Astronaut runs downhill
Loading...
Uploaded by Gordouxx on Mar 7, 2008
Apollo 17 astronaut Harrison 'Jack' Schmitt runs down a hill on the moon. He employs the famous 'kangaroo hop' technique, and really builds up some speed due to the lunar gravity. He is very pleased to be on the moon.

"weee! im having fun and nobody can stop me!"

Yeah, he ran real fast. Think you meant to say "Jumped"

If there is a cult of people on earth more ignorant, more intolerable, and more unwaveringly wrong in every one of their idiotic assumptions than Muslim extremists; it is the fucking conspiracy theorists. The term "feckless oxygen thieves" has never been more apt. I say we ship them all off to the moon to bounce around on it themselves. Without spacesuits.

@kountrygirls1 -- If those "basics" were taught in science class, then some science teacher someplace needs to get fired.
The moon has no "air." Anything kicked up MUST come right back down as it does in this video. It CANNOT stay up in a cloud.
Wake up yourself.
... it really would be nice if people would think for themselves instead of just believing hoax-crap like a bunch of sheep.

@kountrygirls1 You're funny.... The Moon has gravity, 1/6 of the gravity on Earth. This video shows that...
-
with each hop everything comes straight back down to the ground. zero gravity and the force of his leg muscles would have sprung him into the atmosphere and thrust him pretty damn far! the dust would have hung in the air as blurry clouds. these are some of the basics we were taught in science and we all know that seeing is believing. .stop searching so hard! it's right dead in your face. WAKE UP SHEOPLE!!!!!

@snaredrum110 -- NASA never intended these films to be studied by the public?
You're smoking the funny stuff, again, right?
NASA provides these videos to the public. They always have. Anyone can get them straight from NASA. Anyone has been able to get them for 40 years.
Try again.

@snaredrum110 -- Wait. You said before that they looked so light because they were suspended on wires.
Now you're saying that they didn't jump very high because they were normal weight in Earth's gravity.
You can't have it both ways.
Now I'm really curious: Were you lying when you said they were suspended? Or were you lying when you said they were subject to full gravity with nothing taking their weight off?
You were obviously lying in one of those statements because they are contradictory.

@Brandyk007 -- Example of idiocy:
How high can you personally jump? One foot? Two feet off the floor?
Now -- are you capable of only jumping one inch off the floor if you want to?
According to YOUR logic, it should be impossible for you to choose to jump only one inch off the floor.
Question: Can you think of anything more stupid than the logic you used about the height of the astronaut's jumps?

La NASA confirma la existencia de agua en la Luna y Marteby efe149,470 views
Notice that the parabolic motion of the dust as it rises and falls is consistent with the parabolic motion of the astronaut (use his feet as a point of reference).
So therefore: If the astronaut was "suspended on wires" in order to elongate his forward motion and "simulate" 1/6g gravity of the moon, then the DUST particles must ALSO have been suspended on wires. (Slow motion alone does NOT replicate this motion.)
The "wire suspension" of the so-called "hoax theory" is completely absurd.

@pt1gard -- So have you figured out how they had the astronaut take 6-foot-long strides in this video?
They hung him on wires maybe??
So, if they hung him on wires, then how did they make the rise & fall of the dust match the rise & fall of the astronaut? (Hint: Slow motion doesn't even start to explain it. Regardless of what speed the video is played at, if the astronaut is hung on wires, the rise & fall of the dust would not match his like it does.)
