The Hollywood special effects folks did a fine job with the whole moon-landing thing. Kudos.

Fine job? They told the astronauts to hop like bunnies instead of walk (for realism), but didn’t give them bunny ears to match. It’s little inconsistencies like this that tell me someone wasn’t paying enough attention to details.

We got to discussing the dust problem on the moon from the rocket blast as they landed I don’t remember the calculations we used but based on how fine and powdery the dust was plus the low gravity it would have taken at the least two days before they could even see outside... Easy to set up a computer simulator to get the answer today.

Especially good for 50 year old special effects.

Riiiiiiiiight.
