Bad:
The next argument presented on the show deals with the lunar dust. As the
lander descended, we clearly see dust getting blown away by the rocket.
The exhaust should have blown all the dust away, yet we can clearly see the
astronauts' footprints in the dust mere meters from the lander. Obviously,
when NASA faked this they messed it up.
Good:
Once again, the weird alien environment of the Moon comes to play. Imagine
taking a bag of flour and dumping it onto your kitchen floor (kids: ask
your folks first!). Now bend over the pile, take a deep breath, and blow
into it as hard as you can. Poof! Flour goes everywhere. Why? Because the
momentum of your breath goes into the flour, which makes it move. But note that
the flour goes up, and sideways, and aloft into the air. If you blow hard
enough, you might see little curlicues of air lifting the flour farther than
your breath alone could have, and doing so to dust well outside of where
your breath actually blew.
That's the heart of this problem. We are used to air helping us blow things
around. The air itself is displaced by your breath, which pushed on more
air, and so on. On the Earth, your breath might blow flour that was dozens
of centimeters away, even though your actual breath didn't reach that far.
On the Moon, there is no air. The only dust that gets blown around by the
exhaust of the rocket (which, remember, isn't nearly as strong as the
HBs claim) is the dust physically touched by the exhaust, or dust hit
by other bits of flying dust. In the end, only the dust directly under
or a bit around the rocket was blown out by the exhaust. The rest was
left where it was. Ironically, the dust around the landing site was probably
a bit thicker than before, since the dust blown out would have piled
up there.
I can't resist: another Hoax Believer argument bites the dust.
Bad:
The next evidence also involves pictures. In all the pictures taken by the
astronauts, the shadows are not black. Objects in shadow can be seen,
sometimes fairly clearly, including a plaque on the side of the lander
that can be read easily. If the Sun is the only source of light on the
Moon, the HBs say, and there is no air to scatter that light
