Many hoax believers have selective vision. Many people of all kinds have selective vision.

I have received a response from Henri Boffin from the ESO. I appreciate the time he kindly took to answer my questions very clearly and thoroughly. Below is his response in it's entirety.. Thanks for doing that and reporting the result.

The Apollo 16 clip comes from Station 8: GET 147:32:34. On the original version of the SpacecraftFilms DVD set it occurs at about 0:47 in the Station 8 chapter.

Nobody addressed the folded up LRV switching side's on the LM after landing issue. I thought that was compelling.I agree. It is compelling evidence that Jack White has done no research into the issue. The LRV is stowed in Quad I ("port"). The MESA is in quad IV ("starboard"). White sees the MESA and guesses it is the remains of the LRV deployment. But in one example of the LRV deployment, the Apollo 15 TV sequence has the MESA, the ladder and the pre-deployed LRV all visible in the same frame so we know he hasn't bothered looking at that. Indeed in the very image White selects to demonstrate his example, AS16-116-18578, you can see the LRV deployment straps hanging down off the LM.

AS15-88-11901 is part of Scott's VIP site pan and you can see the LRV tracks in the other pan images too. There seem to be tracks all around his pan location. My thought is that Scott circled around the area before he selected the final orientation for the LRV. According to the ALSJ, Scott did not reset the navigation system correctly when he left the LM so there was some initial confusion about precisely where he was going to stop.

Welcome to this version of the board, earthorbit. And thank you for splitting your queries into several well-named threads. In my opinion it makes it much easier to track the individual issues. You should check out Evan Burton's responses to White's Aulis sequence in the thread on The Education Forum.

My understanding is that the flag the Apollo 17 crew left on the moon was the one that had been hanging in the MOCR during the Apollo missions. The crew took a second flag along with them and brought it back to Earth as a well-travelled replacement for the MOCR one.

From the ALSJ commentary, Apollo 17, 118:19:22. Cernan - "The flag that we took to deploy was the one that had hung on the wall of the Mission Control Center during all the landing missions. And we also had another flag, which we brought back to replace the one that we deployed at Taurus-Littrow." See NASA photo S73-38346 which shows Gene and Jack persenting [sic] the replacement flag to Gene Kranz in the MOCR in December 1973.

The joke was used in the sitcom Porridge in the episode Ways and Means by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais in October 1974. In that case the target was stolen jewelry.

Thanks everyone. It felt really good although I can't remember thinking much about it at the time. I was too busy going through my usual radio calls and procedures and wondering whether I might be told to hold for a Boeing.

I flew my first solo this afternoon - Piper Tomahawk flying the Wellington circuit.
Many thanks to my flight instructors.

$0 =~ s!.*/!!; is instantly synonymous with "strip the leading directory path elements from the as-invoked command name," but not to me.
That expression, I believe (sigh), will strip off just the first path element.
No, it does strip off all the leading directory path elements (the * is greedy).

I've just been to see a local production of Little Shop of Horrors. The Audrey II puppets were operated (and partially built) by one of the guys from Weta Workshop who had worked on the 'Treebeard' performance rig for Lord of the Rings.
