To everyone who questions that the CoG with one astronaut moves outside of the acceptable envelope I would seriously question why you are being so difficult...
Because engineering requires such rigor. If you are unable to meet that rigor, you do not get to question the work of practicing engineers. The better question is why you're being so haphazard and lackadaisical. You're simply begging the question over and over again.
I would suggest even someone innumerate would, upon understanding the astronaut weight is similar to the rover, put the CoG somewhere under the astronauts right buttock.
Why would you submit in evidence what you suppose an innumerate person would do?
I used a simple formula for seesaws...
Wrong method. Use the proper method. You don't get to dumb down the problem until it fits your limited understanding -- not if your goal is to tell professionals on that basis that they are liars and frauds.
I am being genuine and not trying to bend things in my favour.
You're making it up as you go and trying to pretend this allows you to challenge the work and belief of the entire engineering community.
If they were done I would have expected to have run across them by now, and I would expect any such findings to be in the operations handbook along with speed recommendations and CoG calculations etc.
Straw man. They weren't in the one place you looked, so rather than conduct an appropriate study you decide that everyone else should have done it your way and if they didn't then they're hiding something.
Well the question I was asking was whether the LRV's were ever designed for one astronaut, so there should be no need to see if it could be done while on the moon, they should know before they get there, and should have appropriate guidelines.
No, that's not how testing philosophy works in real life engineering. Some things you can only learn through operational test, and you can't have those until you have at least an early working model of the vehicle and you test it in its destined environment. Every airplane has a test flight. Every ship or submarine has sea trials. These occur in environments that become immediately hostile to the human occupant if something goes wrong.
The LRVs were extensively tested and studied. You have only scratched the surface of the design, development, and testing efforts behind it, and are patently unschooled in the methods underlying such an effort. Yet you have arrogantly drawn the conclusion that they must be implausible and further impose arrogantly imagined rules for proper practice and conduct upon the industry that developed them.
Ostensibly, it is looking as though the rovers were never designed for one astronaut, and one astronaut takes the rover outside it's design parameters.
No, you decided all that before you ever entered this forum, because you drew the same conclusions elsewhere. You came here presenting the same conclusions with the same handwaving rationale, even after you were shot down previously. You're shopping around for approval for your beliefs and praise for your cleverness, not actually investigating an engineering design.
You are essentially saying the grand prix were testing limits, yet they went well outside the recommended CoG and well outside the speed limits, on the moon where any failure could be disastrous...
I already addressed the c.g. "limits" and you have failed to respond.
They did not exceed speed limits in the Grand Prix. If you had read the astronauts' report of the experience you would have known that. You clearly have not studied the LRV well enough to make the outrageous claims you're making with any sort of objective confidence.
"Any failure would be disastrous" is hyperbole. Layman conspiracy theorists typically hype up such imagined dangers in order to invent new rules to impose on NASA, so that they can accuse NASA of breaking them suspiciously. You do not get to decide for everyone what is an acceptable risk.
...and in vehicles with low tolerances.
You only suppose the vehicle has low tolerances. You are unwilling and unable to prove anything of the sort.
