Why doesn’t the first step on the moon match Neil Armstrong’s spacesuit boots?

It does.
But at first sound it seems weird.
What makes you think
that it does not?
Oh, I get it. You’ve
probably been looking at some of the “Apollo was a hoax” websites or YouTube
videos. That’s a problem because there are two (and only two) different kinds
of people who create those videos & sites:
· People who don’t
bother to do their research and understand how things worked in the
Apollo project (or aerospace engineering in general) but go ahead and make up
stories and videos and web pages anyway.
· And people who do
understand how some of the things worked in the Apollo project, but
have decided to make up lies so they can make money or gain
some sort of fame from selling their books & videos & stories.
It’s often difficult
to tell which is which (although sometimes they make it obvious in their
publications because of the way they edit documentation and leave out details
from the original that would prove that they’re just making stuff up.)
But I suspect that
most of the people who use the “boot prints don’t match the boots” argument in
their videos and pages are of the second kind: The ones who lie about it.
Because they go through the trouble of making their videos and they leave out
one important detail that it would only take them about 15 seconds to look up.
Look at the two
pictures below.
The first one is from
a “Apollo was a hoax” page. It shows the boot print in the dust. And then it
shows what they claim is the astronaut’s boot.
And the pattern of
ridges in the dust does not match the pattern that you see in the bottom of the
foot area in what they claim is the boot. They even draw a nice little arrow
over for you just in case you might miss it. Isn’t that cute.
But what they are
showing you in the left hand half of that picture is not the
astronaut’s boot. It’s the bottom of the leg section of the space suit.
The boot is another
covering that goes over the bottom for added protection from the heat and sharp
edges of rocks and things. And it’s separate from the bottom of the leg of the
suit just like your boots are separate from your pants and feet.
You can see it in the
second picture below.
And you can also see
that it has the 9 ridges across it. Just like the picture of the ridges that it
left in the dust on the moon.
This is just one
example of the kind of thing people make up when they want to say, “Apollo was
a hoax.” And all of their other arguments are similar to this one. They are
either made-up stories (lies) or else they are misinterpretations of physics or
the lunar environment published by people who don’t bother to do the research
to understand what it is supposed to look like — but then they go ahead and
publish their stories anyway.

lunar space suit (without the boot.)

boot prints on the moon.

Picture #2:
The boot that was used
to protect the bottom of the space suit.
Notice that it has the
same ridges as the boot prints on the moon.
