Firstly the lunar rover was actually driven on the moon by astronauts who went on the later Apollo missions which showed that they were actually confident enough in the thing’s engineering to go there more than once.
the Oxford Dictionary:
rover1 (rover)Pronunciation: /ˈrəʊvə/
(…)
a vehicle for driving over rough terrain, especially one driven by remote control over extraterrestrial terrain: a lunar rover
Guess Lunochod fits that description better than american moon car
I am really happy to point out all your mistakes when you speak about Eastern Europe, Poland, Russia and other things you have absolutely no idea about, but I feel strange when I have to teach you your native language and I would feel better if the others would take over from me on that field.
As for confidence: my point is that Russian technology was so advanced then, that the Russian rover did not needed anyone to go there and drive it And I am serious about this, a Lunochod was underestimated, as people’s landing on Moon was more spectacular thing, but it wasn’t in any way less technically advanced, and when it comes to telemetry and electronic, it was even more…
And driving Lunochod was harder than driving American rover, due to the reaction time and delayed view, as the signal to and from the moon needed few seconds to get there Nothing like that was done before.
As for Apollo 1 that’s what test pilots do for a living and sometimes that’s the only way to find design flaws and that’s one of the reasons that the Americans got there.
Ah. So Apollo 1 bursts in flames = “the only way to find design flaws in brilliant american construction”
But when Tupolev Tu-144 crashes = “prove that Russians are stupid and everything that they make is crap”.

Will check the videos later, I am in the university library just now (Pointless fact for today: in a “Soviet, Russian, Central and Eastern European Studies” dept there is a small shelf in the corner with ocultist literature, I wonder what carrtyfast will make out of this )

I’m surprised that Orys hasn’t tried to make the case that the Lunar Rover was actually a joint effort between Kamaz and Tatra.
We have saying in Poland “everyone measures with his own measure” - I am not sure if I translated it right, but I think the sense is carried out. And I think that it should be sufficient for the comment to that bit
But if it was really all a conspiracy a Saturn 5 would have been the most expensive conspiracy in history when something smaller and cheaper probably would have done just as good a job of convincing the public at large.
I also leave that one alone. It’s carryfast here who specialised in conspiracy theories. I am here only to provide facts and information when someone lacks knowledge about former Eastern Bloc issues.
