Adhesive tape give-away

Editor's Note: For some it may be difficult to come to terms with the fact that on a project where "money was no object" NASA would use crudely-applied adhesive tape (probably Mylar® or similar) to secure the US decal. Surely a big time whistle-blowing gamble that someone like Jack White would reveal it to the world.

Editor's Note: This study is a close one to call, but the images are SO alike, considering the fact that they are from two totally different missions with differing conditions and 'terrains', one really wonders. The LM shadows are going to to be generally similar, but to achieve the same precise shadow details (for example see arrow) the lighting would have to be from exactly the same height and orientation to the LM on both missions. No doubt NASA never anticipated that researchers would analyse this material so closely.
