A couple of thoughts – I’ve reviewed Percy’s email – Thanks DaveC – According to his “analysis” there is a point before and after the jump where the video could have been edited and the reverse footage cut in. By Percy’s accounting this cut of reversed video is over 5 minutes long!
Granted Neal Armstrong wasn’t moving for the entire period – possible only a min or two – but in order for Percy’s claims to be valid Armstrong had to back out of the hatch – climb down the ladder – jump to the ground – and move around- in REVERSE in 1G - making it all look like it happened correctly in 1/6 G!
Amazing – simply Amazing - he deserves an Emmy!
Also – wouldn’t that pesky wind that kept blowing the flag around have moved the camera as well? Sorry, I guess they remembered to close the doors that time!

And if NASA was so good at getting it to look right, why didn't they do it more often; you know, in order to show more "proof" that they really went there?
It's just ill-logic.

Couldn’t have put it better myself.
