The Harrier creates far more thrust on landing, on a dusty surface...no melted ground, no crater. What is the thermo difference between landing on Earth and the Moon? Pressure differences between the LM and a Harrier?
Don't claim things unless you know.

The Harrier II's engine produces 21,750 lbs. of thrust vectored straight down, yet doesn't blast holes in the decks of ships when it lands or takes off, let alone concrete.
Maximum vertical take-off weight is 18,950 lbs., so it throttles up to more than that to take off vertically, yet fails to blast big craters in the ground when it does so.

Sheesh, now you guys think the Harrier is real?

Here's another one for you. 9) Apollo 15 astronaut James Irwin had a religious epiphany upon his return to Earth. Was he that impressed by the special effects? He went to the summit of Mount Ararat looking for Noah's Ark. In other words he had a mental breakdown and I can't see how this proves very much apart from his fragile state of mind.

Woah, woah, what happened to questions 2 to 8?
EDIT: And what happened to the more in-depth on question 1?

And who are you to tell me what order to answer questions in?

I don't believe you can answer any single one of these questions from a technical standpoint (some of the questions are pretty subjective, so I prefer the technical questions...). So you go ahead and answer them in any order you want. Take your time...
I think what BertLs is getting at is this: When you start skipping to questions halfway down the page, especially when you skip to such a subjective question, it makes it look like you just can't answer the ones you skipped.

You haven't answered one yet. That's right. I've answered TWO, Doofus.

The moon isn't made of concrete. But it's apparently made out of something unusually meltable, right?
