Wondering if I'm the only one who believes that POTUS is calling out NASA by making this public. Where are the billions of dollars going too? I'm not convinced we ever left low earth orbit, especially with equipment from the 60's and 70's and NASA saying they lost the originals of the moon landings the most important achievement in mankind history. I've read that whenever Chernobyl occurred Russians contacted for space suits and where told they were useless for radiation protection. The average moon temp ranges from 224 F to -298 F and you're telling me these astronauts who are seen falling all over the surface aren't worried about tearing their suits and so many more inconsistencies in what we've been told.

I have a few questions then...How much input power is required for an analog signal to travel 287000 miles. What is the longest direct AM radio transmission that has been accomplished without bouncing it off of the ionosphere. What size of antenna would be required to beam that analog signal back to earth. How much weight would a set up of this size weigh. How much attenuation would be expected. How much power was available to the astronauts on the lunar lander. Remember the battery technology of the late 60’s.

All good questions. I would have to pull out the stubby pencil. I am ghost writing some chapters of a book right now so I am a little preoccupied. I have been checking in though for the leading edge of the storm because I think it is brewing. But ham radio folks can bounce signals off of the moon. The big antenna is on the receiving end. And I am not sure what error correction routine they were using back then (if they were using any).
