As with Pavlov and his dog, the US Mockingbird media have for many decades conditioned citizens to have a programmed reaction when someone uses the term "conspiracy theory." You should be careful not to allow yourself believe you've somehow advanced any argument in using the phrase. If your purpose was simply to cast aspersions my direction, be advised, you've really only soiled yourself.
The MET conveniently has two wheels, spaced 3' or so apart. I guess that can't be the answer for AS17-140-21370 then, eh? Oh, and the Wiki says the MET was only used on Apollo 14, so there's that second (pretty major) strike against your explanation.
The Rover with no tracks could not have been from its first descent onto the lunar surface, as all but a few of the 162 photographs in Apollo 17's Magazine C were ostensibly taken on an excursion away from the LEM.
Whether or not either of us could verify that the lower stacked picture in 3) contains the Rover, Here's an official NASA presentation with overlaid commentary: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bp1UcfrkK8rbMOVaZmqxa8nbVcENLCaL/view?usp=sharing
When the CIA's 1967 memo suggested using the moniker of conspiracy theory to turn the tables against those who might assert that a nefarious act was carried out by multiple people (in government), it was obviously intended to cover for the rising controversy concerning the JFK assassination. Unless you've had your head in the sand for 50+ years, you know that the assassination was a conspiracy. Obviously, Watergate was also a conspiracy unless you're G. Gordon Liddy or you want simply to turn all manner of ridicule onto yourself. There are laws with strict punishments against conspiracy and many events are conspiracies. Having a theory about a conspiracy simply means it's a work in progress and does not deserve ridicule. Take what we now know about the government-ensconced cabal at the White House, DOJ, CIA and FBI concerning coordination to take down PDJT. It's undeniable! We of course have plenty of evidence as to its conspiratorial nature to be able to say that, just as with the hoaxed Apollo missions, whose technology we're laughably told was destroyed so we can't even recreate a moon mission forty-eight years later!
Your inherent condescension toward excusing a conspiracy out of hand is naïve and pre-pre-programmed.
Ha,ha,ha. Beam me up. Thanks for the comment. I like to define who FR’s free traitors are every chance I get, lol. All the DOD contracts I worked on were domestic materials only FYI. What did your original comment have to do with the story, except to suggest it didn’t happen. Clever by half, lol. Apollo 14, their back to using the MET, clearly seen in the photo with original wheels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Lunar_Surface_Experiments_Package#/media/File:ALSEP_AS14-67-9361.jpg
Who’s to say they didn’t use the MET with chevron wheels or a simple pull cart by Apollo 17. (your pics) It is quite possible the stacked pictures 4.5 kilometers (2.8 miles) meant a distance from home base, which was a significant achievement. My greatest accomplishment as an American designer was screwing over metric every chance I got and I was good at it. Logging into Google???? No Thanks, lol.
