OK,maybe we start with sorting out one simple problem first.
Where are the wheel tracks from the lunar rover in the pictures i supplied--from NASA them self,and one from the link you provided TK.

Very good point.

lots of wheel tracks in some pics.   astronauts get out scurry around a lot covering the tracks.   Multiple shadow angles in pictures and fluttering flag explained by this popular physicist:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drSqtw0Qywk
There are explanations for all the nonsense claims that the moon hoaxer conspiracy nuts come up with.  You just need to dig deep enough and know how to interpret what is observed.   
Simple explanation of multiple shadows - there is light from the Sun, light reflected off the Earth as well as reflected light of the Moon.
Simple explanation of the flag.   It was not cloth - it was tin foil unrolled to look like a flag fluttering so it could be clearly seen in photos as the American flag.

"First" it was the radiation, now its the tire tracks.  It just never ends...

With but few exceptions, the only time that the rover leaves tracks in the lunar soil is when it is just starting off from being stopped, moving very slowly, or maneuvering in a turn or circle.

The physical properties of the lunar soil in concert with the layered construction of the wheels and the lack of atmosphere causes the rover to cover its own tracks.  Notice that even during full out rooster tails there is little hang time or drift of the dust as it settles rather quickly due to there being no atmosphere.  Also note that the rooster tails have greater upward arcs than are seen here on earth due to the reduced gravity (and lack of atmosphere as well).  Essentially, the lunar soil picked up by the wheels falls back to the surface directly onto the rover's tracks. 

Watch as many videos as you can of the rovers in motion and you will see how this happens.  Even when moving fairly slowly, the way the soil falls from trailing edge of the wheels (and between the fenders) tends to cover the rover's tracks.

Surely this explanation makes more sense than believing a crane was used to drop the rover into each "faked" shot instead of just driving it onto a freshly powdered movie set.  Are we also to believe that Stanley Kubrick, or whoever, was too blind to realize there were no tire tracks in the film being made?  Perhaps we are to believe that NASA was very, very smart and knew the rover would not leave tracks on the moon so they had to use a crane to prevent making tracks on the "movie set"??  It's all just endless and very illogical.

Both sides of all of these arguments have been beat to death over the years.  Surely, anyone who has made up their mind regarding what they believe the truth to be has already looked at both sides of all the arguments and will not be swayed by brief posts made here.

E2Matrix,

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how the Smartmeter
shown in the tear down video can tell the difference between
a 10 amp at 120V load and a 10 amp at 240V load.

Check out the single current sense coil with only two wires coming
from it.  Also note how one of the legs passes thru the Isense coil
in a direction opposite to the opposing phase.

Also note the small wires coming off the two main legs after the Isense
coil most likely for both circuit power and Vsense.

10 amps at 120V or 10 amps at 240V, how does it know?

I think the small wires are for the voltage sense coil and each leg of 120v has a current coil which all work together to average power consumed.   The basic concept is over a hundred years old and is a nice piece of engineering IMO.  I assume in a smart meter instead of having a wheel turn from eddy currents there is some sort of chip that senses the currents.   Some people think that it is less accurate in hot weather than the wheel based setup.

I knew nothing about the space program and then Apollo 8 happened.  That was a truly amazing moment to live through, people all around the world were transfixed to their TV screens watching the lunar landscape pass by through the command module window.  Then I followed all of the explanations for how they were going to get to the moon and even as a child I understood most of what they were saying.

In the 1990s I had to go visit Kennedy Space Center to take it all in like a kid again.

I am not religious, but this clip was a truly magical moment that those of us that are still around to remember it will never forget.

This is a nice recreation in From the Earth to the Moon.

This landmark achievement was the result of the sweat and inspiration of hundreds of thousands of people.  It's an insult to all that they accomplished to think that it was all fake.
