So why does the NASA engineer say its a problem at all if we can just do the same thing we did in 1969?

The one piece of evidence that has always stuck out to me is the Apollo 16 astronaut getting up after falling over, and then when upright he scoots around 90° like there's no weight at all, almost like he's being pulled back a little bit.
Photograph at right shows how astronauts wore pressure suits that were supported by a system of slings, cables and a trolley that was controlled by the subjects as they performed maneuvers. Researchers at Langley Research Center studied astronauts' ability to walk, jump and run using this ingenious lunar-gravity simulator. The facility also studied astronaut fatigue limit and energy expenditure in the one-sixth Earth-gravity conditions.
In the Reduced Gravity Simulator, researchers investigated an astronaut's ability to walk, run and perform the other tasks required in lunar exploration activities. With this facility, NASA studied the effects of one-sixth gravity on self-locomotion by suspending the subject on his side so that he was free to walk on a plane inclined to about 80.5 degrees relative to the local horizons. Holding up the lunar walker so he would not fall was a network of slings and cables. This was attached to a lightweight trolley that traveled freely along an overhead track that was part of the larger Lunar Landing Research Facility.
A number of the Apollo astronauts practiced lunar walking in Langley's Reduced Gravity Simulator.

If you had evidence to backup your claims, that held up to scrutiny, chances are i would.

Wait, you're Jesus?
I'd like you to explain your theory on the moon landings in more than one sentence and with some substance.
