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?

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

Delusional babble.

Did you know there is no breeze on the Moon because there is no air
there, Arindam?

 
 
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.

They were intelligent professionals, not teenagers making an internet
video, crackpot.

Nothing about the Moon says "they would go up slowly" nor that the suits
wouldn't be damaged by a fall, crackpot.
