Why would there be "cratering" under the lander? The thrust was not great (low lunar gravity) and the surface powder was thin. Solid rock underneath. It was like clearing sand off a kitchen counter with a hair dryer. See, you don't think about these things.
The feed from the Moon was live.
The "evidence" is, to use a phrase, "fake and gay." There is no "evidence." There is only ignorance (e.g., above about cratering).
New technology coming down the road (SpaceX). You don't believe we have "lost" the technology for the Saturn V and Apollo capsule? We are building capsules again, if that will make you happy. The F-1 engines are gone forever. There were efforts to reinstate their manufacture and use them again, but there were hundreds of components for which the vendors had gone out of business. The effort to re-qualify new parts and vendors would have been tantamount to doing the development program all over again. Read your history.
I've never seen what you allege. Suspension systems cannot duplicate the behavior of rock dust in a vacuum under low gravity, which is possible only on the Moon.
They ran / walked very fast, so their motion seemed normal speed, when actually they were moving fast and tape slowed down to make it appear like no/ low gravity for other objects, like the dropping hammer etc. That they did.
Look at this 1 min video, you can see 2 things, one is the light reflecting off of the wire holding him at one point. Second, and most importantly, the wire 'jerks' him up when he was on the ground.
Okay. I've looked at it. For one thing, the image is full of static artifacts, and you always have to be on guard not to confuse an artifact for something real.
For another, what you are seeing is evidently a slender, short antenna from the top of the backpack (for telemetry back to the LEM on life support status). >>There is no indication of weight loads depending from it.<< The "wire" does not "jerk" him off the ground; he pushes himself up off the ground. You have to realize that even if he weighs 240 pounds on Earth, he weighs only 40 pounds on the Moon.
You have fooled yourself by imagining things that are not there. You have turned life into a Rorschach blot.

And the AstroNots jumping around on wires like some bloody puppets on a string, yeah that's real. Keeping living in a fairytale, didn't happen.
Now as I said, not saying we never went, but the footage of the 'offical' landings are fake and gay.
