You're most certainly welcome.
#1 Watching the film repeatedly and in frame by frame I can see the feather waiver... even in normal view this is obvious as the light reflects
differently as the feather wavers on its way to the ground.
It appears to waver due to the weak live TV signal and the light reflecting off of it. Even if this was done in a vacuum chamber as you have
suggested you should know that the only way it would move at all is if it were set in motion on the way down.
#2 Have YOU ever done this test on Earth? Drop a hammer at the same time as a feather from a height of four feet and recorded the results?
Why yes I have, this is basic Junior High physical science. We even experimented with using a vacuum pump and a tube to show that in a vacuum the
feather does in fact fall at the same time due to it not having any air resistance.
I gather with your 'preaching' "Low and behold..." that you are implying that one most have an IQ approaching Mr. Hawkins to be able to understand
things.
Sorry, you gathered wrong.
Sure about this you are, yes? Hmmmmm? {Heavy Yoda accent here}
Sure about this I am,yes.
Well before you claim "No way. No how." I would suggest that you try it at home... you might be surprised {shocked} at the results...
No way. No how. Sorry, I am not shocked at the results. They are exactly what I expect.
Don't want to try it at home? Well that's okay because someone did it for you...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
OMG, do you honestly believe that was real???? HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Thanks for the best laugh I've had in this entire thread!!!!
Now, first of all in a rebuttal of a scientific fact (yes, they do exist) you post a video from a well known moon-hoax advocate!
As if that isn't telling you all you need to know right there, take a look at the feather as it hits the ground! Have you ever seen a feather clank
back and forth like it was a solid piece of metal???? LOL !!!! It *could* be a real feather simply sprayed with a flat clear to make it solid and
when dropped end down (notice the nasa vid , it's dropped sideways) which takes away the air resistance properties of the feather. Glue would do it
too, but would most likely reflect light and not look real.
Please I urge you, instead of posting youtube videos of moon-hoax fanatics to go outside pick up a feather and drop it to see what happens. Ever own
birds? Or been to a chicken coop? They literally float around in the air on Earth they do not plunge down to the ground!!!! HAHAHAHHAHAHAAA!
Ever hear the expression "lighter than a feather" ...where would that come from if on Earth they fell like rocks??? HHAHAHAHA!!!
