Apollo 15 EVAs 16 (Lunar Rover 1)

[louielouie11224]

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[stadtrade102]

Was this Rover in a box .Always wondered that .

[echozgus]

@stadtrade102 check wikipedia Lunar roving vehicle.

[aigg]

Somebody actually got to do that....just imagine! Somebody actually gets to say to their grandchildren: "You know kid, there was a time when grandpa was drivin' around on the moon. No no, i'm serious". Now, that's inspiring beyond belief!

[alknowshow]

@Neuwert that's because the moon is 1/6 the size of the earth, and as such the horizon appears 6 times closer

[Abensberg]

damn... that looks scary

wouldnt like to be alone on that planet :D

[patemansmith1]

nehehehehe the moon looks epic :D

[andrewc247]

everytime i look at this i cant help but hear the "Benny Hill" theme in my head, i would love a go of that rover!!!

[Titegroup45]

In 2007, Japan sent an orbiter to the Moon to map out the terrain. Take a look at this picture (remove the spaces):

w w w .universetoday. c o m/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/l­s15.jpg

The photo on the right was taken by an astronaut on the Moon. The one on the left side is a computer generated image of what the same spot should look like according to the Japanese Kaguya Orbiter. They match up exactly!

[ScarringProductions]

K how bout this if lunar landing was a hoax russia would of claimed the moon and then we could not go there again until the fall of communism so yeah

[YDDES]

@Neuwert Can You please be more specific about what probes, when they sent the photos and where to find those images. Thank You!

[4Freddz]

Just let them live and believe that the moon-landing was fake, while the rest of us can live and know that it happened and how great we humans are

[rogerpenna]

@4Freddz

"how great we humans are"

... usually :)

[loperspest]

@frontenginedragsterd

Fun fact: The Soviet Union sent unmanned probes to the moon, including rovers.

Correcting for perspective of the panoramas and taking into account these were transmitted while Apollo was film, the images transmitted look like Apollo images of the moon.

mentallandscape*com/C_CatalogM­oon*htm

So we do have something to compare Apollo to, and it backs Apollo findings.

[TheJomogogo]

@Neuwert

What does that mean?

[TheJomogogo]

@Neuwert

No I haven't noticed it and neither have you..freeze frame at :35 and LOOK at how far off the mountains appear.

[LLnuLLy]

This is made with green screen kind effects not on moon.

[NelielTuOderswank]

@LLnuLLy It was on the moon, get over it, no one is buying your book.

[LLnuLLy]

@NelielTuOderswank watch?v=Lwgcedb2PX8

[NelielTuOderswank]

@LLnuLLy You sir, are a retard.

[LLnuLLy]

@NelielTuOderswank Moron

[TheJomogogo]

@LLnuLLy

They didn't have green screen computer animation in 1969 you idiot.

[muslimsDontDrink]

hadley stage back drop how flat is it?

[detibry]

i want to take an electric dirt bike on the moon

[bullshitdetective1]

this is area 51!!

[DaBoogie049]

does the quartermile in 5 minutes hehe! but it can do a wheelie... as long it does it on the moon

[punished1134]

id say 50% was real and 50% was fake studio footage. but opinions are like a butthole...everybody has one.

[Wargrin]

@punished1134 Doesn't make much sense to stage 50% and discredit the whole mission when the other 50% is actually genuine. Makes more sense to have 100% genuine footage.

[selllout101]

Maybe the video was Fast Forwarded... did that ever cross your mind?

[nosajj12345]

F*** all moon landing hoaxers. You guys are about as obtuse as they come.

[norjop]

Llega un turismo a un pueblo y el conductor le pregunta a un transeunte:

- Perdone, ¿la salida del pueblo?

Siiii, aquella con gafas.

[norjop]

Debido a la ausencia de atmósfera en la Luna, no se formaba ninguna polvareda, sino que las finas partículas eyectadas por los gases del módulo seguían una trayectoria perfectamente parabólica durante unos segundos hasta caer unos metros más allá. Lo anteriormente dicho puede comprobarse en cualquiera de los vídeos de los alunizajes

[MicaelaAlmodovar]

The lunar soil is not so clear in fact albedo

is about 7% ! That isn´t moon powder!

That´s not the moon at all!

