The rover was supposedly assembled on the moon, not rolled off of the lander. While there aren’t enough foot prints around the vehicle to support that claim in my opinion, the “no tracks yet” argument doesn’t hold unless we can pinpoint that location to be far from the “landing site.”

I appreciate every analysis of moon photos. To me, the existence of this rover is hard to believe, let alone all the other fortunate coincidences that may have led to this photo. I wonder if any Hawaiians will ever come forward about filming on the volcano. There is still an island of Maui that’s off limits, with a bombing range and a leper colony...
