Quote by: Rocky  The corner of collins' jacket is hanging and swinging like a pendulum. The only thing that could possibly explain it woud be that the craft was either accelerating or slowing down but according to the video they were halfway to the moon.
Collins' jacket isn't stiff so the stiffness isn't what is keeping it down.
I think you are stretching your imagination to see what you want to see. |
I can see what you are getting at, the corner of the jacket is moving from side to side but that is what a human body does when in perambulatory motion. What is doesn’t appear to be doing is going up or down and lack of movement in either of those directions would be in keeping with a weightless environment. Now look at the rest of the jacket, the cuffs, the way the folds are moving and the fabric billowing, it isn’t behaving as it should in normal gravity. However, to be objective this effect cold possibly be simulated if it was filmed in slow motion, so as evidence it is probably inconclusive.
What isn’t inconclusive is the fact that all the Apollo missions were tracked from earth, all the way to the moon and back, not only from the U.S. but from all over the world including tracking stations in the USSR. If there had been the slightest hint of fakery, it would have been all over the front pages of Pravda.
Finally, as to my observational skills, (throws modesty to the winds) they are excellent. I’m an artist and an illustrator, observing and using critical approach to that observation is primary to my craft.
