Was the 1969 Moon Landing a hoax?

[SirTezza]

Yup... So that blasts the notion of wind out the window.

This is the most asked question and the most irritating. I think I did answer it previously, for those inept in this subject.

Without drag, gravity or any other force working on the flag, the momentum will make the flag move. Since it is in a vacuum it will take longer to stop waving. That gives the illusion of wind.

They are pushing and twisting the flag poll. Remember there is also a bar along the top to keep the flag upright. Now doing that will make the flag move. Without the above mentioned forces, the momentum has no resistance, taking it longer to settle.

There is no wind. That is ridiculous.

If the 'momentum' (as you put it) has no resistive forces acting on it the flag would continue in motion forever. You know, Newton's first law?

[Josh!]

No it was not. My great grandpa worked at it.

[FlyingJesus]

because theres no gravity or friction in space

Ummm

We did a Neil Armstrong text in English Language, and another thing, on like the 1st lesson we had in English this girl said she had met an astronaut. She said although the moon landings 'may' be real, most of the pictures are fake.
Straight from the horses mouse.

I've met a professional football manager that doesn't mean I now know for certain 100% of football's history
I've met a guy dressed as Mickey Mouse but I don't tell people that everything I say concerning Disney is fact

etc etc lol horses mouse

Reflected sunlight is not considered by people trying to say the landings were fake. Next to the Sun, the largest source of light on the Moon is the lunar surface itself, which reflects large amounts of sunlight. Since the Moon's surface reflects about 10% of the light it receives, each square foot of surface reflected about 340 lumens. This is equivalent to the luminosity of a 35-watt light bulb. This amount of light easily explains the illumination observed in the Apollo photos

Also y'know, the fact that spaceships probably do have lights of some kind I'm not sure why people think the possibility of someone shining a torch at a funny angle means that it must have been done in a studio


If it was faked, there'd be plenty of ways by now to prove it once and for all rather than having a few random questions that have nothing to do with the actual event or can be answered easily if they are

Okay slight error - with LESS resistance. I hope that is clearer for you.

Its true in this day in age if it was done in a studio with all new technology and different ways of editing etc, someone would notice things wrong rather than just an angle something was filmed at
