Love it !!!

BORING!!!

that really is the easiest way for these people, he? That the astronaut was ABOUT to tell the truth. There were still nine alive when i read the book i mentioned, although i believe Mitchell went on his last adventure since then. Shouldn't there have been more "accidents" by now? Nah, I know what you mean with those conspiracists (or whatever they're called), Buzz should have crammed that Bible up this typical conspiracy guy's you-know-what.

Wll yeah, but the Big (as in book and DVD selling ones, David Percy, Bill Kaysing Bart Sibrel) Moon Conspiracy Theorists, always claim that when an astronaut dies, they were 'just' about to tell everybody the real deal. And that their death is proof of 'NASA Death Squads'. And of course, providing no backing evidence for their claims. I am a peaceful person, but I can and have gotten mad at these people.

if you're so sure they were lying, how come you call mr. Armstrong one of the honest guys???

There's a book i've read called "Moondust", which follows a guy searching for the leftover moonlanders. All went completely different roads after the Apollo era, making it pretty hard to believe the moonlandings were faked. At least one of 'm would have spoken up by now then.

P.S.: Donlemedwn (what kind of nick is THAT, got something to hide?) in fact LLRV's were gimballed.

P.S.2: Donlemedwn, if you would have done some BASIC RESEARCH, you would have found out about the gimbals..

It may interest you to know that the Lunar Module was tested unmanned on Apollo 5

itwire . com / content / view / 16084 / 1066 / Despite some claims by Apollo Hoax Theorists, this was a well tested vehicle. And yes, they did do drop tests. grin. hq. nasa. gov / IMAGES / SMALL / GPN-2000-001287. jpg As well they tested the LM manned in APollo 9 and 10. The LM was tested, the astronauts were trained in a variety of ways, this wasn't a rough shod effort here.

[donlemedwn]

Did they ever use a EXACT mockup that was 1/6th the weight and did they use EXACTLY the same engine and controls? Did they do a drop test and test the engine start-up and slow down to a hover and landing?

How could they be SURE all would work, with no glitches, the very first time?

[loperspest]

This wasn't the only method my friend they had of simulating being in a LM. The craft shown was only meant to serve as a real life example of piloting a craft that operated on the same basic principles as the LM, giving invaluable experience for the pilots.

Was the jet engine in the LLTV gimballed? That would be the ONLY way it could be made to simulate the lunar lander.
