And the moon dust that the rover spins up does not have a perfect ballistic trajectory in a vacuum with 1,662g.
Could you please illustrate this word salad for us? A diagram, anything?

If the lunar landing was a hoax, all of the film, video and photographs would need to be staged. This would involve a large facility and produce a great number of "out-takes."

Not sure if this has been answered? but if we didn't go to the Moon, why did we not go to the Moon so many times and why on one occasion did we not go to the Moon at all?

whether humans landed there and some of the footage purported fimed there is genuine may be a different matter
The other point is that even if we didn't go to the Moon in the 60s and 70s we must have been to the Moon more recently (in secret) in order to plant the fake lunar landers etc so that when the Chinese go to the Moon they won't discover the Americans were lying.....
However you look at it, we've been to the Moon.

The blue screen and traveling matte method were developed in the 1930s at RKO Radio Pictures and other studios, and were used to create special effects for The Thief of Bagdad (1940).
A large facility? Hmmm lemme see what I can dig up on that...
Langley Research Center complex

Besides, does this look like the surface of the Moon to you?
"It started in World War 2, when the government didn't want people to know about UFO reports in case they panicked," said Cooper. "They would have been fearful it was superior enemy technology that we had no defense against.
"Then it got worse in the Cold War for the same reason.
"So they told one untruth, they had to tell another to cover that one, then another, then another...it just snowballed.
"And right now I'm convinced a lot of very embarrassed government officials are sitting there in Washington trying to figure a way to bring the truth out. They know it's got to come out one day, and I'm sure it will. "
Leroy Gordon Cooper, Jr. (Colonel, USAF, Ret.)
The real question is, if everything was done on a closed set using the highest SFX technology of the time, what is it? Why didn't NASA just airbrush it out?
Finally, since I know you're not an idiot, I will allow you to salvage a little face by explaining this:
I wonder if NASA had a huge vacuum chamber they could use for images? You know to simulate the conditions on the Moon?
Dude, you have a cartoon character as your avatar.
By applying photogrammetric rectification, you can verify whether the astronauts really were on the correct latitude (where the Sea of Tranquility is located) or any of the other locations they said they were on subsequent landings. In fact, using photogrammetric rectification with a few other parameters that are also available, it is even possible to calculate the longitude.
I submit this challenge to the scientific community. I urge anyone who is capable of carrying out this challenge to do so as soon as possible. If the results indicate that the moon landing was a hoax, the three old astronauts (Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins) may still be alive to answer to these results.
For those of you with the ability and courage to carry this out and have your results published in a reputable scientific publication, we salute you as one of the greatest scientists/thinkers of our time. I say, Go For It!.
