0:33-0:36 Radio delay! =D

nice

If anyone has not seen Tom Hanks- "From the Earth to the Moon" you must get the whole set on DVD! It's really a fantastic show! :)

[Adlerfuckingqiqi]

ahah omg xD

[whathoney73]

Don't you just hate when those damn suspension wires don't hold you up and keep you from falling?

[EGMAG]

@whathoney73

At 0:12 they put up a pole to blind viewer to see his previous hard foot push where his inertia forced him to fall to the ground, instead he is being yanked up.

[Laurelindo]

@EGMAG It's much easier to get back on your feet like that when the gravity is much lower, since you don't need to use nearly as much force to counter the force of gravity.

[fireknight187]

Yeah the dust movement makes the wire disappear.

[Colaeroimages]

Wires my ass! Did you, by any chance, see the dust movement??? Now somebody give me an explanation other than this is indeed a video of some guy falling on the moon!

[theharper1]

Some of the dust he kicks travels way too far for it to be 1g. I wish people would give up the conspiracy rubbish.

[xodarap]

@Colaeroimages Agreed! I think this video piece at 0:17 and 0:20 shows the best examples of of ballistic flight path of moon dust I have noticed so far. The is oh so obviously happening in a total vacuum!

[notgodsemigod]

@xodarap Bollocks, the video is just played at half speed or so to emulate the moon dust under moon gravity.

What we see is a man that is lifted supposedly by himself keeping himself for a second in an incredible 30° angle ( 00:27 ) which is impossible either on the moon either on a planet with 1/50th of the earth's gravity. He should be falling from that position not rising!

Unless they had lifting jack machines in their feet, the video is full proof of use of wires on some site on earth.

[un4g1v3nl]

hahahaha

yeah

wires needed to be elastic maybe so the moves are more realistic

[fanbutton]

dam, the mofo had about five or six wires supporting him and still he fell over.

WTF!

Well he is a big guy in real life. One of the wires must have broken.

Next time use stronger wires, dam it!

[mcfcman1981]

Guess no body will ever find out if real or fake

[AgainstTheeWickedly]

No wire work is nescesary.

When you weigh a sixth of your normal weight (even accounting the weight of the suit and pack he'd be no more than a quarter of his normal weight) it's easy to push yourself up like that with leg muscles used to supporting your much greater earth weight.

Also he stands at that angle because the weight of the pack alters his balance. All of the apollo astronauts are seen standing like this. On earth, hikers or climbers with huge rucks stand the same way.

[wayno1971]

There does look like some wire work going on there - when he 'gets up' it looks more like he's pulled up and and seems to stand at a certainly improbbable angle for a second as he turns.

[mathemaddicts]

see where he gets back on his feet at about0.47?...i swear he's getting pulled up..no one gets up like that even in lo-grav

[Makemyday0126]

...and you being such an expert on what way someone in low Grav should be moving?...idiot.

[mathemaddicts]

sorry i didnt realise there were random anti-grav experts lurking on utube,he's being pulled up by wires....fucktard

[imnazhole]

So much klutzing about and falling down among radioactive bolders and rocks in 250 degree heat on a foreign satellite more than 230,000 miles away from any help that wouldnt reach you in time anyway and not a single scratch or concern for safety. Now that alone seems fake to me.

[LaurelleStar]

Andrew Chaikin noted in his book "A Man On The Moon" that Schmitt & Cernan moved confidently and didn't seem to worry about puncturing their suits. This was likely because 10 other astronauts had already walked on the moon; several of them had fallen more than once (Apollo 16's John Young and Charlie Duke were described in the Washington Post as "Two Klutzes on the Moon"). So these astronauts would have known that falling was unlikely to puncture their suits.

[Reggaz]

He's not staying directly under his track and the lift ends up pulling him a little to the side. Unable to correct his missallingment in time he is pulled off balance.

[mathemaddicts]

just think - if he punctured that stoopid suit hed be fucked - would you be running around like that UNLESS you knew it was safe?-moon landing were so faked

[curtiiis80]

those suits are barely impossible to rupture, as they can almost stop small caliber bullets. why do you think they are so difficult to move around in? couse they are so thin and fragile..?

[mathemaddicts]

if they are so difficult to move around in how come they can perform "difficult" tasks like taking phtos and operating machinery..how did they get past the van allen belt without getting fried?...Fake

[loperspest]

Simple, they didn't say very long, and the aluminum hull of the spacecraft protected them from most of the PARTICLE radiation of the Van Allen belts. That is what it is, particle radiation, Particle radiation (except for high energy photons) is relatively easy to shield from. Alpha radiation can be stopped by a piece of paper. Going through so fast, about an hour, also helped. The ISS periodically goes through the South Atlantic Anomaly requires much more shielding. But they aren't fried either.

[mathemaddicts]

thanks..interesting..i'll research that a bit .so much disinformation about ,u cud b right

[SuperOviedista]

cool
