I'll address each, a final time:
That well may be true but it's still obfuscation and evasion!

Quote
#1: Explain why you ignored this and reasserted your claim point #3 above?

Answer: This footage shows sand falling faster than John.   If you insist there is a "parabola of scant dust" - we have the hi-rez photo that explains this - we CLEARLY see that "at apex" there is a considerable amount of dust well-above the boot's TOP...     So this "parabola" that you love, would be explained by this dust - which CLEARLY either launched FASTER from the start, or launched off the top of the boot half-way up. There is also VERY CLEAR evidence that when he's just 6 inches off the ground, a small mass of dust is ABOVE the bottom of his boot (to the right) which is a CLEAR INDICATOR of a FASTER launch speed. The only conclusion we can collectively draw here is that "at best" this example has some ambiguity.   At "worst" it shows that dust which rises alongside the foot - FALLS FASTER.   My claim is stronger than yours.  But I'm OK with simply backing off on my claim here, because of the ambiguities/obscurities involved.
You have given an answer that doesn't address the actual question! You accused me of supplying doctored footage and said it was not in NASA's version. A lie.
1. Here is an animated gif, taken from YOUR video in the opening post. It is clear beyond any doubt that the footage you snidely claimed was doctored has not been because the same clear parabola rises (nowhere near the soles of his boots!) to the same height and obviously at the same time.

Explain why you ignored this and reasserted your claim point #3 above?


Quote
#2: Time up = time down - we see time up very clearly, explain why you keep evading this obvious evidence?

Answer: This rule only applies to simple projectile motion where there is nothing influencing the rise/fall "during flight".
Luckily that is exactly what we are seeing. A clear parabolic arc in free flight rising in perfect sync.
Quote
Also, if you launch something faster, it'll stay in the air longer (it's a function of launch velocity).   So this Parabola that you love, peaks higher than the boot bottom -- so again, was the result of a different Launch velocity. It's faint, rises to a different height, and shows evidence at launch of there being a "faster moving" cluster of dust from the onset.
Oh, I see what you did there. You took the tiny bit at the top of an inch or two and used that to discount the whole thing. Physics doesn't work like that. It's more than close enough in sync and height and your response is deliberate obfuscation. You know fully well what the implication for this is.

Quote
#3: Does your "100% integrity allow you to even answer this(!) let alone admit it?

Answer: See above.  IF this GIF (showing something that doesn't appear on NASA's own link) is legit, i.e.
And another lie as you avoided question 1 completely!

Quote
there is a faint mist of dust between the boots and HIGHER than the bottoms - there are a few viable scientifically sound explanations for this.   See above.
Your scant inaccurate attention to the bloody questions is getting kind of irritating. Nothing in that "answer" is relevant to the question:

3. In that gif, there is a shadow of dust moving forwards on the left and when he is descending there is slight ground discolouration as the dust settles - it moves forwards as a wave.

Does your "100% integrity allow you to even answer this(!) let alone admit it?




Quote
#4: Explain why you have not honestly acknowledged this, preferring to find instances where conditions are more favourable also on modern clear footage?

Answer: Your volleyball examples had THREE critical deficiencies.  (1) They were far away, (2) he was jumping sideways (causes more dispersing), and (3) whatever effect is needed to Pull the Sand up to the HEIGHT OF THE BOTTOM OF THE FOOT -- was ABSENT.   Just as Young's other jump had little to no dust rise - -not much to see.
Just evasion again. My examples showed a similar distance to Young and the same dispersal and difficulty of surface material against surface material. You don't even mention video quality! The only major rise of dust on Young's jump was the parabola. The rest as you keep avoiding, tracks forwards with shadow and surface discolouration. Due to the nature of the volleyball quality, an honest person could enlarge it maybe 3 or 4 times and it would still be better than the lunar quality video, rendering your obfuscation about its distance moot!

Quote
If your example were closer, and showed thick mass of dust rising up to the bottom of their feet - then you'd have a viable comparison.
Your integrity has not increased at all:


Quote
I gave a PERTINENT volleyball example - which satisfies ALL 3 of these requirements, and we clearly see the sand falling at the SAME speed as the man.
No you didn't. Yours was sideways on. Sand was wetter underneath.

Quote
#5: Why have you ignored this? Please don't insult everyone with some bollocks about coincidence.

Answer: For Hippity example, there is a lot of chaos for each jump.  When you kick up dust, it's not just "one steady stream of particles all with the same launch angle and speed".   The fact that the closest example shows evidence of a "along-the-ground high point collision" - indicates that "this concept is at play here".    You cannot discount it.  Therefore there is enough ambiguity and missing clarity for us to make solid conclusions. Yet here again, we do see the Dust that rises beneath his feet very clearly, disappears.  The only sand that keeps moving was "kicked" at a high velocity than Cernan... and SOME OF IT with an extra upward launch velocity.
You really need to start answering the bloody question given! Nowhere did you address the question:

5. The following Gene Cernan gif was presented to and ignored. It shows that the same soil impact occurs at landing on 3 jumps.

Why have you ignored this? Please don't insult everyone with some bollocks about coincidence.


