Starship Asterisk*

So is this a real picture from the Moon or one of the staged ones?

It looks like one of the real ones to me but I was only 10 at the time, though I do remember my microbiology professor at Los Angeles Community College bringing in some similar photos in 1972 or 73 (It might even have been a National Geographic).

If you look at his suit it's quite obvious that he has most likely fallen down a time or two, if not many times. Of course they never show footage of that - probably because it doesn't exist. But consider how awkward it would be to walk in a suit that is pressurized to 1 atm within a vacuum, and then move by making giant leaps in low G. I'm sure they fell down all the time.

Then again, their suits were probably static and attracted the dust like crazy.

Very nice image, it makes you dream of the possibilties

staged, just before you get to the " Grapevine " hill

I feel we, those who care deeply about our Lunar Program, were cheated by bureaucracy out of Apollos 18, 19, and 20. However, this long delay has given me the time and opportunity to study and prepare for the return to the Moon. Having met Captain Cernan and subsequently read his book "Last Man", and also read Mr. Armstrong's "First Man" as well as studying Lunar and planetary geology over the past several years, I (as well as innumerable others) have hopes of being the "Next Man". <><

Has anyone ever attempted to take some staged photos? Surely this would be a great way to end all the conspiracists' theories? Using 1960s/70s technology only also.....

Impossible to stage in light of the return on Surveyor 3 pieces. And the rocks......where the hell on Earth do you find rocks aged like that ?

Check this out! Looks real to me. Not a bit of a breeze.
