The Cold War was made up, we are the fools who believe it, even now...

my point here is to point out your ability (or should i say inability) to argue anything physics related..
given your post about using two apex points to calculate local gravity, need i say more?

Wow. Just wow. You really think that if the government announced that the KGB murdered JFK, the American people would have called BS? And just let it slide?

Does the material disturbed on the lunar surface, either by the LM engines, astronaut feet or the LRV, behave in the same way as similarly disturbed material on Earth?
A simple yes or no will do.
I'l save you the time, the answer is no. The reason for this is because there is no atmosphere, which means that every single particle is free to follow an arc prescribed by the impact that disturbed it without impedance from air. There is no billowing and particles travel further and higher.
Individual particles may not be able to be analysed, but the aggregate behaviour of the entire volume of disturbed material can be examined.

Hi there and you are totally wrong.
WHY does any flying object (dust, paperplane, stone, etc.) without its own engine DROP in an ARC?
Because "In physics, the ballistic trajectory of a projectile is the path that a thrown or launched projectile or missile will take under the action of gravity, neglecting all other forces, such as friction from aerodynamic drag, without propulsion."

in other words: It will be forced back to the ground by gravity.

Dust goes up into the air, and arcs, due to the atmospheric resistance.
Without an atmosphere, like on the moon, for example, there is no resistance.
So the dust will not go into an arc on the moon, because the moon has no atmosphere, and it has no atmospheric resistance to create an arc.

The rover shows they are on Earth...
Dust goes into an arc. Dust can't arc without an atmosphere to create it, from the atmosphere's resistance.

Attempting to measure the speed of falling dust -
Looking at dust in a poor quality video, taking its 'apex', to measure accurately its speed of fall, and calculating its gravity...
Cripes, get serious...
I could measure it exactly the same way your clip does it, and I can 'prove' that the dust falls at exactly the same rate as Earth gravity!
It is not proof, as yours is not proof, for the very same reasons.
The dust cannot be measured, for gravity, using this video clip.
An apex cannot be identified, there is nowhere near the definition in the clip to find it.
You seem to think an apex is where you see dust at its highest point in the video. This cannot be disputed, as you see where it is, so that's where it must be.
A thick line shows us that you, indeed, have found exactly where the 'apex' is..
Simple - the dust can 'prove' whatever you want, after you found everything else failed to hold up.
Dust goes up into the air, and arcs, due to the atmospheric resistance.
Without an atmosphere, like on the moon, for example, there is no resistance.
So the dust will not go into an arc on the moon, because the moon has no atmosphere, and it has no atmospheric resistance to create an arc.

What utter BS. Of course it arcs as the effect of the moons gravity pulls it downwards. It follows a well known projectile path. Even on earth dust would do this BUT because of the atmosphere the velocity of the dust is slowed and thus arcs downwards faster. It also arcs downwards faster on earth due to the higher gravity.
So dust arcs in both cases just differently.

Living in denial, no matter what the evidence shows you.

The footage of the lunar rover is at 66.66% normal speed, that's why you think the dust is 'slower' than it is on Earth.
The Apollo dust arcs EXACTLY the same on Earth, too.

another brilliant quote by the "genius"

exactly?? previously you tried to make it like it is impossible to measure dust.. and now you want to believe that the apollo dust arcs EXACTLY the same on Earth... you make it sound like you have been able to finally measure it..

No, I just understand the reality...
You are trying to put words in my mouth, since I didn't say that, whatsoever.
The moon hoax issue is taboo, and no discussion of points will be worthwhile...
Threads about little aliens abducting people are fine and dandy, though..
So it would appear to be here, sadly.
