what about the dust?,
shouldn't it stay in the atmosphere because of low gravity?
also as far as i can see the rover's moving preety slow, if it was on earth ,the dust would have reacted almost the same
Any vehicle going over a surface such as that would have left a dust cloud behind it.
How did they manage this:

edit: Just click the link, I can't get the video to run.

that's it ? that's your explanation ?
no dust cloud? .....
in fact , there should be a dust cloud, the dust should not fall back, it should stay in the atmosphere !!
we're talking dust particles 6 times lighter than on earth , in fact the rover at that speed and with those wheels behaves exactly as it would on earth
also the dust that leaves behind is very well camouflaged by the background that has the same color, a vehicle that drives in the desert at the same speed would generate exactly the same amount
ok, i've heard the explanation that the dust is vulcanic and it's very heavy , but i find that explanation hilarious , in fact there are scenes where the astro-nuts actually jump higher than the dust cloud !!!!
okkkk , the dust is heavier than the suit and the astro-nut
and i'm not going to get into the way they jump , because that's just way beyond hilarious ,
c'mon people reality check !!!! i need serious scientifical explanation on sand analysis, why is the sand so heavy !!!
this thread reminds me of billy meier pictures that were so obvious made up and people would just not want to admit that !!
when you start to belive in something some people find it very hard to let go !
It has nothing to do with weight, unless you've discovered a new theory of gravity. In a vacuum all objects are expected to fall at the same rate. So your observations about which weighs more are irrelevant.

what ?? ??
you 're joking right ?
do you actually know what gravity means ???
or did you skip the physics class when you were in school ?
so let me get this straight , if i'm on the moon , and if i drop 10 tons and a gram of salt at the same time , they should fall at the same rate and hit the moon at the same time ?
"In a vacuum all objects are expected to fall at the same rate. So your observations about which weighs more are irrelevant."
that must be the dumbest thing i've heard this month
The acceleration of the object equals the gravitational acceleration. The mass, size, and shape of the object are not a factor in describing the motion of the object. So all objects, regardless of size or shape or weight, free fall with the same acceleration. In a vacuum, a beach ball falls at the same rate as an airliner. Knowing the acceleration, we can determine the velocity and location of any free falling object at any time.

no im not taking it back, why?
What's is it so hard to fake?
On the way out and back, there is a moving spot in space you have to aim at. You know where becasue NASA published the trajectory information ahead of the launch. In addition, as has been shown, some amateur astronomers have pictures of separations, burns, water dumps, etc. exactly where NASA said the spacecraft should be.
The USB system used with 85-foor antennas will provide the ONLY means of tracking and communications at lunar distances.

Contact light and touch down isn't the same thing...
When they brushed the surface, the display panel lunar contact light would come on. This was the signal that the descent engine could be turned off.

2. Please CITE this claim.
It is good for the soul to admit your errors, you know.
Go on, be brave, try it!

Show me!
Considering:
The USB system used with 85-foor antennas will provide the ONLY means of tracking and communications at lunar distances.
So tell me, no show me, link it, quote it, which HAM operators tracked Apollo near or on the moon? And how did they do it? And what did they claim they heard or saw?

All that proves is that they claim they allegedly tracked something and heard transmissions from something - not that it was a manned mission to the moon which landed on it.
Or do you think the nation who sent men to the moon couldn't send an unmanned probe to relay transmissions back to earth? and that simulation data could not be used to deceive the majority of the public?
Frank Byrne wouldn't lie to himself, he knew that such a thing could be done.

Frank Byrne, former Head of the Radio Frequency and Telemetry Receiving Center at the Kennedy Space center says that the telemetry and TV data could have could have been simulated using prerecorded tapes (Moonfaker Exhibit D). Most of the people involved would never know they had been deceived.

Someone came along and gave you a star for that, after all the inanity that came before?
There is no way in hell you aren't able to see clearly what everyone is showing you (just how WRONG you are, constantly). There is no way you can continue this charade, UNLESS you are doing it on purpose.
I know, in some situations (school, etc) there can be an excersice called "debate" were two sides try to argue opposite points, and one team (or individual) selects a topic they vehemently disagree with, and know to be in error, but for practice' sake they 'argue for' it....but, that is there.
On the INTERNET, such tactics as displayed by you have a different term --- not 'debate' --- word that starts with a 'T', and ends with a 'G'.
But, since that wasn't about the meat of your post, this will be: The probes on the three landing legs were about two mwtres long. They were NOT THE ONLY source of height information available to the Astronauts!!!
Gee, if you'd bother to do the research (as I and MANY have asked) then you'd know this already...or, maybe you do (?) I, for one, hate being 'punked'.......
The LM was built to withstand a certain "drop" from a certain height, as long as lateral motion was minimal.
THAT WAS THE POINT of all those test videos, from NASA, that you linked earlier!!!
See, yet? (I bet you do, but for others who are being infected by your drivel...)...
The engineers design the landing gear. They try to over-design, up to a point, to give it some sort of safety buffer. Remember, in that day they did EVERYTHING, the calculations, with math...no computer simulations for desturction testing, they HAD to destruct-test to know how their designs would perform.
NASA gave the contractor (Grumman) what they wanted, in terms of vertical and horizontal load bearing ability.
Grumman designed, built, and tested...many, many times, in the best way to re-create the forces involved. Sometimes, the gear failed prematurely....back to the drawing boards, then.
Remember, also, that they were contricted by a huge WEIGHT restriction, as well...
Go, get out of your parent's basement, and READ a book, for Diety's Sake!
Descent Propulsion System
(Aerozine 50/N2O4): 9,982 pounds-force (44,400 N) at full throttle; throttle range of 1,050 pounds-force (4,700 N) to 6,800 pounds-force (30,000 N)

More interesting note is how come the Russians never landed on the moon?
But they kept on trying even had two fatalities of two cosmonauts. Just check this thread out.
www.abovetopsecret.com...&addstar=1&on=8756134#pid8756134
But America had 0 fatalities
and Russians basically owned us in the space race until the supposed moon mission.
Wouldn't those fatalities scare the hell out of us from sending our own troops? Just fake it as I continue to say.
Also a good source is why NASA back in 2008 sends two probes to the radiation belts? I thought they already sent probes to study them before they sent off their astronauts to the moon? Hmmmm....
