by the rate it falls.. you said the astronauts were using wires right?? this would mean the dust or sand in your case would also be using wires..
Some time ago I bought some mini-coins containing silver that was carried aboard Apollo 14 to lunar orbit.

Both of those items seemed to accelerate pretty fast for 1/6 gravity.

No vacuum needed. And, other than the shots of them traversing on the rover, it could all be done in a studio. Sure, maybe some was done outside. Nothing suggests they were in a vacuum. I just see slowed footage and the astronauts supported by some wire device.
I freely admitted it was my opinion that it looks like a joke, numerous times. I don't see how scotch tape would be used to piece together an instrument that cost the tax payers billions. I find that hilarious and extremely insulting at the same time.
The jump salute where he gets barely over a foot off the ground? Doesn't the astronaut weigh about 60lbs with equipment included in 1/6 gravity? 1 foot is pretty sad.
They jumped much higher than that in the 1/6 sims even with equipment on. Poor reference.
Plus, there's the whole "flap up" argument that is shown in photo record and mysteriously absent in the video.
No, they're in a calculated slow motion IMO. And you must know what wire devices they've used to insinuate that "crossing each other" would get them tangled. Can you give an example of this?? I've yet to come across this in my studies. Thanks!
Oh, okay. Well, I'll accept mistake of what's public record. But, it's entirely within the realm of logic to believe that a top secret satellite could have provided the images. You know, one that's not on the record. You'll ask me for proof and I have none, other than offer that it would be silly to think we know of every satellite up there.
So camera men and haress operators + satellite image fakers = how many people in your mind? Doesn't sound like too many to me. I don't know how "dumb" they were and I think you just built a strawman with this point. I won't stoop to answering it in fear of where it will lead.
Haha. You're something else. If Apollo gets proven to be a grand scaled hoax boy will you have some crow to munch.
The fact of the matter is neither you nor myself can be so sure. When you controll the constraints of an experiment, 2+2= pink dolphins! It doesn't matter! But you'll act as if you know exactly what it's like on the moon. I know you're argument is phooyey and for that matter, so could mine. The difference between us is that I'll admit it and due to your dissonant bias, you'll never do it.
But, thanks for your response. It took some time and made me consider some things. Star for you, young man!

seemed to.. which is your opinion based on your perception of what it should look like, basically what seabhac-rua is talking about..
there is a way to confirm it if you are willing to learn, it involves basic physics, anyone can do it.

So if the Astros are falling slowly back to the ground and so is the sand, I'd be willing to bet it's the film speed reduction. Not the sand particles being on wires. Plus, the sand/dust seemed to be stopped by atmosphere while being kicked up by the buggy. Numerous examples available. It should have flung up 6x higher, instead, behaved like 1g atmosphere

That's certainly provocative but I'd need to know a little more about the materials used and be able to see the other half of the period. Someone could easily rig the earth pendulum in favor to their argument. Interesting nonetheless. Have a star

Well, that may take me some time to look through. It's certainly an interesting take on the vacuum dilemma. It's a small detail that I doubt will sway me all the way over to the "we went" side but it has merit, if everything I read about it is true.
Question: What's the largest vacuum chamber on the Earth? CERN? Did the astros do any sims in a giant vacuum chamber?
