Denial after denial, the Apollo Defenders have denied the importance and implications of the 700+ boxes of missing Apollo telemetry tapes. Those tapes could be used to find the missing modules.
Denial after denial, the Apollo Defenders have denied and underestimated the importance and implications of the 4 missing Apollo modules. But the missing modules are not relevant to Apollo? Do you see where your denialistic attitude is leading you, choos?
You are living in a fantasy world, choos! Richard Nixon has pulled the wool over your eyes and blinded you with science.
For 40 years NASA has covered up Nixon's Apollo. The Keep Out Zones are only the latest proof and confirmation of the ongoing cover-up.
choos
oh and how will you do that?? ropes cant slow the descent down a little bit..
choos
and they didnt have a feasible way of recording hours of slow motion in case you have forgotten.
choos
having total control of the jump makes the jump unrealistic.. dont you get it?? a jump is smooth from start to finish, there are no jerky movements when you jump.
choos
the ropes suspended a portion of the mythbusters weight and that remained constant throughout the jump, this is to ensure smoothness in the jump, if they decided oh we are going to use ropes to give him this much weight and then half way through the jump decide oh we are now going to reduce his weight even more, the jump will not be smooth it will be jerky.
choos
the ropes have been configured to represent a weight similar to the moon.. they do not vary during the jump, we know this because the jump is smooth throughout.. and why are you only focused on the descent?? what about the ascent?? seems the mythbusters reached a slightly higher height slightly faster also??
choos
making up technology that didnt exist in the 60's doesnt cut it.
You assume they filmed hours of footage, non-stop, while on the 'lunar surface'? I hope not..
Short clips, and that's it.

Your clueless about how stunt rigging works i can see that.Do you realize how much they have to edit out using
cgi for wire stunts? Technology which didnt exist back them your trying to use rigging's used today in the 60s but in the 60s they didnt HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY TO HIDE THE RIGS!
watch this video it lets you see behind the scenes:
PS feel free to call motion works and ask them there professionals.edit on 11/2/13 by dragonridr because: (no reason given)
Before Apollo 11, there was Kubrick's 2001.
They already knew how to remove any trace of wires.
No CGI is required for this. Sure, it was very crude by comparison, but it worked.

It is obvious that the only video you have seen from any space flight has been seen on Youtube. There were lengthy, continuous broadcasts both en route and on the surface. Please stop arguing from ignorance.
I'm referring to the ALSJ, which means it is NASA.
They have the little clips.
But you aren't arguing from ignorance, right?

Are you joking? Sure hope so.

The Mythbusters jump was smooth from start to finish...nice try.
You are saying a person that jumps with wires/ropes will look "jerky", if his initial 'weight' is reduced/adjusted mid-way into his jump?
You said..
"...if they decided oh we are going to use ropes to give him this much weight and then half way through the jump decide oh we are now going to reduce his weight even more.."
For some unknown reason, weight changes must happen on-the-fly! Noboby can set plans for it, prior to the jump!!
So it will look "jerky"!
Wires/ropes can lift a person very fast, or very slow. Wires can suspend him in mid-air, for a split second, or for several hours.
Wires can also descend a person to the ground very fast, or very slow.
And look just as 'smooth' as Young's jump.
Again, a smooth jump with wires/ropes doesn't prove one constant weight was used.
The Mythbusters jump was never meant to replicate Young's jump, and it's the only jump done, as well.
You ask why he lands a split-second later than Young did, or went up a bit higher, and a bit faster, and I've told you why. You just can't accept it..perhaps you never will.
He lands a bit later. Did they try to land at the same time? No. Could they land him at the very same time, why not?
Sums up Apollo, in a nutshell.

Actually, the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal is not NASA.

To the dying breed of Moon Hoax believers, do you really believe that this picture is a fake?
You cannot explain the 800+ lbs of rocks, that is enough to bury the hoax theory in the first place, but this picture really puts the lid on your hoax and buries it permanently. Go ahead, debunk it some more.

Not only do you not seem to have watched the entirety of broadcasts from the Moon, you have clearly never seen Kubrick's 2001! Please post a link to a scene of one of Kubrick's astronauts walking on the Moon that demonstrates the same techniques as you allege were used in Apollo.

2001 effectively simulated a 0 g environment, but you believe we couldn't simulate a 1/6 g environment at the time? Do you think they couldn't hide/edit out wires on film back then?
choos
a smooth jump proves that a jump was a jump without any changes of forces throughout. net force remained the same. if net force remains the same, then the force involved remained the same, if the forces involved remained the same than weight was constant.
choos
the mythbusters jump with jarrahs editing was meant to replicate john youngs jump.. the mythbusters done the hard work to get the weight to appear to be lunar weight.. the slowed footage was jarrahs attempt to finish the illusion..
choos
now according to you, john youngs jump was done on earth under the same circumstances.. ropes to replicate lunar weight and slowed footage to finish the illusion..
however, galileo's principal dictates that all objects will fall at the same speed regardless of mass or composition, so they must have fallen at the same speed.. yet here we are, two jumps under the same conditions but different rates (up and down) and different heights..
Such variances will appear seamless, because it's all controlled by the wires. It does not require a fixed weight to be smooth, because the wires are controlling the jump.
