NASA: ASXX-XX-XXXX. ANNOTATIONS ADDED BY UNKNOWN PARTY.

Note E: The enormous thrust from the lunar module's descent engine should have dug a huge hole in the lunar surface.

This argument is covered in depth here.

Note F: The circled feature is an astronaut's footprint under the supposedly immobile lunar module.

I see an indentation, not a footprint. Not all indentations in the lunar surface need be what conspiracists claim they are. Further, the indentation is very near (perhaps even adjacent to) the lunar module's footpad, not directly underneath the descent stage. Looking at the other landing gear in this picture, it's easy to see how a footprint may be made near the footpad without even coming close to the descent stage.

The conspiracist has obviously been fooled by the foreshortening inherent to photography.
