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.

There was the dropped hammer and feather experiment performed by
Apollo 15 astronaut David Scott.

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
so they stopped doing that.

 
Apes were so naive then and are still so gullible now.

Delusional crackpots know nothing, including history.
