do you seriously expect us to believe that your going except photos from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter as proof of anything artificial....
for the sake of debate,, lets both say that the Apollo program never exsist & there was no record of Man ever being on the Moon...then I show you a photo from LRO and say "heres proof Man has been on the Moon" .....Your most likely response is thats just a rock,,its just a trick of light & shadow ,,it doesnt prove anything....
So,,in other words... if LRO photos dont meet the standard of proof that something other than the apollo missions is artificial on the Moon...then it should not be used as a standard of proof for apollo either...

Here is your mobot SJ:
I know. That's a big mobot. The prototype early version. It would never fit inside an Apollo Command module like that. But I never claimed it could. Obviously, the Mobot will evolve over a period of 10 years.. it will get smaller. Just like computers evolved over 10 years.... they got smaller. Or are you going to falsely use that 1959 image of Mobot to justify your ongoing ignorance of Hughes involvement with Apollo???
OBM you are interested in satellites, yes? Have you ever seen "Ice Station Zebra (1968)" which depicts the recovery of top secret films dropped from orbit by a top secret satellite... the film is picked up by a top secret submarine mission to the Arctic station.
Richard Nixon screened Ice Station Zebra on May 22, 1970 at Camp David. According to sources, it was one of Howard Hughes' favorite films and he screened it dozens of times. Maybe you should try to find a dvd so you can study the movie... and get the DVD with the special feature titled "The Man Who Makes the Difference" which features the ex-Navy camera man who developed the submersible camera capsule used to film the world's first full focus submarine dive.
Maybe you misunderestimate the ability of Hollywood and Hughes to build a remote control camera arm that could be used inside an unmanned capsule in 1969. There is nothing difficult about it.... remote control TV eyes had been used on Surveyor by the Americans 1966-1967 and on Lunokhod by the Russians in 1970.
It's so easy even the Russians could do it.

Ill be waiting for picture or video of a mobot on the moon let me know when you find it.

Let us know when you can tell who took this picture? It will be never a straight answer!

December 19, 1972. All the proof you need.
Where is your proof?

For free:
DIck Gordon.
Why? because he was the only one who wore a watch on his right hand.
Enhance the image above by adjusting levels and sharpening and what do you get:

If you can claim you can identify a strawbot in the picture, I'm claiming that's Gordon's watch.

Good spot.
No doubt SJ will claim that the robot arm was fitted with a wristwatch as well as a spacesuit sleeve, for added verisimilitude...

The suit is also not likely to be the full suit as you've shown, more likely to be like the one modelled by Conrad here
as featured in the 16mm footage, in space archive.org...

Wow you mean there were actual astronauts on board and not a giant robot who would have thought? So im sure they had the giant robot merely look like people they were actually advanced androids from the year 2199 that Nixon time traveled to steal the technology. Because hes trying to hide some big secret on the moon and cant have people actually go there. Or i guess the alternative is we sent three astronauts to the moon hmm which is easier to pull of i wonder.

Probably a timeulator

To be fair it's speculative - that circle could equally be the lens from a Hasselblad, or it could be pareidolia.
The suit is also not likely to be the full suit as you've shown, more likely to be like the one modelled by Conrad here
as featured in the 16mm footage, in space archive.org...
Notice that the US Flag patch is on the left shoulder. There is nothing on the right arm, as shown in the window reflection photo.
Here's an interesting one:
Conrad shielding the Gordon's Hasselblad. Note Gordon's watch on his right wrist. You can see it in several clips, he obviously wore his Omega Speedmaster all the time.
Notice also that two identifiable Apollo 12 astronauts are seen floating around in zero G conditions in cislunar space.

Yes I was wondering about that - at what times did the astronauts wear the suits and when were they in "shirt sleeves"? From the photos, they wore the full suits for take-off, but would they have worn them at all after reaching orbit, e.g during the translunar coast when that photo would have been taken?
004:37:40 Conrad: No, no, we'll just stay put. We're getting hungry, and I think we're going to start getting out of these suits and eat in a little bit here.

The cast and crew spent many difficult weeks on location, and in addition Hughes later shipped 60 tons of dirt back to Hollywood in order to match the Utah terrain and lend verisimilitude to studio re-shoots.
