Die ersten Worte von Pete Conrad auf dem Mond waren übrigens „Whoopee! That may have been a small one for Neil, but it's a long one for me!“

Später erzählte er, dass er mit der italienischen Journalistin Oriana Fallaci um 500$ wettete. Er wollte beweisen, dass die NASA die Kommentare der Astronauten nicht vorformuliert hat. Fallaci war überzeugt, dass Neil Armstrongs Worte für ihn geschrieben und nicht seine eigenen waren.

All of the corresponding close-up pictures of those landing are from NASA's Lunar Reconnaisance Orbiter.

On a full disk view of the Moon's near side the locations of the Apollo Missions are mapped out. 
At the top right a small darkened oval is the Sea of Crisis. Under it from Right to left are the Sea of Fertility, the Sea of Tranquility (Southern edge is Apollo 11 Landing and Apollo 16 below it within the Highlands which show up brighter than the seas. The Sea of Serenity features Apollo 17 landing site near the top edge joining Tranquility (imagine an ice cream cone shape) with the large oval Sea of Rains (Apollo 15 lies within a darkened area which looks like a W jutting into the Apeninnes Mtns) sprawling out to the left which fades off into the Ocean of Storms taking up most of the left side of the moon. 

Below the Sea of Fertility is a small one called the Sea of Nectar, below Serenity is the Sea of Vapors, and Central Bay underneath. To the left of Central Bay is the Known Sea where Apollo 12 and 14 landed under the large Crater Copernicus. 

Below Copernicus is the small ovall of the Sea of Moisture below the Ovean of Storms and the Sea of Clouds rests to the right of Moisture below the Known Sea.Amazingly enough even after decades the footprints and rover tracks of the astronauts are still visible as if they were only made last night within the moons regolith.Unmarked full disk of moon.

On September 3, 2002, astronomers discovered an asteroid with an unusual orbit around Earth. Further analysis of its trajectory and spectrographic evidence—specifically, the presence of titanium dioxide used in Apollo missions—revealed that it was actually the third stage of the Apollo 12 rocket, launched in 1969.

The next thing to expect from the fascist clown about to become is to appoint a administrator who believes the Moon landings were staged.

Nice article by Sandhya Ramesh on PRL.

"Ahmedabad moon lab is waiting for Chandrayaan-4 samples. It has already studied Apollo rocks"

#Heute vor 57 Jahren landete mit #Surveyor 3 eine #Mondsonde der @NASA auf dem #Mond. Sie sollte den Boden untersuchen, um die #Apollo -Missionen vorzubereiten.

Und?

1969 landete die Crew von #Apollo12 ca 200m entfernt. Sie machten Fotos, montierten die Kamera und Bodenschaufel ab und brachten sie auf die Erde zurück. Es ist das einzige Mal, dass #Astronauten ein Raumfahrzeug auf dem Mond besuchten. Davon kennen wir die langfristigen Auswirkungen der Mondumgebung auf Materialien.

It’s sometimes amusing to listen to some of the air to ground transmission on the #Apollo flights. A lot of the chatter is the #astronauts talking about #poo, actually #p00, with no hint of adolescent smirking, like this gem on #Apollo12:
109:46:48 Conrad: And, Houston, whenever you’re ready, we’re ready to give you P00 and Data.
P00 was the quiescent state of the #Guidance #Computer where it was ready to receive instructions and data either from the #DSKY #keyboard or #Houston.
