Okay.

“However, I have a suspicious attitude to this video, and I can see why moon hoaxers say what they do. For example, in this film, it is funny that right where Neil is stepping down is in dark shadow, and the sand beyond is glared out. You cannot see the lunar regolith clearly like the comments of Neil about its texture and sticking props.”

Well, er, you can for the first two and a half minutes. Then Aldrin opens the aperture on the camera so that Armstrong becomes more clearly visible in the shadow.

And why is it funny that Armstrong is stepping down in shadow? That’s how it was designed – the LM landed with the Sun behind it, and the ladder and the windows were on the same side of the LM. That meant that the astronauts would step onto the Moon in shade.

In any case, it’s not as though that camera provides the only evidence of the texture of the Moon’s surface. There were plenty of photos taken, as well as TV footage.

“The rope seems to be accelerating at earth gravity.”

I suspect that’s only because it was being pulled taut.

“I am leaning toward thinking the moon hoaxers are off-base, but this kind of stuff makes me wonder.”

Fortunately that film isn’t the only evidence you need to rely on. You can look at the TV footage, particularly the colour footage from later missions. You can look at the science results. You can look at the telemetry records. You can talk to the astronauts themselves, as well as to the thousands of people involved on the ground. I’ve spoken to a number of people who worked at the Honeysuckle Creek Tracking Station during Apollo; they have no doubt that they were working on something real.
