It is curious that the astronauts seem to be moving in slow motion horizontally when moving about the Moon's surface.
Not if you understand how low gravity and bulky pressure suits work.
Why? I only saw one or two American flags and the low gravity rig was made and operated by a trapeze company.
There were prominent American flags and it was filmed on a US Military base. The show was about proving or disproving the honesty of the US Government. Clear conflict of interest there.
The Alameda Naval Air Station closed in 1997 and transferred to the city of Alameda more than 10 years before that episode was flilmed.
Then feel free to film your own low gravity rig in slow motion and let us know if it looks any better.
By the way, what did you think of the 1/6 g vomit comet results?
I think that segment at the end was forced by the MythBusters actor, personally. His goal was to specifically replicate the astronauts in Moon Landing footage. In 1/6 g you can make yourself look slow motion if you force yourself to, by controlling the forward momentum of your skips, and it would be a lot easier to do that than in 1g.
But don't you find it interesting that the only way that they could recreate the smoothness of the moon footage was in an actual 1/6 g environment? If you think that you can do a better job of recreating the moon footage in a 1g environment, then I'm sure that a lot of people would be happy to see it.
But you wouldn't naturally move in slow horizontal motion in 1/6 g.
Wearing a bulky pressure suit in 1/6 g is not a natural environment for humans, so who are you to say what natural movement should look like if you haven't experienced it yourself?
