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, 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.

You mean other than that, crackpot?

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
nonsenses is awesome!

Outrageous nonsenses is all that you post, Arindam.

 
Woof woof woof-woof woof

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

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