Duh! (click for full size) |
In
the famous Apollo 11 photo to the left we see this same phenomenon
repeated--a perfectly straight boot edge once again intersects with
perfectly straight boot print marks. No distortion of the print is
evident whatsoever.
Are we to believe that this is somehow the result of
1/6th gravity when in fact the boot print had to have been made
under these same conditions in the first place? Moreover,
one wonders how the astronaut managed to snap this particular photo when
the camera was rigidly attached to his chest? Even if he could
be this flexible wearing a bulky, multi-layered (not to mention pressurized)
spacesuit, the astronaut would have had to stand on that one foot in order
to take this photo which guarantees that his full weight (50 - 70 lbs or
more) was applied on top of the boot print in question. |
