Armstrong LLRV crash

Armstrong was nearly killed when the LLRV crashed. Both LLRV crashed, yet much harder on the Moon landing on the Moon w/o runways/view to sides/down and so on... it worked six times w/o a single problem!

Amazing, is not it? Certainly. Must be noted that the used engine on LLRV is NOT a rocket, but a normal turbofan engine. That engine can be easily throtled and controlled, while rocket engines are way much harder to throtle or control... not to mention that even a 500lbs engine can make a small crater into -solid CONCRETE!

Amazing! And what a 9 982 lbs engine can do to a light regolit dust? That:

Not see a thing? Well, that engine was never meant to run, you know. It was just put on the scene with crane...

I am a Hillbilly from The United States of Kentucky, and The Moon Landing and the 9 11 in NY NY USA are all to impress other governments. We fooled the U.S.S.R. and showed that we are willing to sacrifice our own people. The cold war and the foothold in the middle east, all this is to maintain, peace through strength. Who will mess with America, you will get Bloody. We give a shit less, as our fine young troops get killed. It is all a BIG BLUFF, so we don't have to come down on them really hard.

These photos are full of incoherences: duplicate landers, landers with more than improbable shadows, landers too close to holes, incompatible shadows...

They are like the photos of the missions, full of incoherences!

Armstrong is not the only pilot who had to eject himself.

Two other pilots also had to eject themselves to save their lives.

On the moon, it would have meant death for them.

The problem with this kind of vehicle, it is that, in case of the least problem, it degenerates very quickly, with no possibility of regaining control.

Armstrong is badass!

@Chev4206 search LLRV landing on YouTube. There are a lot of video with different prototypes. And what about the photos of the LEM, left on the moon after multiple missions, recently taken by LLROC satellite orbiting the moon? You have the Internet to check by yourself.. don't take for true everything you read.

@Madarame79 But never on the moon, nor did any of it's derivatives.

So on the 282nd flight it crashed and no film of those 281 successful flights.

Hmm.....

Sorry. When they did land on the moon the llrv was held up by wires.

How stupid of me to miss that

Ejects 1 second before impact!

and by the way that specific LLRV performed 281 successfully flights and landings before that accident.

@trodas You really ought to learn at least a little about something before you make a video criticizing it. The LLRV/LLTV had BOTH a lift turbine AND lift rockets. It was MORE difficult to fly than the LM because it had additional engines, systems, and flight complications associated with wind and air traffic. The crash you show here was the result of (cont'd)
