All the live video footage was tracked by a network of “dishes” during the Apollo missions

107 “Proof” that Moon Landings Happened
All the live video footage was tracked by a network of “dishes” during the Apollo missions Over 382kg of moon rocks brought back

108 “Proof” that Moon Landings Happened
All the live video footage was tracked by a network of “dishes” during the Apollo missions Over 382kg of moon rocks brought back Over 130 separate lunar ranging studies rely on reflectors left behind by astronauts