[mercatormac]

That's the average albedo.

[chillosoph1984]

very simple... they have had a compass which they can use on the moon with the moons magnetic pole

[Beamshipcaptain]

The moon's magnetic field is very weak.

[guesser7]

Hold on Buddy, how can they be heading back to the LEM following the same tracks, when they are actually heading away from the LEM?

[pjwarez]

"how can they be heading back to the LEM following the same tracks, when they are actually heading away from the LEM?"

How do you know they are heading away from LEM? Even if they were, why couldn't they be revisiting a site they've already been to?

[sverebom]

Because the way there and way back are the same. They simply returned on the same path they approached.

[mars4ever]

Obviously! They had to go back in the same way, otherwise it would have been very difficult to find the LEM! :D They didn't have GPS or navigator! lol

Pity this video has no audio. :(

[ostec2]

as i watch this i wonder why there are already tire tracks on the ground ?

[rochelimit55555]

Apollo 15 is the best mission of all Apollo mission I belief. They landed close to a rima and they venture far, climbing up hill, look at a 2000 m mountain, and looking into an ancient lava channel.

[Fijnstein]

Hey... what happened to all the stars??? Cloudy day? CIA stole them? WTF???

[ellhow]

The stars are too dim compared to the landscape for the camera to pick them up.

[robto]

There were no stars because they landed always in daylight. Because of the shining sun the stars couldnt be detected.

[Beamshipcaptain]

Try taking a video tonight of the night sky. The stars don't show up, but planets that are really bright sometimes do. In films, if they want stars at night, they must be optically added.

[TheJomogogo]

Je-ZUS...fijnstein "where are the stars" that's been addressed and explained so many times {since the first mission at the time) that only a retarded idiot would keep bringing it up. Fuckass stupid.

[cripplewoox]

mount hadley sure is beutifull

[casio124478]

How can any reasonably intelligent human watch that and believe it is the moon?

I give up, I really do.

[loperspest]

Really? Then what WOULD the moon look like? What is it about this landscape that makes you say it can't be the moon?

[pjwarez]

"Really? Then what WOULD the moon look like?"

Exactly! How the fuck would anyone of these Hoax believing nut-bars even know what the moon is supposed to look like anyway? What are you comparing it to in order to decide that it's fake? Have YOU BEEN TO THE MOON??

casio - do you even notice the speed that the rover is moving at? What do you think, that they shot this is some sound studio that is 20 miles long and 15 miles wide??? Get a clue!

[ingareinar007]

Good point!

[youvebeenthunderstru]

Actually, the vehicle didn't move all that fast, much slower than cars, but your point is still valid. Fuck moon landing conspiracy theorists.

[pjwarez]

"... the vehicle didn't move all that fast"

My point wasn't to indicate that the Rover was moving quickly. It was it was the amount of distance traveled in relation to the background and the length of the recording itself. In order for this shot to have been taken in some secret sound stage (as the hoax-tards claim) the said studio would have needed to be about the same size as the one imagined for the movie "The Truman Show." Which also DIDN'T EXIST!

[TheHotelMoxa]

@youvebeenthunderstru I believe that the top speed was 19 km per Hour

[rogerpenna]

@loperspest

it doesnt look like Star Wars. Therefore its fake. Thats their mindset.

[loperspest]

@rogerpenna Pretty much, yes.

[Dogmeat1950]

i'm sorry your a weak minded person casio, an ya wewent to the Moon and were going back along with China an Russia. o ya an google is sending a rover to take a pic of the former landing sites

[Rob260259]

Casio, you are seriously getting PWNED here.

In 1969 US astronauts went to the moon and landed there. Like it or not.

[yesiamawizardjonny]

@casio124478 I know, seriously...

[ingareinar007]

It reminds me of "Hans and Grete", when they put down white stones to find their way back home.. Anyway, a fantastic scenery this video!

[ingareinar007]

That must be the greatest drive ever!

[loperspest]

Most certainly the most off the beaten track, that much is certain. ;)

[ingareinar007]

Hehe, sure ;)

Even driving the "Thrust SSC" is lame compared to this! A bit slower though, 18 km/hr? Two wheels in the turns!

[dookiesmile]

Is this footage reversed? It seems that there are tire tracks that the vehicle is following!
