if confederate soldiers were able to make submarines,

if two bicycle repair men were able to make airplanes,

if Nazis were able to make rockets and jet fighters,

then we certainly are capable of going to the moon

Could we get some Benny Hill theme music on this, please?

@thecubanism Of course they didn't take the Rover back. It was the Rovers camera which filmed the lift-off.

Is there any scientifical reason to go higher than 400 miles if one is not going to proceed to Moon or Mars? No, nothing there in the empty space that isn't better researched by automatic sonds.

What has the Shuttles 14 deaths in TWO accidents got to do with Apollo? Do the tens of thousands who have died in air crashes mean that the Wright brothers didn't fly?

@thecubanism They took it back??? That´s why I haven´t seen a trace of the rrover anywhere! But what about the flag? Is there a chance of me taking a picture of it with a nice telescope?

@thecubanism Yes he is stupid. Profoundly stupid

And a final observation, if these images were presented as part of a modern day film depicting man's first landing on the moon they would be laughed out of the cinema, for example, an astronaut falls over amongst razor sharp rocks any one of which could render him history from a tear in his suit, and his friend comes over and says, quite unconcerned, ' Let me help you there buddy' , 1969 US land on the moon, 2011 no further than 400 miles up with 14 deaths, that's progress? kiss my arse

Apollowasreal, you call this Walt Disney-like cartoon real? and why, for God's sake would they load the rover for the journey back? it is like I have said to other believers and never had a sensible answer, in the 1960's -70's we [so-called] went to the moon 6 times,240 thousand miles, since then we have never ventured more than 400 miles and lost 14 astronauts, granted we had a staged will we wont we Apollo 13 to keep NASA's money rolling in, are you stupid or what?

lol, at the first car assembly plant on the Moon. COME BACK. I Helped make it too!

I couldn't for the life of me understand how they carried the thing.

There was very high Solar activity that time to the moon. If they truly hit open space then they would of been well messed up.

Thanks for posting this.
