The lunar roving vehicle wasn’t doing the broadcasting though … it wasn’t even there until the last 3 missions.

If this wasn’t a joke the entire internet would slide through to tell you how dumb this is

Ah but you see, the bottom one is on the moon. There’s no gravity on the moon so the broadcasts fly in the air much more easily. Then the broadcasts have to go through space, with again no gravity, then simply fall onto the clouds when they hit earth, and once they’re in the cloud they can stream 4k to the rest of the internet. This is why they put satellites in space, much cheaper and easier internet than something on the ground.

On the Earth, the signal fades due to the atmosphere. On the lunar rover, the antenna is small because there is no atmosphere, and on the Earth, the receiver is a giant round structure that measures meters or tens. And the antenna design is also very important. For example, a TV antenna transmits in all directions, while a lunar rover transmits strictly upwards
