablet yesterday, hence the bad spelling and missing words. I also tried posting this but it failed on me:
Pokrovsky claims to have a PhD but we have no evidence for it, and the 'paper' we are given is not in a refereed journal, so as authoritative as it comes across it hasn't been verified. Two papers are given at the Aulis site and referred to as if they are completely different entities, but one is a re-write of the other (he says so in the 2nd paper).
He is cited as being the General Director of the scientific-manufacturing enterprise "Project-D-MSK", but you will find no reference on the internet to that company other than on websites stroking his ego. His basic premise (and he says so in his paper) is that the Saturn V is not capable, and he sets out to prove it.
He's also been peddling his 'measure things from a TV screen' nonsense for some time, and real rocket scientists aren't as impressed by him. You can read JayUtah's views here:

If people disagree with JU's arguments, then they should present their maths.
I have a general rule of thumb. If you research a theory or an individual and the only references you get to them are on conspiracy sites, you can pretty much guarantee that it is BS. Google this guy's name and you get the apollohoax site dismantling his arguments and a whole bunch of conspiracy sites who like him.
Funny how places that usually dismiss 'mainstream science' and distrust the scientific establishment will latch on like a hungry leech to someone with 'PhD' after their name because it lends credibility to their argument. Well, I have that too, and my website proves we went to the moon. Who you gonna call?

Can the ubermonkey Jay Utah use math to prove that Pete Conrad was in cis-lunar space during the Apollo 12 mission? It's a lot of hocus pocus if you ask me. Jay relies on NASA source material, he picks and chooses his source material, and fact remains that the telemetry tapes are gone forever. Who you gonna call now?
Mythbusters? Phil Plait?
Can you prove that Pete Conrad was in cis-lunar space? No, you can't. Stop your posturing and prove that!
What is your prime piece of evidence? Pete's personal testimony? Or do you have hard proof?

I know weight has been a sensitive issue for you Apollo Defenders. I also know that the Hasseblad camera weights would not have jeopardized the mission but the cameras, THE EVIDENCE, of fraud was conveniently and unceremoniously dumped off on the lunar surface... all of them... Oh no. All except one.
Jim Irwin's Hasselbad malfunctioned at Dune Crater. It was brought back to Earth. Now nobody can find it.
When Irwin brought back his Hasselbad it proved that weight was not a serious consideration for dumping all those cameras at the landing sites.... they had to dump the cameras on the "moon" because they were EVIDENCE that could lead to the discovery of the Howard Hughes operation.
It's now 2013 the Arizona State University is erasing the cross-hairs from Apollo images with NASA's OK.
It's now 2013 there are Keep Out Zones at the Apollo landing sites. Why?
Because if somebody looked closely at the Apollo landing sites they would not find any Hasselblad cameras.
That's my story. I'm sticking to it.
Ok what happens in your story next i do hope it has aliens i do so love science fiction!

It's funny that you would mention science fiction because that's my favorite quote from Charles Bolden...
he's gonna turn science fiction into science fact!

what do you expect to learn from cameras when cameras record everything on film and the film has been returned??
also why are you comparing the mass of several cameras and several pounds of lunar rocks with the mass of a mobot which would be over a tonne?

its a precaution, the more fuel you save the more you leave yourself for when something goes wrong.. but ofcourse NASA is not incompetent at all, they would never make a mistake so there is absolutely no need for such precautions..
It's now 2013 the Arizona State University is erasing the cross-hairs from Apollo images with NASA's OK.
even though millions of pre-edited images are kept privately.. im sure NASA will somehow erase those images.. because NASA is omnipotent..
It's now 2013 there are Keep Out Zones at the Apollo landing sites. Why?
to shoot down satellites/probes that try to reach the moon with communication lasers, like what they did to chandrayaan and chang'e 3.. oh wait..
Because if somebody looked closely at the Apollo landing sites they would not find any Hasselblad cameras.
That's my story. I'm sticking to it.
because NASA will shoot at any satellite/probe/rover that attempts to land on the moon with their communication laser right??
