Here is a challenge, how about you guys methodically go over JW's video and go video by video and point out where he is wrong. This could have been done a while ago, but I haven't seen any Apollogists go into such deep analysis:

One thing that you guys might look into is Richard Hoagland's Dark Mission Book.
He was there when the 'moon hoax' theory began.
According to Hoagland started in a roomfull of NASA employees and reporters, by JPL and NASA at a press conference.
Hoagland believes the reason JPL and NASA started this 'moon hoax' hoax was because they were trying divert attention away from what NASA found on the moon.
Dark Mission goes into more detail on this in his book.

In fact, there was plenty of dust, but the moons' regolith is rather densely packed due to billions of years of gardening and a lack of air on the moon.

Or perhaps the rumour that NASA found alien stuff on the moon was put out to distract attention from the fact that they never went there.
Divide (the sceptics) and conquer.
JW: Eleanor Blakely, radiation biologist for the Life Sciences Division, Lawrence [sic] National Laboratory also spoke of using ethylene shielding as well as the possibility of shielding spacecrafts [sic] with its actual fuel tanks.
Q: Ah yes I'm just wondering if you could speak to ..how difficult it would be to shield a spacecraft or even a space suit against different types of radiation.
EB: Yes, you ask another good question. The only problem is that particles undergo a process called fragmentation, so if a particle comes in and hits like an aluminum shielding, it actually fragments into an array of particles of a lower atomic number so you actually have a higher fluence on the inside than you would have on the outside. So there's been a recent study by NASA of the materials of the spacecraft, because the hydrogenous materials like shielding, polyethylene shielding can reduce, just by the different Z of the impact of the ions coming in from space. So shielding has limitations from that point fo view, however I talked to an astronaut that.. his vision is that - of course what you want to do is minimise the exposure to Mars - so he's a big proponent of other kinds, alternative propulsion and he would like to put the propulsion material, which is hydrogenous, in big tanks around the spacecraft. Now that would really ruin your view but it certainly would shield you. And so they have lots of things under study just to examine different alternative shielding...
JW: Obviously Apollo could never have been shielded with its own propellants, as [sic] the majority of which was spent right at the beginning of the trip. It should also be noted that Apollo used aluminium shielding which, by Doctor Blakely's admission would increase the risk of particle fragmentation and thus worsen the radiation problem.
You know we have sent unmanned craft on the moon....
....and collected moonrocks on unmanned missions.
So NASA could have put reflectors....
....and lunar modules there without humans being near the place...

Here's the challenge for you: admit that every single point you raised in the great "Geology Debate" has been completely addressed,
and that you have been intentionally ignoring issues that we have raised. In other words, you are now attempting to change the subject rather than admit defeat.
Before we move on, at least riddle me this one, one last time: Which of these is definitely from Earth, and why?

...why does it appear that Scott's strap seem to catch "air" when he jumps?

Now, again I invite PPK55, and indeed Kailassa and any other interested parties.. before I do it, can you point out the flaws in JW's argument, or NOT? I've even bolded the important bits for you..

Or, or .. maybe fairies were there!! Or giant green tree frogs!!! yeah that's it. I'm offering the same level of evidence as you...

Ooops. Did you really mean to type that, and not just think it..?
So it's not about factual debate, it's about tactics. Perhaps you shouldn't give away your trolling secrets so freely.
Anyway, I'd prefer to bring back the actual debate - can you walk the walk, Kailassa?

It doesn't seem to catch any air to me. It seems to be moving as inertia would dictate.

APOLLO 15 Dave Scott First Steps:
Play the video again and pay attention to the strap hanging off Scott's
PLSS. Ok, since the moon has no atmosphere worth mentioning why does it
appear that Scott's strap seem to catch "air" when he jumps?
I don't see the leg moving at all. And you can't see the LM in the refection, since it is behind him. What you're seeing is the reflection of the LRV and the "bright spot" is Irwin.

Here is Dave Scott himself demonstrating and explaining about falling objects on the moon
How about that
Some other weird things about the video:
- After he is on the surface, he appears to move the LM's leg 0:29 should that be possible?
- In the helmet's reflection, we can see the LM. The bright spot that appears to be behind the LM, is that the Sun?
What does it prove? So I will ignore such blatant distractions.

Yes, you are right, there....BTW, can you NAME any of them? I mean, did you actually research, and LOOK IT UP?? Or, just talking out of your......
....and collected moonrocks on unmanned missions.
....arse. Yes, guess you are. "collected moonrocks" on unmanned missions??? You had better have proof of this. I'll help. Research the Soviet Lunar sample return missions. See if they mention any "rocks" in the paltry few grams....GRAMS...of Lunar soil they managed to return, in unmanned vehicles.
So NASA could have put reflectors....
Yes...could have is the key phrase, there. The Soviets did, robotically (and couldn't find them when they tried to target, from Earth, because they weren't aimed at the Earth properly). NASA used Humans to properly set up, and align the retroreflectors. That's why they are STILL being used today, to measure distance.
....and lunar modules there without humans being near the place...
Your arse is getting a workout, there. Why not have a sit-down?
Down? OK, now type into your keyboard to find the PROOF that the LMs could be landed on the Moon, WITHOUT any Humans to control them. We'll wait.
Meantime, we were fitting another poster in this thread with a dunce cap. What's your size?
