This looked like a PR ad for NASA, as condition for using NASA facilities. Discovery Channel is the Military Industrial Complex channel.
Mythbusters bouncing radar off the Moon only yeilded 3 photons out of 300-billion. Ham operators have been bouncing microwaves off the Moon since the 1950s, from their backyards.

But they knew better than focus on real issues, the lack of rocket exhaust on the moon, or nuke radiation, or engineering.
MythBusters's moonwalk video seemed to prove how easy it was to fake Moon gravity. The actual backpack weight on Apollo was 250 pounds (not 150 lbs), which is still 250 pounds of mass in Moon gravity. The new "Apollo" backpacks will be 300 pounds when they "really" go the moon in 2020 (after most skeptics are dead, and computer animation is more advanced).

MythBusters cherry picks their evidence. The flag waving only tested moving a flag pole, when Apollo videos show the flag moving when astronauts walk past it without touching it.

This places doubt on all Mythbuster shows.
In another for example, Mythbusters "proved" an MP3 player cannot be powered by an onion. But I have a clock powered by a potato. http://scientificsonline.com/product....
So Mythbusters "re lies" on fine print, and laughter, to "prove" their points. So I will take a leaf out of their book and do the same.
BUSTED
