i watched this video ( in silence) looked well slow motion is the word and dust just fell to the ground did not look like 1/6 earths gravity how did the get the car there is what i google but interesting i never seen this footage before
@SeberHusky Because we haven't been back since Apollo 17. The push into space had stalled and our generation are letting down our race, too busy debating if they even went. When will we wake up? Mars is staring us in the face while we argue and fight amongst ourselves.
As the rover was let down from the bay most of the deployment was automatic. The rear wheels folded out & locked in place & when they touched the ground the front of the rover could be unfolded, the wheels deployed, & the entire frame let down to the surface by pulleys.
The rover components locked into place upon opening. Cabling, pins, & tripods would then be removed & the seats & footrests raised. After switching on all the electronics the vehicle was ready to back away from the LM
Deployment of the LRV from the LM quad 1 by the astronauts was achieved with a system of pulleys & braked reels using ropes & cloth tapes. The rover was folded & stored in quad 1 with the underside of the chassis facing out. One astronaut would climb the egress ladder on the LM & release the rover, which would then be slowly tilted out by the second astronaut on the ground through the use of reels & tapes.
pretty amazing for 1960's tech. We could have used NASA's ingenuity to get a usable electric car in the 70's not the 2000's. The modern electric car needs a sizable battery. Where is the 1960's battery on the lunar rover? Seems to have a fair amount of torque, which is something we're just now getting with modern electrics. But you are right, none of that seems strange.
that is mount hadley were seeing in the background,11000 feet tall,its probably miles away from were they are driving,you cant scale distance well on the moon due to no objects
It sort of "popped out" and unfolded from a compartment in the bottom part of the lander. I think they pulled a rope and it unfolded. There may have been some adjustments etc, but it was mostly together.
there are a few videos on Youtube showing it. There is a video of a test on Earth of the moon buggy assembling, and there is a timelapse on the moon of the buggy being taken off the spacecraft and then assembled.
@rogerpenna yes thanx 4 the reply its been a while since i commented on this and since have seen the footage u talk bout. But again appreciate your suggestions.
Even as a kid, I never understood why there were Lunar Buggy tracks were already visible at 3:05 to 5:00. Seems like the Buggy was traveling a premade path or route it had traveled before. If this is the first time we were on the moon, shouldn't there should be no tracks??? or did they actually refilm a route they traveled on the moon? or was it ALL faked and they forgot to cover up the tracks and the filming on earth. Maybe with the newly discovered footage from Austraia we will find out...
They were only allowed to drive no farther then walking distance from the Lunar Lander, in case the rover broke down. So the astronauts drove as far as they could then back tracked. I can not understand you conspiracy theorists always trying to debunk the greatest achievement in human history.
@endlesswick Do you call that an achievement? Any body can fool republicans for 41 years infact more. All you need is an emotional issue attached to being a "real" american.
the moon landings (all 6 of them) real. belief in fakery is based on ignorance of how it was done. do your homework. dont listen to idiots who dont know better.
It's hard to get a sense of scale. 3:00 we see a mountain in the distance, but it could also be a hill. In these footages there are already tracks visible in the sand, as if the moonbuggy is on it's way back.
Not fake. Anyone who doesn't believe moon landings are real... are you too scared to leave your home? the universe is bigger than your back yard, yokels.
The buggy came out of the bottom section of the LEM, a complicated folding mechanism that lowered down and then unfolded. They used a pulley system mostly.

How did the rover transmit images or video from the "moon's" surface? You would need to adjust the antennas angle continuously to point towards earth.
I think they put the umbrella type antenna on that rover to make it look pretty.

It was difficult to judge distance or location. So they were probably following their previous tracks back.

If it was anything like by old 69 Ford, they would drive to the next crater and the battery would die.
