@founderafrica3844 First of all, pressure is divided by area. The wider area you exert force on, the less of an impact you make and yes, this means that a heavier object can leave less of an impact than a lighter one. This is how snowshoes work. Keep in mind that gas rapidly expands in a vacuum and you have to turn your thrust way, way down otherwise your ship goes UP.
Second, you do realize that the ground can have a thin layer of loose dust on a hardened or compacted surface underneath, right? If I spill a bag of flour on my kitchen floor, I will most definitely be able to make footprints in it, but I will not be able to blow a hole in the tile underneath. If the loose dust is only about half an inch or so deep, how deep of a crater are you expecting?
Oh, it should be there because Bill Kaysing said so.
Third, if you look closely at some of the pictures, you can see rings of lines radiating out from under the engine bell, which would be consistent with wind-based erosion emanating from a central point.
Fourth, did you know that both Armstrong and Aldrin call out the lack of a crater live among their observations of the lunar surface? That's right, you didn't cathc them. NASA outed themselves! That's very strange if it was faked, because if you know that it's there, normally you'd either fix your problem or ignore it, not have your actors deliberately bring attention to it.
Also, minor gripe. Jet is a specific type of engine. It is not a synonym for "powerful".
Now, VTOL aircraft have jet engines with about 3x the maximum thrust of the lander, and as far as I'm aware, they normally don't create massive craters either.
