# The lunar module did not hover for long over the landing site. There was no need for an enormous amount of thrust to be used due to the reduced gravity on the Moon, and the exhaust gasses were quickly dispersed into the vacuum; they could not cause disturbance of air molecules around them as they would on Earth.
# "Moon dust" is not the same as dust or sand on Earth. There is no weathering on the Moon and the particles are jagged in nature; when compressed they stick together. Any particles that were ejected from the lunar surface, by direct contact with exhaust gasses, would have simply have dropped back to the surface. Large clouds of dust cannot form on the Moon as there is no atmosphere in which to suspend the particles.
# There is evidence that where the module landed, most of the lunar dust was blown away by direct contact with exhaust gasses, revealing the rock below:

The answer is: The Moon itself. Surprise! The lunar dust has a peculiar property: it tends to reflect light back in the direction from where it came. So if you were to stand on the Moon and shine a flashlight at the surface, you would see a very bright spot where the light hits the ground, but, oddly, someone standing a bit to the side would hardly see it at all. The light is preferentially reflected back toward the flashlight (and therefore you), and not the person on the side.

Data from this station as well as 30-40 similar satellite-capable systems and one other regularly contributing lunar-capable system around the world are used for a variety of scientific pursuits including study of the earth's gravitational field, plate tectonics, earth's orientation in space, high precision time transfer, relativity, lunar and solar system dynamics, and providing high precision orbits for GPS and ocean top mapping missions.

We have addressed several of your points from shadow divergence (a matter of perspective) to the Van Allen belt (which is safe to pass through quickly).

Can anyone address the LLRE? Anyone at all? You can't debunk THIS
Data received that is used in the following

Nothing else you say, no other point you bring up, no video in the world declaring hoax matters until you prove that all of these scientist around the world have been in on the hoax since 1969. Including scientists born after the Apollo mission! Debunk this.

As far as the film maker falsifying information...fine, let's say that invalidates the entire film. Like I said, I have more. I never said this one was the word of God but this was the one that was posted here and it was one of the ones that I still feel puts an awful lot of holes in the story. What about the footage of them faking the distance from the earth? This has been asked over and over. It has been called debunked over and over. It has not been debunked. You can call the film maker whatever you like but he did not make this footage did he? Nope, he just managed to be one of many that got to use it. Care to debunk that?
edit to add: Now that I have watched your videos. I take it back. They do not invalidate anything. I can watch any one of these movies without the audio altogether and I can still see fakery. What does removed audio prove? It proves he is a sneaky editor but not that he actually faked any footage. It also does not prove we went to the moon. Neither video debunks any of the things that bother me.

I never asked about shadow divergence, nor did anyone actually debunk it.
A quote from fox news with no science to back it up is not debunking. Shall I debunk Fox news for you?

Because no one is addressing what I asked about long before I was asked anything. Sorry but you do not get to throw a cheap quote from Fox around and move on. Google the word 'proof'. I know people do not use dictionaries anymore.

The only answer I have read about the Van Allen belt was the quote from fox news.

Yeah that does absolutely nothing to explain the radiation experienced by the shuttle astronauts. So at a much lower, safer orbit, through much more effective and abundant shielding, the radiation is much stronger than it is in an aluminum can drifting through the belts?

Really it was an amazing series of components each designed for a specific purpose.
