Did America land on the moon in 1969? - [Closes 23/12/07]

[Jamesy]

I watched an interesting documentary on Discovery Channel about this. I think they did to be honest.

also someone please change the American to America it's really annoying me.

I dont think they did! Only due to the flag in flapping, despite the moon doesnt have wind!

Just in case nobody had already said.

Whoever wrote this obviously hasn't thought about what they said, because the flag had a pole through the top to keep it up in no atmosphere and the impact of it hitting the surface of the moon would shake it even if there is no atmosphere.

Not saying I believe they did land just saying you should check your facts and not rely on channel 4's "Facts"

ahhh i love how the old 'the flag is moving from the wind!!!!!' debate is always chucked in.

No, did you? I'm not talking about astronomy, I'm talking about common sense.



Even if there weren't flames such as we have in atmosphere, there would be massive amounts of heat, which would easily burn up a small feather. There's a reason that you have to a certain distance from a spacecraft when it takes off - it gets pretty hot, and you will be destroyed in the heat. You don't need actual flames to burn things. Further, comparitive size has nothing to do with it as the moon is still absolutely massive. It's not like you can drive around the whole thing in a couple of hours or something.



So, going by your earlier logic: shut up.



You just fail life.

I believe its fake after reading all this

[drama]

Nobody can prove it's fake, therefore it's true

You cant prove it's not a fake, therefore it is?

Yeah we can, can't fake 300kg of moonrocks, can't fake the footage that they took (you may say, yeah you can in a movie studio! But no, not in the movie studios of the late 60s can you find some fan that will only move the flag and not all the dust surrounding the astronauts).

I believe its fake after reading all this

You only read about half the thread and skipped most posts made by FlyingJesus, Kardan and myself?

If that's true then you're not very intelligent.
