LM exhausts and the lunar surface

[Dalhousie]

Just came across this great paper studying the interaction of the the LM exhaust and the lunar surface. Covers video and still photo analysis, and comparison with less on volcanic regolith in Hawaii.  References dust activity after engine cutoff, depth of excavation and more.

Another paper here, including physical and numerical modelling

Thanks for the move LO

No problem... sorry for taking so long to do it, I've been swamped at work since before Christmas.

Spotted an error. Metzger et al talk about NASA doing Stuff for 7 decades. They were only founded 50 years prior to that article. Unless they include NACA of the aerofoil fame in that.

Two very important papers on the interaction between rocket exhaust and lunar regolith and that is all that can be said almost a month after going up?  Especially given the constant calls of no blast crater by the HBs?  One trivial (in context historical nitpick?

Seems like the newer breed of HB stick to YT, where they don't have to answer questions or provide evidence.

Don't forget how easily they can ignore facts that dispute their claims, and how often they say that the answer isn't what "they feel it ought to be"...
