man has not traveled farther than 400 miles above earth.

@belisariusorb helicopter do displace watch any old Nam videos....and 1/6th gravity with no water would scatter dust everywhere...for example....when meteorites strike the moon even small ones they make large dust clouds.
Anyway four words.
Van Allen radiation belt.

Chiroquacker, you moving there and others like you will economically destroy that place much faster. Imagine trying to get the right order from a drive thru with you working there?

i am moving to that ohio town..no niggers...that is great....let me tell you...if u want to destroy that town..start moving niggers in there..within 5 years it will be a shit hole and crime ridden...fact...no racist..but true

@belisariusorb Bet. Thanks!

6) Finally, the dust is deep - around 2 to 3 metres before you hit bedrock. So the disturbance of dust is not as apparent as you would think.
Think about this - when a helicopter lands in the desert, does it create a crater of displaced dust when it lands. No? Then why should a smaller vehicle using less downward thrust do so?
Focussing on the personality of Neil Armstrong is not going to clear up these doubts. I have to say this is a very amateurish film. Mythbusters was much better.

4) In the last moments the downward vector is practically nothing, descending at 3ft per second. To brake that you would need very little thrust. And in the final phase the engines are throttled down to a minimum to let the craft fall. On contact the engine is totally shut off, but the moment before that it was on a minimum thrust.
5) In the absence of atmosphere dust is not blown away. It reacts to the exhaust gases, then falls. It is not carried along by currents. So it settles close by.

There are a lot of misconceptions about the nature of the Lunar Module engine and the dust. Let's break it down.
1) The gravity of the moon is 1/6 of Earth's
2) The LM had used up most of its descent fuel and was running light - from 40 tonnes it was now around 25 tonnes mass.
3) The engine is a hypergolic engine in which the two fuels spontaneously combust on contact. There is no burn chamber, no "carburettor" or turbo. Very quiet, compared with a conventional rocket engine.

@rustyglock212 A remote TV camera mounted on the Lunar Rovers - so these videos only come from the later missions with rovers - Apollo missions 15, 16 and 17.

Hey who filmed the lift off FROM the moon? Remote control camera?
HOLLY SHIT!!!! i just caught Cernon in a bold face lie. there were small contact antennas that stuck off the landing skids maybe 12 inches. if you go watch the actual apollo landing live. you'll hear a beep then Buzz states "we have a contact light". then a short pause, then Neil says "shutting down engines". its as plain as day and anyone can hear it. its also plainly obvious that they had firmly landed prior to engine shut off. somebodies full of shit!
search- apollo landing live nasa

Neil Armstrong did not use the same technique when landing, Gene.
Look at the video.
