That is very cool the way the dirt just flies off with little effort. And this video is even clearer than when I would have seen it the first time in the 70's. Brings back fond memories. Thanks!

Yep, 3000 lbs of thrust spread out over the ~2300 in² area of the engine bell comes out to about 1.3 PSI at the plane of the engine bell rim, which means it'll be even less at the surface.
A Harrier produces more thrust at landing and doesn't dig a crater when landing on unimproved surfaces.

We should send all those hoax nuts to the moon.

So there you are, miserable lying-eyed denialist hoax nuts, more conclusive visual proof for you that the moon landings were real. What more do you want?

I can't believe Jarrah could be dumb enough and deceptive enough to tell people the soil is beach sand. Straydog says it's "slightly moistened" sand.

Who's operating the camera in this footage?
OscarDuggan 2 years ago
The camera was attached to the rover and was remotely controlled from earth.
The camera operator on earth was called Ed Fendell.

Instead of digging, they should have one of those sweeper things that pick out metal objects. I think I left a watch on the moon previously. I am being a smart ass. Just ignore me please. :)
Actually, the one thing I notice that stands out in my mind, and I remember because I was a kid when all this took place, but the one thing that stands out in my mind is the communication they have with each other. Not much technical lingo. It was man with man in exploration of the unknown. Fascinating. TY

You know, that may have been a great idea :)
It certainly may have given some insight into the composition of the deeper layers.
I do see what you mean about the way they speak.
It certainly must have been very odd to be that remote.
