Watch the dust kicked up by the astronaut's feet. Somehow, NASA faking this video went through the trouble to get dust to act only as if it were in a atmosphere-less low-gravity environment
| It doesn't go far enough for the difference to be discernable. It moves slowly because it was shown in slow-motion.
Here's proof that slow-motion was used.
There's a noticeable difference in the body movements in these two clips. (first 6 seconds) http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/a11v.1101330.rm
What I hypothesize is that only slow-motion was used in Apollo 11. Later, they improved thier methods of simulating lunar gravity and started using a combination of slow-motion and support wires. The slow-motion in the later missions might not have been exactly half-speed. It might have been sixty five or seventy percent of natural speed. It looked better but it was inconsistent with Apollo 11 footage. The inconsistency is apparent.
At around the 21 minute mark of this video the above footage from Apollo 11 can be seen played at double speed.
It looks just like movement in earth gravity.
Even the people from Clavius had to tap dance around this one. ApolloHoax.net - Difference in Body Movements Quote: |
The simple matter of fact is, he has no idea how that flag began moving. In a moon environment, with a lack of air and therefore lack of air-resistance/friction, things continue moving for a while as according to Newton's first law.
| It moved because of atmosphere. Notice it had stopped moving for a while when the astronaut walked by it. (2 minute 35 second mark)
He was too far away from it to have touched it. Notice the size of his helmet at the beginning of the clip when he's standing right next to the flag. It's less than a quarter of the size of the flag. When he walks by the flag and makes it move, his helmet covers the flag. It wasn't static electricity because when he's even closer to it at the beginning of the clip, it isn't attracted to him at all. It didn't move from soil kicked against the pole because the rod supporting the flag doesn't move when the flag moves. Quote: |
What Scott fails to mention is that the flag remains dead-still for well over thirty minutes of footage, even when astronauts are moving around it.
| When they are moving around it at the beginning of the clip, they aren't moving nearly as fast. It also hadn't totally stopped moving from having been handled. The clip isn't thirty minutes long. Show us the clip you saw that was 30 minutes long. |
