Just watched the last minutes of the flight of the Eagle as it descended to the surface. In the last several hundred feet of the descent, you can clearly see dust being dispersed/ejected by the effect of the exhaust - the velocity was such that it was essentially going horizontally.
What did you actually expect? That it would be caked with it?
Subduction I did read the article : whilst true that our gravity is much stronger than that of the moon, and that would mean that the lunar module rocket would not have to produce the full thrust of all its rocket when attempting to land. Still with the less gravity factor you would expect to see a lot more soil or regolith disturbance. Land a drone apon the beach and it’s covered with a certain amount sand residue from the blow: it’s just a normal reaction with most things when you do. Now the drone has 4 small propellers above it: the lunar module has a rocket enigine that produces much more power than a small drone ever could: also the lunar module power source is from beneath. As to no air being present in space that still doesn’t nullify the power of cause and effect, especially when you release the trigger on that rocket for it to be able to blow and express its power. The Apollo landings all seem to be different. Some did so manually when landing while others had to rely on their auto instrument system to guide them down because of the low visibility caused by the DUST as mentioned on the site you quoted. Yet with all those missions we always find those lunar pads miraculously spotless and clean. So I’m still not convinced.
By looking at the photo’s and footage . Just as anyone else does and has the right to do, including yourself. Yes NASA was concerned about the accumulation of moon dust and how thick that crust would be. They thought that the Luna module might become submerged or engulfed . As to calculations there is also a thing called common sense . Your talking about a lot of moon dust: doesn’t matter how quickly it falls there should still be dust residue all over those landing pads. Unless we are dealing in precision fallout which I did mention in a earlier post.
Radagast we do know some about The supposed Nasa moon landing and their connection with Australia. You might like to check out Jarod Whites information on that. Moonfaker is his u tube site. You say No sensible person can doubt that Apolla went to the moon. Your entitled to your opinion. That would make you a sensible person I guess. I’m sure with time we shall all be made to believe that 1+1 =3
Tom I do think the dust does acquire a liking for almost everthing , except for water. And not to worry I’m sure I would find some dust on you as well. Maybe your shoes maybe your suite or your books : ) As to being bone dry: yes I’m sure the moon would be that way. But it never stopped the dust from dirtying the astronauts uniform and boots nor their go go cart that was throwing dust everywhere as it would do apon the earth . I’m sure you would find dust on the lunar lander as well if you searched hard enough. Just not in the qualities you would expect from a lunar rocket landing. You say ( what would cause dust blown away from the landing site to cloud and and than settle as it would in earths gravity and atmosphere. ) Tom that’s exactly the point just how far would all of that moon dust and rumble have traveled from the actual lunar landing site. And with a very low gravity and no atmosphere unlike us here apon earth. Yet we do see plenty of dust around the window of the eagle from the film of the 1st landing
Wow...
