    This is an official photo from NASA, if you zoom in on the visor of the astronaut what do you see.

    He's not wearing a space suit, so it must be a stage hand.

    Clearly not wearing a space suit and the shadow has been edited.

    Proof of a before / after or a breakdown of methods used to photoshop the shadow?

    But he clearly is wearing a space suit.

    And edited by who? And why? Why edit the show only, but not the image of the person "clearly" not in space suit?

    And what, do you think this photo is faked? Why then have a stage hand? Why leave him in the picture? Why let the photo get out? Why leave it easily findable?

    Do you think we didn't go to the Moon?

    So if you believe this is a "stage hand"..

    Why would they edit the shadow, but not the "stage hand"?

    Why would they edit the shadow wrong?

    It's clearly not a space suit, the edit on the shadow is to gaslight anyone who calls it out.

    It's clearly a space suit though. I don't understand why you think it's not.

    But edited by who and to what end?

    Surely if they just wanted to cover it up, they'd just edit the whole thing, or not release it.

    And again, do you believe that we didn't go to the moon?

    There's nothing clear about it. It's your opinion it's not a spacesuit, not a fact.

    If it really were a "stage hand" why would they leave the "stage hand" in there when editing it?

    It is a spacesuit. You'd have to really stretch your mind to think it wasn't. Look at the boots, dead give away that it is a space suit. Thick and insulated.

    It's just confirmation bias on your part.

    He's not even wearing one of those bulbous helmets obviously the helmet is so massive it would be huge and obvious whereas there's nothing there just a normal head.

    Do you think the person zooming in to edit the shadow wouldn’t have noticed someone not wearing a spacesuit?
    Just a question aside from the point they clearly are wearing a spacesuit.

    But it does have a helmet. The image is just distorted slightly by the curve of the visor.

    Why are you ignoring our questions?

    What do you see I am confused? Are you talking about the other astronaut in the visor?

    You're looking at it through a skewed perspective. The visor is not a mirror. Its reflection will distort the image. It looks very much like someone wearing a spacesuit.

    So how come the shadow isn't distorted like you say, there are clear straight lines on the shadows.

    It's a distorted view let us be real here. It looks like another astronaut to me in proper gear, you can even see their wearing headgear.

    Case closed there nothing odd about this. Any other Moon photos you find strange?

    I have what might be a silly question, if no gravity on the Moon how come when they walk on the surface that's so soft and dusty,that dust is not floating up from the surface. How come a unsecure rock or stone or dust just sits on the surface?

    The moon has a gravitational pull. It's not zero. It's just substantially less than Earth's.

    There is gravity on the moon, it's just about 1/6 the force it is on Earth.

    How are you in a position to decide if the shadow is distorted? Do you know the angle of the source(s) of light? Do you know the light strength, and all the other possible variables, along with the amount the image is skewed by the visor to make such a comment?

    The person in the reflection doesn't appear to be taking the photo though.

    I answered it already. This is clearly a stage setup and the shadow was a poor attempt at a shadow of a space suit, using very old software. There are straight lines in the shadows similar to using a low grade editor like mspaint which back then when it was originally published would have been cutting edge.

    It's so fake it's funny.
