    If the memory serves me right Apollo 17 also used a duct tape to repair some part of the wheel on the moon too. So right now whenever I see a good old duct tape in the space movie, I kinda know that everything is gonna be alright.

    • @TheColinChapman
      @TheColinChapman ปีที่แล้ว +1

      yes, when they unfolded the moon car, one mudguard collapsed. the dust that the wheel would have raised without a proper mudguard would have made the trip impossible. Cernan and Schmitt fixed it with a combination of moon maps, duct tape and clips that they stole from the interior lighting of the lunar module.

  • @johnh1001
    @johnh1001 2 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    What they did onboard that space capsule was to make an oxygen rebreather . Yes , a lot of duct tape was used to hold it together . Rebreathers are what's used when people go scuba diving and this way there are no bubbles when they breath out . Rebreathers were used by the navy during WW11 . A rebreather is also called a carbon dioxide scrubber . They are used in just about all American space missions , this is what filters all the Co2 out of the air inside the space craft .

    • @Draknfyre
      @Draknfyre 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not all scuba uses rebreathers. In fact, rebreathers are considered advanced scuba and requires special training and certification to use. It's normally reserved only for very deep dives.

All the 'manned Apollo Lunar mission' believers have is a supposed 'live' feed video controlled by the fraudsters... That's it. And then there are all the unexplained anomalies - like audio that seemingly travels through a vacuum, shadows that should no be there from multiple light sources, perfectly framed and exposed Hasselblad photos taken unseen from a chest mounted camera. No stars to be seen. No ground disturbance from the lunar module's thruster. Unrealistic weightlessness, signs of harness wires. Duplicate back drops and duplicate artefacts in supposedly different locations, miraculous survival through the Van Allen belt, the strange post mission behaviour of Apollo crews. 'Lost' technology, destroyed original footage, fake 'moon-rocks', supposed technology that cannot now be recreated. ... etc. etc. The whole thing stinks to high heaven of an orchestrated PsyOps operation- And then there's the wishful, self-delusional gullible people who go on believing anything and everything they're fed from positions of authority - Get your head out of your behind.
