The moon does not harbor any appreciable atmosphere. Therefore no parachute, no matter how large, will operate properly on the moon. Air is required in order to inflate the parachute and slow down the descending object. Remember geologist Harrison Schmidt, the ONLY scientist to visit the moon? He was one of the last two people to ever touch the lunar surface. (Apollo 17). He demonstrated what would happen when two objects of different masses were dropped simultaneously from about five feet above the moon’s surface. He dropped a hammer and a feather. They fell at the same rate and hit the surface at exactly the same instant! There was no atmosphere to cause the feather to flutter. Note: Careful observers may notice that in videos of the the descending Apollo Lunar Lander (“The Eagle has landed”) lunar dust is kicked up by the craft’s engines. The dust moves out in straight lines, not in billowing clouds! PROOF that the film was made in the airless void of the moon and NOT in some clandestine film studio on Earth. No moon landing hoax!
