Landing scene

Plz find satellite view.

another landing dec 7, 1972





apollo 17

The lunar module weight was told 16,658kg + 2 astronauts + moon rover + And many things

Small stones were not moved after big(my opinion) blast landing.

I ve found jump simulation (high jump) on the moon.



Right guy is john young




★The PLSS was 26 inches (66 cm) high, 18 inches (46 cm) wide, and 10 inches (25 cm) deep. It was tested at the Houston Flight Center by James P. Lucas, working for Hamilton Standard, and by various astronauts in neutral buoyancy tanks at Dallas. It was tested in space for the first time by Rusty Schweickart in a stand-up EVA in Earth orbit on Apollo 9. His PLSS weighed 84 pounds (38 kg) on Earth, but only 14 lb (equivalent to the Earth weight of 6.4 kg) on the Moon. The OPS weighed 41 pounds (19 kg) on Earth (6.8 lb (equivalent to the Earth weight of 3.1 kg) on the Moon).



He jumped at most 60cm. 2 feet.
Every astronaut knows how 2 feet high.

and my simulated line of the rover trace's drawing in the video.

they always drove fast when filmed so the track line must be thick. blue line is first drive, and sky blue is next.

i mean there are no lines like that in above post.


here is an interesting photo.
(I guess someone already noticed it before me, but i don t know exactly)







1. Blue line : considering shadow the light must be located Direction A.

2. Red line : if the light is located in A, eugene' s shadow must be in his back. But it is at front of eugene.
(Below inserted photo is flipped for real stand.)
And the mirror image on harrison's helmet is true image. I don t think it couldn t be photoshopped at the time(year 1972).

4. The light behind from eugene is shining on harrison's helmet glass.


3. So the light B is real thing. It can t be a real sun, because of the sun is brighter on the moon surface( about ten times ) than on earth. It wasn t able to be shown harrison's shadow in his costume.



Therefore A is probably the sun. They didn t want to take photo of the sun.

The guy beside the flag is standing at ground,

Eugene can t snap a low angle photo like that if not he lie down (because that the camera is fixed on his chest).



There must be another photogragher.

Here goes brilliant clip. ↓

Good job! Everyone!

At peak altitude, the booster rocket releases its crewed capsule. The booster then begins a descent back toward the ground, reigniting its single engine to land vertically on a slab of concrete five miles from where it launched.
