Please compare a difference of the fall speed of an astronaut and the sand.
Although almost same distance, the sand finishes a fall before an astronaut jumps until the top.

  • This is a stupid video, u dont even get to see the speed that the astronaught falls, you only see him going up due to the fact that he just jumped! Of course the dust is moving at a different speed, the dust didnt jump, it just got kicked up when the astronaught jumped. It seems to me that everyone that belives the moon landings were a hoax, are absolute idiots!

  • Perhaps you haven't knowledge of physics....

    Can you answer the speed of mass of dropping down from height X?

  • @tkrWkLNsQk I will not comment on whether the moonland was a hoax or not, but you have made an understandable mistake for a basic level of physics. As the astronauts foot is not flat, the force of the lifting foot is not transferred directly to the y axis of the sand. The vector's direction is along the normal to any given point on the foot. Therefore much y axis force is lost to horizontal motion. This effect is compounded by the fact his feet wobble, and do not move directly upwards.

  • @Ricki145

    OK, I claim that Moon landings were not real.

    You want to discuss this theme?

    I honest tired.

    Because You Apollo believers cannot disprove hoax theories.

  • There is dust scattering in a lot of different ways there. For instance, he is jumping by pushing off first with his legs, then with his feet, particularly his toes. The toes of his boots dig in as he does this and display a sort of bow shock as he rises. dust sprays in multiple directions.

  • But , many dust is kicked up to up.

    It understand clearly from this movie.

  • Another good example of junk science from the hoaxturds.

  • @tkrWkLNsQk Just saw this vid'

    How do you explain the lack of aeration of the lunar regolith?

    It's in a vacuum......that's why....DoH!

  • boring

  • A simple case of mistaking dissipating dust with falling dust. How one can presume to see what each grain of dust is doing from 30 feet away on a 240 line youtube version of an overly-copied video is beyond me. Not all dust goes upward with John Young as every other grain. Therefore it would not all fall at the same rate. Since it's ALL under his feet, it certainly shouldn't fall at the same rate he falls. Duhh!

  • good find, thanks

  • @tkrWkLNsQk I am not discussing whether the moon landing is real or not, because I have not researched the topic and don't know enough. However, I do know that his particular piece of evidence does not prove that the moonlanding was not real, as this particular piece of evidence behaves precisely the way it should on the moon.

  • Perhaps you haven't knowledge of physics....

    Young (the astronaut) jumped up, the dust didn't jump up, so he is going to carry on ascending, when the lunar dust pucked up on his boots will fall off.

  • @fanbutton The "deadly radiation field" presumably in reference to ionised particles trapped in our magnetic field, comes close to the earth. As is proved by ISS coming near the poles, and people having got to it, it is survivable. If you don't believe that, look up an ISS tracker on the internet, and pull out a pair of decent binoculars as it goes past at night.
