Real Time Commands<br />

1. This is found on page 105. "Although no real time commands can be sent to LM-5<br />

and subsequent spacecraft, the ..." But according to Harry Hurt on the bottom of p. 70 in this<br />

book, it was ground based radar doing that work in real time. In the the fourth paragraph on<br />

the very next page, you can see that <strong>NASA</strong> sure had authors Murray & Cox fooled!<br />

2. On page 105 of the Press Kit, <strong>NASA</strong> also claimed that the landing radar provides<br />

altitude and velocity data to the LM's guidance computer. I know that on-board radar can<br />

gauge altitude, however, how can it clock the velocity Velocity is the rate at which you<br />

change your position. To do that you need a ground-based reference point, and to acquire these<br />

on the Moon would have called for a special mission to land a number of probes on the<br />

Moon beforehand. The only reference points they could have had were here on Earth,<br />
