Soviet rover still there on the Moon, NASA photos prove

Photos of the Moon taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter clearly show the Lunokhod-2 – the robot rover that landed on the celestial body in 1973 as part of the soviet space program.
It was indeed a "giant leap" for mankind.
Got to love the title to this article. 'Soviet rover still there on the moon', well, where the hell did they think it is? It`s not like Lunokhod secretly blasted of and came back to earth via the service entrance. Or maybe was abducted by extra terrestrials? Cool story though. And to think that in only a few years the technology was invented and engineered for this massive undertaking. The Soviets really knew the value of prestige. Somehow they managed to keep their projecs secret from the rest of the world, and then out of no where there was these incredible achievements. I sometimes wonder if at least some of the scientists and engineers involved in these projects were awarded with the title Hero of the Soviet Union. Can someone maybe clarify that for me?
"Neal Armstrong isn't happy about this" Neither is Neil, but sure neither was ever on the moon.
Biggest liars, Pravda or CNN?
"Lunokhod-1, which reached the moon and returned the first-ever samples of lunar soil obtained by humankind in 1970."
Well yes, the first samples AFTER Apollo 11, which actually brought the FIRST samples back. AND After Apollo 12 which brought the SECOND samples back, both in 1969. So let's see, after careful calculation that would make the samples Lunokhod-1 brought back, the THIRD-ever samples. But hey, let's not let a little thing like truth get in the way of a good story!
Well, Lunokhod was (is) much, much smaller than the LEM.
Now compare this image with those with the supposed LEM platforms.
Something is definitely wrong here.
I am not saying here NASA wasn’t on the moon.
I am just pretty sure that it wasn’t done in the way they presented it to us!
Kenny is alive!
