Anyone who says these landings were fake is a total loser/Fucktard. Look at the lunar soil. Its getting kicked up so much higher than it would on earth. They didn't have CGI back then.

I live next to the Mojave desert. If it was Mojave, he'd be kicking up quite a dust cloud. Instead, all the dust is falling in a perfect parabola back to the ground, like water. Vacuum. Put that in your moon hoax pipe and smoke it.

I didnt know that the moon had SAND!!!

[Nostro200]

@daveinsd

thats because it isnt DUST but yes SAND

@YaMumYaNanYaGran @daveinsd

exactly! each and every hoaxer has outright denied this fact instead trying to bully their way into claming that the moon dust should get kicked up till far behind the rover.

even in 1/6 gravity, the fact that lunar surface is much like the nevada desert (½ feet of loose sand) would make the dust rise high up in a parabola and NOT thrown far behind. i doubt if the hoaxers could even begin to understand this.

@vincewansink Yes dodgey physics....but look you and I are not experts as the others here, we only react to what we see and of course that is an absurd idea if you ask me, the NASA kids here will put us right I am sure

@WELLBRAN I'm not saying you will have a science degree, but some review of wikipedia and the links provided on those pages may answer many of the questions you have. Or else review the NASA website.

Reading the list of Apollo missions and what they involved will cover many of the basic facts. You ask a lot of basic questions. To investigate this thoroughly, find out about all the missions, and then you can go from there. Watching random videos on youtube will get you mixed up.

[WELLBRAN]

@krisdevalle maybe I SHOULD go to Wikipaedia and get my batchelor of science degree today.

[WELLBRAN]

@krisdevalle DUDE your excuse that dust no matter where it is goes sideways and never "up" is pathetic thats the funniest thing I have read. OK taking your LOGIC the dust goes sideways from the LEM pad and lands on the other pad opposite...hows that grab you then? sideways in this case means 360 degrees yes? is that clear? seems to me that pro apollo people are hiding behind the so called facts and science and try to sound like geniuses.

[krisdevalle]

@WELLBRAN DUDE. You need to stop watching youtube and spend a little time reading the basics of the moonlandings on wikipedia or somewhere.

The rover was carried on THREE missions. 15, 16 and 17. It even says this in the video title.

These were J-missions, with a redesign of the LEM for extra payload and fuel.

The reason dust did not cover the lander is because of the vacuum. Nothing for the dust to be suspended in. It goes away, not up. Is this clear?

[WELLBRAN]

they said that apollo 11 was nigh on running out of fuel when it landed...so how did they get all the extra fuel on board for the extra payload for this vehicle, with the same lander? see how the wheels kick up the dust?..so why did the LEM on landing not kick up the dust with the engine and cover the feet and legs of the LEM...strange

@vincewansink "Funny how the rover doesn't flip when he turns."

Why would you expect it to? Your car doesn't flip when it turns, does it?

The LRV was designed for the Moon. With a top speed of around 10 km/h (though it reached 12 km/h at one point), and with a wide stance and low C.G., there's no reason to expect it to flip.

Or do you have calculations that say otherwise?
