The landing module touches down on solid rock, covered in a layer of fine lunar dust, so there is no reason why it would create a blast crater. Even if the ground were less solid, the amount of thrust being produced by the engines at the point of landing and take off is very low in comparison to a landing on Earth because of the relative lack of gravitational pull.
the lander's engines were throttled back just before landing, and it did not hover long enough to form a crater or kick up much dust, the Smithsonian's Launius said. "Science fiction movies depict this big jet of fire coming out as [spacecraft] land, but that's not how they did it on the moon," he added. "That's not the way they would do it now or anytime in the future."
There were multiple light sources, Launius said. "You've got the sun, the Earth's reflected light, light reflecting off the lunar module, the spacesuits, and also the lunar surface."
It's also important to note that the lunar surface is not flat, he added. "If an object is in a dip, you're going to get a different shadow compared to an object next to it that is on a level surface."

Are you stating that the Apollo 11 mission left reflective sheets on the surface of the moon? I have no idea where you're going with this.Miles said:I'd like to argue you on this :3
What about the reflective sheets placed on the moon that you can see light reflecting back through a telescope? I think that there is enough proof.
Please, @"Cann!bal", list your sources (other than Wikipedia). I'd like to look into your responses. Thanks.Cann!bal said:So you thoroughly believe the University of Arizona, along with many other academic groups fabricated their results in attempt to keep the masses ignorant? Despite them being independent academic troops and having no government affiliation.
There's nothing to suggest fabrication with their results.

Sector said:The flag was placed into the ground several feet away from the lander. If the ground were to be solid, could you care to explain how they so easily got it into the ground?
He seems to have had very little struggle getting that flag into "solid" ground. The video came straight from NASA.
I apologize. My attention was immediately drawn to the image and the preceding statement. Surely, it's understandable.Cann!bal said:I would like it if you answered my question.

Anyways, let's think about this. If I believe in a hoax, that I believe was produced by the government, why on Earth would I believe government-affiliated websites?
That's a given.
Sector said:EDIT: I was in mid-post while you posted your most recent response.
Also, @"Cann!bal", what are you implying with this image? Are you providing an image for validity of the mission are implying that I said objects were left behind on the moon. Again, I'm confused. Please, elaborate.
Also, congratulations on your 5,000th post.
I'd like to create an intermission between our debate to congratulate you on 5,000 posts.Cann!bal said:I did it to simply manifest evidence.
Thanks.
