Arindam remembers his father wondering after watching the Apollo moon
landing video in 1969, why they did not jump up at least three feet. He
also thought they could at least have thrown a stone up and thus show it
falling slowly.

Why did they not jump up at least two feet up in Apollo 11? They really
would have to do that if they really were on the Moon, could not help
doing so as they were fit men weighing only 60 Kg say?

They had other things to do,

Whatever they did they should have far more lightly and peacefully
instead of shuffling and clomping around flags waving in the breeze.
there was the fear of falling down and

damaging the suits, the suits were not designed for gymnastics and the
suits were heavier than the occupants.

Har har har har. Worthy objections if they were shuffling under piano
wires on Earth, with threat of them coming undone. But on the Moon they
would go up slowly and come down slowly with no damage done. And nothing
prevented them from throwing one of the moon rocks up to show how slowly
it went up or down.
Woof woof woof woof
Is their no limit to the stupidity of the Einsteinian apes?

Actually the Apollo 11 astronauts had to make a jump of 3.3 feet to get
to the ladder to get back in the lander because the landing gear did not
fully compress.

Woof woof, the capacity of apes to believe in the most outrageous

Outrageous nonsenses is all that you post, Arindam.

Apollo 16 astronauts John Young and Charlie Duke were able to jump
around four feet. While they could theoretically jump much higher,
they jumped shorter distances due to the extra weight of their
spacesuits and the need to avoid falling off balance or damaging
their equipment.

Charlie Duke eventually fell and landed on his life support system
