The Space Suit.
The Apollo Space Suit design consisted of a zipper closing. It is questionable how this zipper never leaked. It also had joints for the waiste, gloves, boots and helmet, and all of which were subject to leakage. I think it is impossible to believe that it was completely ait tight, and while I cannot prove it, I challenge you all to explain how it did not leak..? And bear in mind that if air was escaping then radaition was entering the suit. How is it possible no astronaut became sick after being exposed for 22 hours..? The actual suits the astronauts were wearing still exist and are on display and could be tested for leakage. Leakage would eat up valuable oxygen.
The backpack contained communications and telemetry gear, 1.8 pounds of oxygen, (1430 PSIA) 12 pounds of feedwater, (5.2 Litres) a fan to move the oxygen through the suit, a pump to move the closed-loop water through the Liquid Cooled Garment, a lithium hydroxide canister to remove carbon dioxide, (3.12 pounds providing a 14 hour supply when only 8 was needed -- which created extra weight and caused the astronauts to waste oxygen carrying it around -- three canisters per astronauts were on board, and the extra 6 hour per canister weight created extra weight in the rocket when reducing needless weight was always an issue with NASA) and a 25 amp hour (390 watt hour) battery for electric power. According to NASA, the 1.8 pounds 1430 PSIA oxygen tank provided up to 540 minutes, 9 hours, of oxygen. How is it possible to have contained so much oxygen when such a tank at 1430 PSIA does not exist..?

The Apollo 17 astronauts did 3 moon walks - EVA's. The first one was 7 hours 11 minutes and 56 seconds, the second one was 7 h 36 m 56 s, and the last one was 7 h 15 m 8 s. The last walk ended on December 14 at 5:40:56 UTC. The astronauts had no place to sit while in the lander and they were required to stand at all times unless they were sleeping, at which time hammocks were used. By 5:40:56 UTC on December 14 they had been standing on their feet for 56 hours of the 75 hours that they spent on the moon, minus sitting time while in the rover.
The astronauts also travelled up to 6 miles from the safety of the lunar lander. Had the rover broke down they were required to walk back to the lander following the tire tracks of the rover. Walking 6 miles on earth takes some time. Walking 6 miles in moon dust and in space suits while carrying bacpacks and wearing moon boots would take even longer. This would've burned much more oxygen then standing around taking pictures or riding around on the rover. They were 168 h 36 m into the mission when they reached their furthest point from the lander at station 9. Houston stated that they required them to have the rover wheels rolling for their return to the lander in 10 minutes. See 168:37:37 on the link below.

Had the rover broke down at this point they would not have had enough oxygen to walk back to the lander. As noted, the astronauts had already been on their feet for 54 or so hours. Clearly they would've have been somewhat exhausted and now they might've been required to walk up to 6 miles. Is it believable that Houston would send BOTH astronauts on such a dangerous mission just to get a few pictures and pick up a few rocks..?
The Apollo program is well documented. You can find facts on pretty much every detail. On many of the issues I raise, which would prove it was a hoax, NASA does not provide data. In one spot NASA claims the backpack provides 540 minutes of air. In another spot they claim it's 7 to 8 hours of air, and yet in another spot they claim the backpack oxygen supply was limited. Seven, 8 or 9 hours of oxygen is not a limited amount of oxygen. There is no such scuba diving tank or compressed oxygen tank that I am aware of that provides 7, 8 or 9 hours of oxygen. It is not believable that NASA does not even know how much oxygen their own backpack provides..?

NASA checks the suit pressure rate and oxygen level at the beginning of the first EVA. See 118:14:40 and 118:16:39 on the link below.

However, NASA does not check the suit pressure rate, oxygen level or the heart rate of the astronauts at the furthest distance travelled from the lander during the third EVA . They do, however, check battery ampage and navigation headings. Since NASA's own site articulates that the oxygen supply was 7 to 8 hours, depending upon each astronauts own physical condition, how did NASA know that the astronauts could pass the 7 hour limit without checking their heart rate, oxygen level and suit pressure rate..?
And remember, the suits were probably leaking a wee bit from all joints as well.

At 121:42:19 hours on the link above, and well into the EVA mission, one astronaut decides to give Houston his suit rate and oxygen level reading. NASA thanks him and then does not even bother to get the rates from the second astronaut. This is simply not believable.
On all jobs sites, including NASA, safety is job one. NASA clearly did not demonstrate any safety concerns in this mission because they were never really on the moon.
