the Remote Controlled Apollo theory
I have a newspaper account that supports my theory that Howard Hughes was building robots with TV cameras as early as in 1959.
If you would like to see the article give me a star.edit on 10/4/2013 by SayonaraJupiter because: (no reason given)

It's the Mobot. Kind of hard to leave footprints with wheels. I still want to see where Howard Hughes and Richard Nixon developed a man shaped robot capable of hopping, not attached to a power supply by cables, that could have gone to the moon and left tracks there.

Any object will go higher on the moon than on Earth, under the same conditions......except for dust, then?
Dust will go no higher on the moon than it goes on Earth, yes?
But dust will settle faster on the moon than on Earth, right?
The atmosphere has no effect on dust being lower from the ground than it would without an atmosphere. But it does have an effect later on, when settling back to the surface!!
Amazing, for sure!

The NASA catalogue images are studio shots. Footprints are made in the studio. Area shots are made by the remote controlled Surveyor landers, and yes, they were capable of hopping.

Showed you guys how Howard Hughes ripped off the government for $365,000,000 worth of Surveyor hardware. Showed you guys Howard Hughes research was building robots with TV cameras on them in 1959.
Showed you guys how Surveyor can hop around on the moon. The Disclosure of the Moon Landing Hoax is imminent.

What is significant is not so much the height that is achieved, but how long it is aloft.

Whether dust goes higher on the moon than Earth is just as affected by atmosphere as it is settling - this is why you get billowing dust clouds on Earth, and why dust can remain suspended for years on Earth.

If you can find, in any of the hours (and I mean hours) of EVA footage of dust that remains suspended in air, or of billowing dust clouds, then go ahead and post it here and you get the prize.
The above video shows dust behaving much the same as Apollo's dust. We see lots of dust thrown up by the dune buggies
There's maybe a few minutes in the "hours" of footage where any dust is being thrown upward, so let's get that straight.

Actually, the height achieved is just as significant as the time it's aloft. They are both relevant to this issue.
You can't ignore or dismiss something because it doesn't support your argument. And in this case, you're trying to dismiss the lack of height reached by the dust in the Apollo clips. It's a problem you can't refute, so you're trying to shrug it off as insignificant. No go.

No, an atmosphere will interfere with dust as it's thrown upward/outward, and while it's aloft, and while it's settling.
So Earth's atmosphere will have a limiting effect on the height/length reached by the dust.

And as I mentioned, the dust from the LM 'takeoff/landing' can't even be used, because it could easily be a special effect added on later, as I think it is. All that's left is the rover footage, which is not much.
Do you think all dust thrown up on Earth will form into billowing dust clouds? Think again...

The above video shows dust behaving much the same as Apollo's dust. We see lots of dust thrown up by the dune buggies - it reaches similar heights to Apollo's dust, and it does NOT remain suspended in mid-air any longer than Apollo's dust does.
So Apollo's dust behaves no different than dust on Earth. It would behave very differently if it was on the moon. So it's obviously filmed on Earth

Nice one, turbo.
I'll even bet, that you could run all the known Apollo footage and come up with a quantity X for the number of times an astronaut boot kicked up the dust. That number X could be quantified and analyzed.
Unfortunately, that is waaaaay beyond my research capabilities. (If I had a team of researchers... maybe... ) But it would be within the capability of Arizona State University who has special access to NASA archives and it also has people assigned to the erasing of the reseau pattern marks, erasing the cross hairs, from all the Apollo images. They could be re-tasked.... to count the number of times an astronaut boot kicked up the dust!!
Watching youtube is beyond you? There are hours of footage of astronauts moving and driving around. Dust clouds. Any time you like.

That isn't dust. That is sand.
