They are the grift that keeps on giving. They've put out a part two of their attempted hatchet job on McKeegan. I've skimmed through it and already have some gems:
Henderson opens it up with a claim that dust from the LRV would "stay up there for days" and you wouldn't be able to see anything. How would it stray up Scott? What would keep it up there?
They also claim that somehow Collins was totally ignored while in orbit, despite pages and opages of audio transcript between Houston and the CSM while Armstrong and Aldrin were on the surface - they somehow have this idea that because the people on the surface couldn't directly communicate with the CSM, no-one did.
Another beauty is an "if I ran the zoo" variant, whining that Saturn V launches always had a big countdown clock but there wasn't one on the moon. They don't seem to know that the final words from the crew before ascent were:
"124:21:54 Aldrin: 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, Abort Stage, Engine Arm, Ascent, Proceed."looks like a count to me, and prior to that are reams of dialogue of them preparing for launch, something the ADs don't seem to think they did.
In the previous video, they make reference to the TETR satellites. which evening the tiniest bit of research would tell them could not have been used for Apollo. They were specifically used to train ground stations in handover procvedures, and the only one available for any of the first three Apollos and an S-Band failure, so couldn't have replicated the Apollo signal.
That Apollo signal came from the moon, and as TETR satellites were in LEO, they could not have been used by ground stations for much more than 10 minutes at a time, not the hours required. If ground stations wanted to train on things on their way to the moon, they used things that were doing just that (eg Lunar Orbiter). I cover it here:
https://onebigmonkey.com/apollo/CATM2/ch5/9/nasasats.htmlSpeaking of S-Band, their favourite lapdog still parades his ignorance in the comment section, claiming that the Soviets did not have the capability to intercept and decode S-Band signals. As I detail here:
https://onebigmonkey.com/apollo/CATM2/ch5/7/zond.htmlthey absolutely did. Besides that, you don't need S-Band decoders and receivers to detect that something is at or on the moon, you only need those if you want to tell what the S-Band signal contains.
