Demonstration that lunar soil deforms and cracks in the same manner as homogeneous isotropic terrestrial soil s of moderate bulk density with a small amount of cohesion. This conclusion is made from an analysis of Surveyor 3 TV pictures and of Apollo 11 closeup picture of lunar surface disturbances by bearing tests and instrument pressure.
