LRV radio communications
« on: January 12, 2018, 11:58:21 AM »
Am I right in thinking that the astronauts' audio communications to Earth on Apollos 15, 16 & 17 were straight to Earth from the low-gain on the LRV, and not relayed via the LM?

Through the parabolic antenna, IIRC, on the LRV when they were out of sight of the LM.
Well, it is like this: The truth doesn't need insults. Insults are the refuge of a darkened mind, a mind that refuses to open and see. Foul language can't outcompete knowledge. And knowledge is the result of education. Education is the result of the wish to know more, not less.