Quote
#6: How is this clearly not very solid proof the soil ISN'T too falling too fast?

Answer: See above.   Loose/dry sand at a high horizontal/parallel velocity, will bounce, roll, and scuttle -- until it hits a high point, or the velocity dissipates.   SOME of this sand could be coming in from above -- but we have NO TRAJECTORY VISIBLE -- so we cannot measure it's "parabola" at all -- if it was launched upwards faster than he's jumping himself -- the timing will be extended.
You are certainly not answering this honestly. There is clearly visible regolith coming down as he descends. If you need to lie to make your case you really need to work on that "100% integrity"



ARE YOU SERIOUSLY CLAIMING THERE IS NO DESCENDING DUST WAVE ENDING WITH THE VISIBLE SPLASH AS HE LANDS!

Quote
#7: Explain to the forum how you can possibly suggest does this on Earth, that height, distance and speed? In addition, notice how the astronauts are exhibiting comedic motion when adjusted.

Answer: Watch the sharp/dramatic inflection in his backpack -- 10 degrees?  This is a sign of counter balancing this leg motion.  It is not "superhuman" for him to be able to conduct this maneuver, especially if this spacesuit is a facade (not the 100 lb real deal)...   If you can't prove this to be a "super-human foot maneuver" this PROVES nothing.   In MLH theory, this was a deliberate event, inserted for Apollogists -- and he was coached to "kick it as hard as you can, while trying to make it look effortless" -- and he only partially succeeded... his 10 degree torso flinch, shows sign of stress here.
Your whole answer is clear proof that you will jump through endless hoops to maintain your claim. Nobody with integrity looks at that activity and sees anything that you could do on Earth. This was part of an unbroken long sequence of footage and he manages to do that, for that height? What a waste of time you are being!

All are answered.

#1: As Young jumps, the toe of his boot launches regolith upwards. Some if it is launched higher than others, because physics. Impart the same energy to objects of different mass and they respond on a way relative to that mass.
#2: Everything else is pure conjecture on your part, based on a biased interpretation of poor quality TV footage.
#3: Put the footage in its proper context: hours long EVA broadcast featuring multiple occasions where the astronauts cross paths and do other things that would make any kind of harness impossible. Lunar regolith is repeatedly shown to behave in a manner entirely consistent with an air less low gravity environment, and there's the added bonus of a completely accurate view of Earth.
#4: Oh, and astronaut movement looking funny when you speed up the footage isn't the win you think it is.

#1: Correct.  It's messy and ambiguous.  The faint dust mist that Mag40 loves, is ambiguous/unclear.
#2: I don't think the Side-Jumping Astronaut is "Conjecture"...  This is MY FOCUS, because it's the one is closest-up and doesn't have dust being flung chaotically.  Almost all dust involved here, rises beneath the foot, mostly upwards.   What do you think of this one?
#3: "Crossing paths" - perhaps you should make a thread on this, and present what you believe are the "best cases" that present something "non-feasible to fake".
#4: This isn't a "win" other than the claim that "this unnatural looking movement is non-feasible to have been done on purpose" (so that when it was slowed down, it wouldn't look too slow motion).

Nope.
#1: Your GIF emphasizes something.  On the NASA link I do not see it.  Faint pixelation makes this hard to discern.  So for sake of argument I GRANTED you the "dust between the feet"... but there are two good explanations for it -- both given.
a. The dust rising faster than the boot from the launch... it was about 50% ahead of the boot.
b. Kicked dust "forward" was ABOVE THE BOOT (shown in the photo) - so clearly this could have been your parabola.

#3:  The entire John Young video is plagued with ambiguity -- PROVEN by the photo which clearly shows dust ABOVE the boot at apex.... therefore we are NOT dealing with "two objects both launched at the same time" or "falling from the same distance".   The ONLY dust you can meaningfully measure here is the dust BELOW the bottom of the boot that never rises above the boot.  If this dust falls faster than the astronaut, then "Houston we've got a problem."   Once there is dust ABOVE IT -- which is faint and dissipated - we have nothing to go on.

#5: In all three Cernan jumps, the dust is landing many feet in front of him -- therefore there is "flinging/kicking" action.   The chaos, and the far distance makes this ambiguous.   If you throw sand sideways along the ground, it will scuttle... it's doesn't stop instantly.   The fact that for 10 frames it all shows up in ONE NON-MOVING DOT -- indicates the "scuttle" action.   All 3 hops are similar in nature.... all potentially with the same scuttle effect... this should be expected.

===
Why do you keep avoiding the ONE EXAMPLE we have that is most clear?  the side-leap.

@Mag40 - your video of the Hippity -- SHOWS the dust falling FASTER than Cernan!

The fact that it doesn't fully stop it's horizontal motion, is expected.   It rises with his boot... to the boot level... then FALLS FASTER!!...  then scuttles along the ground until it hits a high spot.

This dust STARTED at the same level -- then FALLS TO THE GROUND _- it's right in front of your eyes.

Since it's far away... I've agreed to ignore these.    But if you insist on using them - you MUST see the dust at boot level falling faster than Cernan.  It is blatant.

