What's going on here?
NASA said the difficulties were attributed to their semi-rigid cumbersome suits and the heavy backpack life support systems which supposedly weighed 185 pounds on earth.
Somebody is lying.
It's important to understand that the combined weight of the astronaut’s spacesuit and life support system could not have exceeded 62 pounds using NASA's own figures in one-sixth gravity. This could hardly be considered a sizable fraction of their earth weight, yet NASA claims to this day that their figures are correct for men who were moving with dancing steps in kangaroo jumps the day before.
Slight hills seem to present a formidable challenge now. If the moon's weak gravity presented such an incredible challenge to astronauts in walking up hill, then perhaps the excellent physical condition which these men were supposed to be in was overrated? It was expected to hear comments by the astronauts, and the ease of moving up hills and in traversing long distances with little effort at great
Speed.
Fortunately, Apollo missions 15 16 and 17 did not
subject astronauts quite as much to the moon's hostile environment and tremendous overpowering one-sixth fucking gravity. The lunar rover was to transport them most of the way to their destinations, and it didn't weigh much either. Yet, when we saw it hit a bump it did not fly way up into the air, and neither does the dust kicked up by the wheels of this amazing craft. Live long and prosper and may the force be with you fucking retarded sheeple.
