  • The camera was remotely controlled to synchronize with the takeoff. It's on the back of a lunar lander, and its easy to tell that the camera's motions were remote controlled as it only changes zoom and angle of elevation one at a time and at a standard rate.

  • Conspiracy theorists are diagnosible paranoics

  • to me , this was the hardest part of the mission, they had to time this launch perfectly and then rendevous with a moving orbiting target and link up with this moving target and then go back to Earth.

  • @FienStudios For rockets to work they must contain both fuel and an oxidizer. The oxidizer is necessary to supply the oxygen for combustion to take place.

  • @FienStudios no i did not...

  • Why is there fire when the ignition goes off, doesn't fire need Oxygen.

  • @aramhampson didn't you read the top comment?

  • who controls the camera to follow the lunar mod take off?

  • @dallasgoldbug The DPS was throttled back to 3k lbs of thrust at landing. Spread over the area covered by the engine bells, that comes to a massive 1 lb per sq inch on the lunar surface for a very brief time. Material on the granular surface was moved an appropriate amount for that force. Specific enough for you? I'm going to guess no, since people who have bought into a conspiracy theory tend to disregard facts which disprove their delusion. Think about that for a sec before you retort.

  • @dallasgoldbug Dust further away from the engine bell that was not dispersed. I'm not sure why you think this is a problem when the entire field of rocket engineering and geology does not. Do you understand this? It appears only to be uneducated amateurs who don't seem to understand either the mechanics of exhaust dispersal in a vacuum, or the soil mechanics of the lunar surface. Do some reading, for your own sake.
