How much actual moon footage have these folks seen? Not much. A minute? Less?

How much spacecraft and space station footage have people seen? I’d guess several times that and furthermore it would be more recent.

People’s experience non-earth environment video is dominated by zero-G.

And when have we seen a pen in space? I can only think of people playing with objects in the zero gravity of a space station.

The philosophers think the author is nuts because they have seen that pen float away in the space station footage. It takes a fair bit of effort to overcome that experience, even for philosophers. To get the message through they’d have to watch some moon footage and pay attention to the descending dust and dropped objects etc.

The heavy boots line is hilarious, but they have to do something to justify their experience with the space station video.
