That's not how it works though. It doesn't just move away from the source of force in linear fashion. Undoubtedly some would come back to land on the modules topside surfaces. It's inevitable. Take off the rose colored glasses man.
Yes that is how it works.
Dust does not move predictably.
In air, yes.
So explain to me how no air would keep your lunar module completely clean and dust free while landing in very thick dust?
He's saying the dust blew away from the module, thus keeping the module itself clean.
The dust moves away from the thrust, which is sideways, agreed? There is no air to cause resistance to the dust, which is what makes it plume on earth, so it just keeps traveling in the same direction the thrusters blew it until the small amount of gravity slowly pulls it back to the ground….away from the source.
Thanks for the illustration moonboi, I couldn't envision what you were talking about
The thrust is downward, which would throw up a large cloud in many directions depending on which portion of the thruster's force came into contact with it. There is very little gravity on the moon, which would also allow it to plume.
How can there be no plume with thousands of pounds of thrust directed at it? It's going to throw the dust up in some fashion. It's not going to cleverly avoid every surface of the craft.
Yeah that's not shadow divergence, that's two light sources. What is that shadow in the foreground coming from? Where'd you get the pic from?
A site that debunks the moon landing.
