I see some from here have been over to the David Icke forum, you're braver men than me lol.
One of the things they keep bringing up is the hights astronauts were able to jump. Ive seen footage of Armstrong jumping up the ladder on the LEM and he must have gone aroud 5 feet up so why not post that? I know they will say its wires or whatever but i will shut them up over the claim of no footage of big jumps.
Im at work at the moment and cant view youtube etc but im sure someone on here knows where the footage is.

The yahoos just seem to take anything posted as proof of whatever they are saying. They do this with "logic" like, "If they could do that on the ladder, then they should have done it..." The fact that they didn't proves it was fake. There is no reasonable argument that will shut them up and nothing that cannot be dismissed without proper considerations because they are immune to reason.

There is also some good video of, I believe, Charlie Duke jumping up and down. From a standstill he gets up a good three feet or more. He does it several times until he loses his balance and falls over. (He then figures out that that wasn't such a good idea.) I don't have a link to it, but it can probably be found at Apollo Lunar Surface Journal. If I'm right about it being Duke, it would be under Apollo 16.

There is no reasonable argument that will shut them up and nothing that cannot be dismissed without proper considerations because they are immune to reason. There was a good example of that with the Mythbusters episode. The built their minature moon set, took photographs and demolished a number of the light and shadow myths that the HB's are so fond of. What did the HB's take away from this? The major response I've seen is; 'See how easy it would to fake the Apollo photographs!' The HB's, like all CT's aren't interested in evidence or fact, they have their conclusion and they are going to stick to it no matter what. |

The HB's, like all CT's aren't interested in evidence or fact, they have their conclusion and they are going to stick to it no matter what. If they were attached to wires, they could have chosen to jump any height, and as they were expected to be able to jump high(er) before they went, they would probably have made much higher jumps than they actually did, had it been fake - plus the stars of course and dust on the landing pads, parallel shadows and what have you! It could be fun to see what it would all look like according to the HB recipe with all the ingredients in the stew. |

I suspect that if NASA had produced photos of astronauts bouncing around like kangaroos against the backdrop of a starry sky with a swooshy sci-fi lander next to them all the usual suspects would still be crying hoax; the only difference would be in that universe they would be right.  |

Certainly so :-) Here is a document with some math and a surprising conclusion: www.nyskies.org/articles/pazmino/moonjump.htmSurprising to me, that is. Any objections? |
