Yes, sorry, the 'engine roar' is nonsense, I didn't realise the guy had added that at the end. I was pointing to the section at the beginning in which they are talking about 'it' getting low and 'did you get the fuel yet' then the camera focuses on what looks very much like a jerry can and they call it a 'football-sized rock'. Then one of them picks it up by the handle and hurls it away. It just looks look they are taking the piss.
I think the guy has edited the NASA sound to suit his own purposes throughout the whole thing, because the NASA transcript matches the part where Cernan throws the object, but the words spoken by the astronauts on the clip aren't the same single flowing piece in the transcript. I haven't been able to locate the "fuel can" part in the transcript - it's definately seperate from the "Are you through with this (gravimeter)?" part, even though youtube guy makes us think we're listening to unadulterated footage.
Should we be inclined to trust the arguments of people who present their side of the case in this kind of deceptive manner?
