There was no blast crater because the engine on the LM throttled down to a min thrust to land.You don't use full thrust to land,(only hollywod does that. A car with a hemi engine doesn't park in the garage at 120mph it slows down (unless you are my ex girl friend) ..Moon landings real as advertised.
This ia a quaint video, made well before the first Apollo flights. It shows the early design of the LM before the front hatch was changed from circular to square. There was no need for the front hatch to dock, and square hatches made EVAs much easier.
They also show the Gemini-style space suits and helmets, not those actually flown on Apollo.
Great posting. When I was in Junior High, I had a science teacher, who, when she got tired of teaching, would show us this 16mm reel called something like, "Gateway To The Stars". It was an exhaustive description of the Saturn launch pad. Not the Crawler, not the gantry, but the cement mass with the flame trench that all that sat upon. Just the cement part. We must have seen it a dozen times. It was horrible!!! I would have sold my soul to have seen this one.
I watched these films on TV specials and news programmes when I was a little kid in 1965. In 1964, when I went to the New York WOrld's Fair with my family, we used the first mainframe-computer-terminals they had set up thru the whoe exposition, and they still have the Hall of Science in Flushing Meadows, where they had a lot on the new space efforts. It was a super-exciting time! The moon-landing was the culmination, and it would have gone on, and then to Mars, if Nixon had'nt cut NASA's budget.

Funny how the real LEM had no rocket exhaust. Secret CAFR "pension" funds, private Federal Reserve Bank counterfeits all "US dollar bills", income tax never ratified by the States, Pentagon's Operation Northwoods confession to domestic terrorism, WTC7 was never hit by a plane but falls in 6 seconds. Doh!
The LM certainly had an exhaust, it simply wasn't visible.
All rockets on the LM and CSM used hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide, two hypergolic fuels that burn with hardly any visible flame. See films of a Titan II (not Titan I) or Ariane 1 through 4 (not Ariane 5) without SRBs and you'll see hypergolic fuels in action.
On the occasions when you do see exhaust on hyperbolic rockets its actually unburned fuel reacting with the air, producing orange smoke, something that wouldn't happen on the airless moon.
That orange "smoke" is the natural color of the NO2/N2O4 (nitrogen tetroxide) oxidizer. It's not reacting with the air. The same stuff is a major component of smog, which is why it looks orange-brown.
But you're right that it won't form clouds on the airless moon, it'll disperse much too rapidly.
There's a visible flash at the moment of ignition, but once combustion is stable the plume is invisible.
america go to moon pffff my frend the other world :D

They never went to the moon. Here's a link to some of the evidence of a hoax.

Didn't mention anything about acting and film making classes so as to fool the world about landing on the moon

You mean hypergolic, not hyperbolic.

Yeah, my mistake. That is what I get for depending on spell checkers.

Of course not. NASA hoaxers are so dumb that they didn't include an exhaust...
They could fool the KGB, but not you apolloscam, you are the best.

You can't see hypergolic exhaust in daylight, expecially in the blinding daylight of outer space at 1 AU.
