The Missing Link

Inconspicuous links between human footprints on the Moon and mechanical Rover tracks on Mars.

Apparantly the moon has 1/6 the gravity of Earth and the suits were rigid assisting the astronauts to stay upright. Bending was difficult so was walking so tools were designed for samples to be taken standing up and hopping was easier than walking.... except they were able to sit in the Lunar 'buggy' ?

I can't seem to find anything about the boots being weighted...so when they hopped it stands to reason they must have tipped forward as the upper parts of the body would have weighed more than the bottem half and 1/6 gravity is still gravity...isn't it ? The boots must have been weighted, but why can't we see it in the X-ray ?

Frustrating isn't it, as far as I would imagine the Hi-res should be a much better quality but that is definitely not the case.
It was actually the 'machine' image that clearly indicates this better Image
AS12-47-7014. The detail in the lo-res is much clearer than in the hi-res. In fact the hi-res has some serious tampering to make the anomaly appear as though it is part of the astronauts boot prints. Now this is absolutely ridiculous for the simple reason that the boots they were wearing could not possibly make those imprints (unless someone else with different boots was there as well). I'm no forensic scientist but I do watch CSI and a certain sole can only make a certain print. Below is an image of the boot soles of the boots used on all the Apollo missions and an image of the prints these made on the moon. Compare these with the smaller, rounded prints of the tampering and VOILA you have a 'smoking gun'

Astronaut Bean with replica of his boot sole he uses in his artwork.

An image of lots of prints and the boot



Sole of a boot from Apollo 17 mission



I even have an x-ray of the boots



My point....nowhere in these images does the boot taper in in the same way as the one Mr Bean is holding up ! The boot design that was apparantly used on all of the Apollo Missions was a simple elongated oval shape with 9 ridges.

Below are a comparision of the two 'machine' images. Images taken from here http://history.nasa.gov/alsj/a12/images12.html

I invite you to zoom in and look more closely at the supposed prints in the Hi-res and then look at the examples above and you will see my point (I hope)...
