Re: Apollo 14 landing movie

Great clip, Raoul! But I'm puzzled - at touchdown the dust continues to fly as if the engine is still firing, and . there was no apparent motion that indicated engine stop followed by a three-foot drop to the surface. On other landings the engine shut down when the contact light came on at a true altitude of three feet. Did Shepard keep the engine running past that point?
