MOON WALK MAP Anonymous
On July 21, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first human to walk on the moon. He didn’t moonwalk alone – ‘Buzz’ Aldrin joined him on the surface – and he didn’t walk far.

After travelling hundreds of thousands of kilometers, the landing crew of the Apollo 11 lunar mission barely covered an area the size of a football pitch.

Many thanks to John Mark Boling for sending in this extremely cool map, found at this page of the NASA history division website.

If ‘football’ makes you think of a game played with helmets, please substitute ’soccer’. And if soccer is too alien for your liking, this map from the same website overlays the ground covered by the Apollo 11 landing team on a baseball diamond…

First studio wasn`t large enough for a longer walk. I worked on this project, later larger sets were built for longer walks.

Google lunar ranging. The Apollo astronauts left some mirrors on the surface of the moon. Labs all around the world use lasers based on earth to measure the distance from the earth to these lasers (the moon). It's the only active Apollo experiment today. It's also physical proof that man walked on the moon.

Also, several installations around the world (radio telescopes)
monitored the entire Apollo flight. Ever since the early 1950s it has been impossible to fake a space flight (by 1961 the soviets were tracking objects in space the size of screws).

Also a shitload of technology came into existence as a result of the Apollo program (fuel cells for instance).

So people who say man didn't walk on the moon are morons.
Look at how many probes we sent to mars. We sent waay more to the moon starting in the early 1960s. It's not hard to send men to the moon (just expensive).

faster then walking, rather bouncing along...
also prolly used for testing equipment for future/further explorations...

The Lunar rover wasn't used until the Apollo 15 mission, this is a map of the Apollo 11 mission.
