Dimes to nickels that dude's Union.

Hey Arch, we had to have gone to the moon. Where else would we have gotten all the moon rocks, that look eerily similar to earth rocks.

Fuck the moon.

We got bigger fish to fry at home...at least at this moment. And the moon will still be there if we ever get done with dicking around.

Whatever. Point is the lunar vehicle wasn't solely dependant on solar panels.
Are you okay with that statement?

Look at a vintage Mac running all of those 6LQ6's with that large transformer. That was MODERN tech back in 1969! Do you really believe that 6 MODERN solar panels would run that beast today?
Come on dude.

Where's Pete?

You are barking up the wrong tree, don't get me wrong. I'm of the opinion that the denial of the moon missions is a cracked pot idea and delusional."Power was provided by two 36-volt silver-zinc potassium hydroxide non-rechargeable batteries" wikipedia. There were no solar panels involved. I trust that I've answered your question.
