Generally I don’t like to go into details, frivolously, but…….. We can not talk about sand when
talking about the Moon. As “we” know, sand is the grinded sea shells, and, there are none up
there.
Sand is a general name for pulverized rock. Therefore, the beaches on the island of La Palma for example are black, because the sand comes from the black vulcanic stones.
One thing is for certain, there are absolutely no moisture in the material we are talking about.
So, we are in fact talking about rough dirt. You can not compare it to talc as it is waaay too fine.
To make a long story short, you just can not create such an imprint in the material, without
moisture and air.
Nonsense, and I would advice you a few material science classes on this one. Every solid can deform both elasticly and plasticly. The latter deformation is one that cannot be undone. Plastic deformation depends on the amount of load applied on a solid and on the yield strength of the same material. In soft solid rock it won’t be to difficult to leave your footprints behind.
I noticed a thing that no one else has so far. When the Apollo-16 Astro-not defies the laws of
physics, even for the moon with little gravity, and gets up; a piece of something falls off his suit.
Don’t know what it is, but, it sure comes down at a bout 9.6 metres per second. A bit too fast for
the Moon don’t you think?
Can you proof it really comes down at 9.6 m/s or is it just your guess?. Note that an object on the moon falling from a height of approximately 1.5 meters still reaches 2-3 m/s at impact!
I also think the guy putting up the site, sensationalises things a bit. Not everything he says is
logical, or fake. The flag waves and gets knocked about a lot, as if there is a very high wind
blowing. But, in fact the Astro-not is twisting the pole. However, after he lets go to pose for the
photo op, the flag keeps waving.
Spring-like behaviour. So what?
