YouTube - Moon Landing Hoax - Wires Footage

The "wire glint" is simply light reflecting back into the camera. Simple debunk on that one.

Watching the way the dust behaves really just seals it for me. Especially when the astronaut gets up from falling about 2 minutes in.
If you watch the clip, you will see dust thrown up by the right boot. The dust goes up in a perfect parabolic arc and falls back down to the surface. The Moon isn't the Earth! If this were filmed on the Earth, which has air, the dust would have billowed up and floated over the surface. This clearly does not happen in the video clips; the dust goes up and right back down. It's actually a beautiful demonstration of ballistic flight in a vacuum. Had NASA faked this shot, they would have had to have a whole set (which would have been very large) with all the air removed. We don't have this technology today.
