I think I saw the reflection of Stanley Kubrick in his helmet visor...

I see they were following tire tracks for most of the vid, veering off them later on. Were the astronauts instructed to use same route as a previous excursion because it would be safer to do so? I imagine when moon landings detractors saw those tracks it confirmed their suspicions the whole thing was fake…..do you know if that was the case?

I think that those were their own tire tracks. The video begins when they were at the farthest point in their excursion and beginning their return to the lander. They were following the same path they took out to ensure that they didn't become lost, but discussed taking a more direct shortcut.
