Quoted By:
Wilford mentioned that Neil Armstrong found that he could move around easily in his spacesuit and heavy backpack under a lunar gravity one-sixth of earth's.
The costume according to NASA weighed 185 earth pounds and was flexible enough so that they could walk, dig, climb, and even place instruments on the moon's surface. Wilford also indicated that the astronauts did not find walking and working on the moon as taxing as had been forecast and that they bounded about easily in what they called kangaroo hops that in all actuality appeared no different than a kid skipping sideways along the street.
The idea of one-sixth gravity presents a major problem in explaining how the astronauts really performed compared to how they should have performed. Tthe difficulty in jumping can in no way be attributed to space suit bulkiness, however a substantial lunar gravity would create problems, but why would they lie about the gravity and why would they continue to lie about it even unto
this day if the gravity was not the one-sixth of earth's as they have stated?
Why lie? Well, we don't really know unless they didn't go to the moon, or unless they went to the moon, but the televised and photographed portions of what the astronauts supposedly did on the supposedly moon were not really on the moon, but were
filmed somewhere else.
Why would they do that?
No one really knows that answer either unless they couldn't really get to the moon
or unless they were afraid that some catastrophe would happen and they did not want this to be seen by the American people. Although, we don't know how they would have explained the disappearance of all the astronauts had such a thing really happened. Isn't that interesting?
