"(3) Although they were apparently operating under one-sixth gravity (and should therefore have been able to jump six times as high as on Earth) there is no film showing them doing this. According to NASA, their backpacks and suits increased their weight so much that their overall weight was only twice that on Earth. Unless the backpacks were full of lead, this seems unlikely. In fact, there is no evidence that they could jump even twice as high as on Earth."
Apparently this guy has never been on a multi-day hike. Backpacks don't need to be filled with lead to become quite heavy, and astronauts wouldn't be carrying something as simple as camping equipment either.
"c) most of the electrical equipment would have malfunctioned."
And the thousands of other electronic equipment drifting all over the Solar System haven't malfunctionned because.....?
This site is hellish. The grammar is even screwed right at the start of the website.
