question no one has answered

In official NASA footage of Apollo 17, one astronaut is clearly seen with his visor up, face turned towards the camera, and sun to his left. He then turns directly to face the sun, without putting down his visor. Would this be hazardous on the moon, to face the sun with almost no protection?

RE: question no one has answered

Hi interested onlooker,

I find it a waste of time replying to posts that do not reveal the source of their information. Asking for clarification or details nearly always results in no reply, so I have stopped bothering.

I looked at the video, very interesting thanks. I noticed that Mission Control issued the advice that he should put his visor down which he did.
What's the problem?

Well, since that visor doesn't seem to be absolutely necessary, why have it at all? Or if it was necessary, surely the astronaut could not have been merely careless in forgetting to put it down?

Also weird that Houston says "... out here in the sun..." Doesn't prove anything, but I wonder if there was a reason he said "here" and not "there."

Yeah, your right, that proves it was all a hoax.
