And who controls the wires? You are assuming an army of stagehands who are perfectly co-ordinated not just for a single jump, but for two astronauts and assorted equipment covering a large area over long stretches of time.
DJW001
Where are these stagehands,
DJW001
and why do they not list the wire work they did for NASA in their resumes?

Umm..where do you think they'd be?
DJW001 Do you seriously think they'd put such a thing in their resumes? You can't be that dense.

you are saying that the ropes are able to slow a jump down, but there is no way in the known world ropes can speed up a natural jump, wires/ropes can only pull they cannot push.
choos
knowing this when we compare a jump with ropes and a natural jump without ropes its safe to assume that a natural jump will be completed at or faster than a jump with ropes.
choos
so when we compare a natural jump without ropes to the mythbusters jump, it will also be safe to assume that the natural jump will occur at or faster than the mythbusters jump with ropes.
choos
now that those two issues have been resolved we can move on, now jarrah white is very adamant on his 66% slowed footage is what is needed to accurately replicate lunar gravity on earth, you agree with this otherwise you would not have posted his video..
but what we see here is that jarrahs edited mythbusters jump occurs faster than john youngs jump, and having established above a natural jump without ropes on earth slowed to 66% will occur the same or faster than the mythbusters and in extension will occur faster than john youngs jump.
now how can this be? jarrah white is very adamant that 66% is the magic number to slow footage down.. yet when a natural jump is slowed down to 66% its still faster than john youngs jump?? I have already established that john youngs jump, very accurately represents lunar gravity. So a natural jump slowed to 66% should be the same speed as john youngs jump.. but its not?? its faster??

It in no way shape or form simulated 0 g in 2001.

They don't need to speed him up more than a natural jump, they need to slow him down. They don't need to "push" him down - why would they do that? Why would they need his descent to be faster than 1 g? This makes no sense whatsoever.
Are you saying that a natural jump on Earth would always be completed faster than a rope-assisted jump on Earth? If so, you are wrong. Ropes only have to pull the person up to the same height at a faster rate. They don't need to use the ropes from that point, just a natural, 1 g descent. The rope-assisted jump will then be completed faster than the natural jump.
Not that they would do it, however. I'm just pointing out to you that it could be done.
It's a false assumption, as I've just shown you.
As I've told you many times, they can make their jump match up with Young's by adjusting the wires. Why can't you grasp this point?

That's why the film is regarded as a milestone achievement in special effects, right?
Do you want to see 0 g astronauts in a film from 1955? See the clip at 3:32...

Anything else you think couldn't be done in 1969?
I assume, from your reply, that you now understand we've used wires to simulate lunar gravity on film, before Apollo?
If so, then it is simply a matter of logistics.
What "assorted equipment" do you think would need to be suspended by wires?
As for the two astronauts...
How many times - in total - do we see them 'jump' any higher than someone could jump on Earth? You say it's "not just..a single jump".
Do we see such a 'jump' being done on every mission which (supposedly) landed on the moon? Afaik, no such 'jumps' are seen in any of the Apollo 11 or 12 footage. How many are done in the Apollo 14 footage? In Apollo 15? Other than Young's jump, how many others were done in Apollo 16? What about Apollo 17?
In other words, how much Apollo footage would require the use of wires? Why do you think wires would be required "over long stretches of time"?
If you think it would require "covering a large area", then exactly how large an area? I'm sure you realize that massive stage sets existed at the time, right?
I've seen very little Apollo footage that would require the use of wires, and nothing that would require "..an army of stagehands who are perfectly co-ordinated..".

Well? Where are the people who faked Apollo? CARD STACKING Half a million people worked on it GLITTERING GENERALITIES and not one turned whistle blower? TESTIMONIAL+PLAIN FOLKS+BANDWAGON. Your beloved Dick Nixon NAME CALLING couldn't even pull off a burglary! TRANSFER WITH CARD STACKING
I am not convinced by your propaganda techniques.

It costs an awful lot of money to get there, and costs even more to put a base there for extended missions (the cost of radiation shielding required for extended stays, plus the cost of transporting and/or producing crew consumables).
The 1970s were a turbulent time, and most of the public no longer wanted to spend money on moon missions. It got to the point that the cost of the final moon missions outraged many Americans who felt that money should have been spent on earth instead (helping house the homeless, feed the hungry, educate the children, etc.).
Then in the early 1970s, the Space Shuttle program began (the design of the space shuttle), and the budget realities would not allow for both a space shuttle and a Moon program. Therefore, Apollo was cut.
Maybe they felt they could eventually go back, but without a good reason to do so, they never did. The only reason the United States went in the first place is to prove to the rest of the world their technological superiority over the Soviet Union -- to show that Democracy was the better way forward than Communism. With that issue already settled, future missions to the Moon became meaningless.
Even Soviet Russia no longer felt the need to pursue their own quest to get to the moon once the U.S. beat them there.

More Missing Modules
The LM Snoopy's descent stage was left in orbit, but eventually crashed onto the lunar surface because of the Moon's non-uniform gravitational field; its location was not tracked. Source Wiki
Snoopy's ascent stage location is currently unknown, and amateur astronomers are searching for it.
That makes 4 missing modules so far in this thread.
Apollo 11 Eagle, lunar ascent module.
Apollo 16 Orion, lunar ascent module.
Apollo 10 Snoopy, decent stage.
Apollo 10 Snoopy, ascent stage.
Stakes are high. Put your chips down.

The Apollo Defenders have also failed to answer which astronaut on Apollo 12 snapped the picture AS12-50-7362. It's possible that this image, 7362, including the entire Apollo 12 Magazine Q, it's possible that it were snapped by a robotic arm with a camera attachment. Howard Hughes was building such things in 1959.
