Comment
There exist two kinds of "moon cars": a training car "1g trainer" or "1-g trainer" or "Geology Rover" or short "Grover", and the real "moon car" "Lunar Research Vehicle" LRV which can be folded together.
(http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/alsj/a15/images15.html)

On training fotos becomes obvious that the training took place e.g. in landscapes which resembled to the latter "moon landscapes", e.g. craterfield at Cinder Lake, Arizona, and at Taos at the Rio Grande, New Mexico. At the same time one can believe that NASA has not published all training fotos with the "moon car", as it is normal for a military organization.

1. Artistical "concept" of Apollo 15 with the "moon car"

	Artistical concept for Apollo 15 foto no.: S71-39868: Lunar Module (LM) and "moon car" (Lunar Roving Vehicle LRV) aside a blue hill with blue sky. A blue sky and a landscape in blue do not exist on the moon because the moon has no atmosphere and no refraction.
	Artistical moon landing concept by Jerry Elmore for Apollo 15 foto no.: S71-33433: The "moon landscape" of the "moon landing" with the projected ways of the "moon car" LRV drawn in. http://www.apolloexplorer.co.uk/photo/html/AS15/default.htm http://www.apolloexplorer.co.uk/photo/html/AS15/10075677.htm A blue sky and a landscape in blue do not exist on the moon because the moon has no atmosphere and no refraction.
	Artistical concept of the "moon landing" by Jerry Elmore for Apollo 15 foto no.: S71-33433: The "moon landscape" of the "moon landing" with the projected ways to go by foot drawn in when the "moon car" should not function. http://www.apolloexplorer.co.uk/photo/html/AS15/default.htm http://www.apolloexplorer.co.uk/photo/html/AS15/10075678.htm A blue sky and a landscape in blue do not exist on the moon because the moon has no atmosphere and no refraction.
	Artistical concept about Apollo 15, foto no. S71-39708: Radio communication between astronaut (little antenna), "moon car" (TV camera, big antenna) and the Earth, with radio communication between service modul and the Earth, diagram 7-9-1971. http://www.apolloexplorer.co.uk/photo/html/AS15/default.htm http://www.apolloexplorer.co.uk/photo/html/AS15/10075675.htm Impossibilities: -- such a little TV camera is not existing, and in the 1960ies a TV camera had a weight of about 60 kg -- a radio communication between moon and Earth over 380.000 km is not possible.

They are "national heroes" already before the flight. That the "moon landing" could be a fake is for the media of the "USA" unimaginable. The manipulation succeeds, supposedly also with the help of CIA.
