Fixing lunar rover with duct tape

Gene Cernan fixes a rear fender on the lunar rover during Apollo 17. Apparently, good ol' duct tape was the procedure for fixing such a problem. Without the fender Jack Schmitt was sprayed with dust.

Gene works to repair the rover's broken fender while Jack reaches the ALSEP site. The clip opens to show Gene tearing off a strip of duct tape from a roll and applying it to the fender. Jack asks Bob Parker if they can see him and Bob says "No," but a voice from the back room in Houston points out that he has just appeared at the left of the picture as a white spot in the distance. The EVA controller advises the flight director that Gene is now twenty minutes behind in his timeline. The camera leaves Gene at the rover and zooms to find Jack resting and evaluating his chosen ALSEP site area, the experiments package beside him on the ground. He discusses the site with the capcom, who informs him he is ten minutes behind in his time line. He picks up the ALSEP, moves it a few meters to his left, discusses experiment placement requirements with Bob, and the back room Experiments team reacts to his questions and remarks.

@CNN911Fakes Of course there was!!! Rolls of duct tape were taken on the Apollo missions to repair anything at a moments notice. In fact, duct tape saved the lives of Lovell, Haise and Swigert when it was used in the construction of a co2 scrubber.

0.55 WTF?? RPG???

@CNN911Fakes Where is the proof, I ask? Where? What is wrong with this video? Where is you naivety and bigotry coming from?

[CNN911Fakes]

@bigbezet Your vulgarity speaks louder than your empty phrases. This video proves that what was filmed here did not occur on the moon.

[bigbezet]

@CNN911Fakes "Well, if you ever get proof, I hope you share it widely." You're looking at proof you fucking moron. If you have proof that the landing was faked, please share it. There is NO evidence, only semi-logical conclusion stated after selectively choosing different facts.

Geez, after reading all these comments: conspiracy theorists are really dumb.

Thank you everytime I see one of this videos I want to be an apollo astronaut.

@bobafetthotmail Just as long as you admit it's not real.

@Slippymicky Technically speaking: if the moon landing is unreal and everything else is unreal, then nothing (not even the landing) is unreal. Double negation of a concept becomes affermation of that concept. Ever studied simple logic (or even simple math) at scool? :)

@yesiamawizardjonny ps, My video

watch?v=LQaCWQNEbso

focuses on the moon frogs. I am sure you are familiar with that little NASA AA11 beauty.

Again, as with all my videos, you are welcome to visit, rate, comment, spam, troll. Whatever rings your bells.

Your associate, RKO, is not permtted to comment on my videos anymore by your bosses. Sort of sad; in the old days, his spam, trolling, noise and vulgarity were a real turnoff to genuine searchers. Truth can use all the help it can get.
