Managed to survive to drastic temperature changes, radiation, the film wasn't destroyed, nailed it on the first try. Took the pictures despite being unable to see exposure settings and wearing pressurized gloves. Transmitting an analog TV signal 250,000 miles from earth when they yet degraded over a small distance on earth.
And the problem wasnt sending a signal, it was sending one in real time, there was at least a 2.4 second delay in the signal yet the president had no problem talking to them in real time.
Watching it again, I see there is a cut for a second. I dont remember this in the original video. In fact the original one isnt in the top results. But I did find this.
Original clip, there is a delay. Does seem rather long though. If it takes like 2.4-3 seconds to reach the moon and back. Wouldnt it only take like 1.5 seconds to get from the moon to the earth, another couple seconds to get from florida to washington. Just a delay in the equipment proably? Meh whatever. Im interested in the new moon mission, for sure. Thought it was interesting they strapped the dummys with radiation vests because of "boobies".
Not to mention, they built a 1:1 ratio full size set in the desert, where they recreated the craters exactly by using bombs. Boy I bet that took some effort. Prolly easier than going to the moon at that time.
But for the lander itself, it would work. No atmosphere, no weather. The vacumn itself is a very little threat. Its radiation that makes it inhospitable for organic things, and traditional electronics as well.
If a can of sheet thin aluminum can do it, then for sure something thicker would as well. Of course, thats not going to do anything for a random cosmic or solar event though. Amazing no one ended up sterile or crazy from the trip.

Also, good thing they had the exposure set to "disable background stars in all shots".
I dont believe they made it to the moon, but a couple notes here.
Ive mentioned before, when the soviets wanted to take a picture of the moon, they used spyfilm they had taken from crashed weather balloons.

Wheres the delay?

So this guy is proably right.