In this image - we can see that ALL DUST that USED TO BE LEVEL WITH THE BOOT, is not down at ground level, scuttling along.

This is just denial and a demonstration (not that any were needed) that nothing you can say to this guy will make any difference.

Ok fellow members, tell me I'm wrong and I'll just shut up.

This is Cernan carrying a wave of dust to the same height as his boot. Obviously lower parts of the wave fall quicker.
I can see the wave rising and falling all the way to the ground in sync with his jump:

No, you are simply dead wrong on this. I can see clearly what Mag40 points out.

Great - take an image snapshot mid-way - where the dust is all on the ground, while the astronaut is still at apex - and show me how this dust is also "still at apex"..  If Cernan is still at apex, but the dust is not -- then the dust has fallen down FASTER than Cernan.

Please show me how the dust remained at apex along with Cernan.

Also - if it were following the path declared by Mag40, and falling to the ground at the same time (even though we see NONE of this suspended dust at apex)....  it would NOT ALL FALL IN THE SAME EXACT SPOT FOR 1/3rd of a second!!...  it would be chaotic.    HOWEVER, if instead the dust is scuttling across the ground (which it clearly is ) -- then it will all collide at the SAME SINGLE NON-MOVING POINT _- which is WHAT WE SEE.   This is ONLY explainable via "scuttling dust"... NOT AT ALL via "airborne dust following the same parabola as Cernan"...   And especially not for 1/3rd of a second...

Do you picture some perfect stream of dust all aligned all traveling the same path -- but with a 1/3rd second span??

It is by far not the 'most clear' example, because of the image quality and the shadow obscuring good visuals.

You're done fella! As I have said I am not even close to being one of the resident experts and all on my own I have kicked your arse and disproven your thread. Your replies are exercises in how to evade, obfuscate and deny!

Post 180 showing how your answers are avoiding the actual question and/or making obviously biased and poor responses.

Now look at this 0.1 of a second later- the dust is all on the ground, while Cernan is still at his apex.

LunarOrbit has sentenced me to unending debates with someone who doesn't understand physics.

He might as well put me in a room with a 3 year old and tell me to debate Santa Claus until I concede that Santa is real.

Most of the dust didn't reach the apex Cernan reached.

But tell me, from the 4.5 hours EVA 2 this is the best thing you can come up with?

It is by far not the 'most clear' example, because of the image quality and the shadow obscuring good visuals.
True that the shadows occlude, but intermixed there are two specific consecutive frames that are most revealing...   Frame 13 and 14.

In 13, the dust has a brownish tint, which goes all the way up to the heel of his boot, and about 40% of the way down, is more dust.

Frame 14 is more telling -- all of the dust from previous frame has fallen below that background leg shadow...  This is just ONE FRAME difference. 

After Frame 14 all we see is the "dust clouds at ground level" for a few more frames.

So in order for this dust to fall so fast in 14, it must have already been on it's way down... which indicates that the prior frames 10-11 have dust that is ABOVE THIS (and yes, it's too occluded by shadows).

But if the dust in frame 13 we are "apex" it wouldn't be falling so immediately (as acceleration takes time)... so it must have already been moving at a fast pace so that in Frame 14, it's moved a long distance down.

I wish the shadow weren't in the background, so that we wouldn't have to "Extrapolate the trajectory backwards" from Frame 14 to 13 to 12 and 11.   But the motion from 13 to 14 -- demonstrates fast dropping before it reached frame 13 -- therefore in 11 and 12 - it MUST have been higher.

====
Although this proof is truly clear... the fact that it requires extrapolation, makes it harder to prove to someone who is biased against the implications of said proof.

Of the 4 proofs I've made -- this sand one is my least favorite, for these reasons (not because I don't see the proof, but because it's the hardest to prove to anyone without a stronger sense of math/physics, which is the vast majority of people -- who else uses Physics in daily life??  Not many.)

No it doesn't go all the way up to his heel, that is much more likely shadow.

No it is not, it is unclear what is shadow and what is dust. What you call dust seem much more the shadow of his left foot on his right foot.

...

Curious, because in the footage I have (A17V.1465003.MPG), I can clearly see Cernan, and to a lesser degree Schmitt, kicking up the dust which moves in front of them, and hitting the surface at about the same time they do, especially in Cernan's 'hippity hops', where the dust is landing just after Cernan, showing that he's moving down hill, as the dust is a head of him (lining up with the photos of the area).

Shadow is black - no light.  No color.   The dust is brownish.  There is clear brownish particles beneath the heel which are NOT shadow.  The shadow edge is SHARP and STABLE -- so when there is coloration that is not directly in front of the shadow, you can see it.   The shadow itself cannot make this "brownish color" nor color that is not directly in front of the shadow..  we have BOTH.

There's too much "filled in pixels" which are NOT in front of the shadow to ignore them.

From just these two frames we see a WHOLE BUNCH of brownish pixels over and around the shadows.  One frame later -- all gone - except for below the shadows.

Have you downloaded the MP4, paused, it and manually dragged the frames?  It's hard to deny that there's a LOT of dust here, because of the coloration and the sheer volume that is not explained by the thinner/sharp sharp shadows.

Try it this that way.
