GMAB.

Of course a flag can wave in a vacuum. In the shot of the astronaut and the flag, the astronaut is rotating the pole on which the flag is mounted, trying to get it to stay up. The flag is mounted on one side on the pole, and along the top by another pole that sticks out to the side. In a vacuum or not, when you whip around the vertical pole, the flag will ``wave'', since it is attached at the top. The top will move first, then the cloth will follow along in a wave that moves down. This isn't air that is moving the flag, it's the cloth itself.

Here's a site I pull up once in a blue moon (ha) just for people like you.

So we spend millions, maybe billions to land on the moon. We "do it" (apparently) but yet we don't go back. Bit funny eh?!

Nothing

why spend any money on R&D than, if you don't see something immediate, it must be a waste of money..lol

and yes, I know they did land :up:

as for the endless question of why we don't go back to the moon, maybe NASA is busy exploring other planets

Not to mention the fact that I think anyone who witnessed a rocket launch (I saw one in the 70s, granted it was a satellite... ) can't help but be impressed. So what do these people think happened? Buzz and Armstrong (edit: forgot Collins) just orbited the Earth to "kill some time"?

Oh, that's right. They can't orbit the Earth: It's flat!

Mind you quite a few of the original apollo astronauts died in strange circumstances, how do you figure that one out, The only ones that managed to live where the ones that kept quiet ??

Could their be some truth there??

The answer is simple: Aliens forced the government to kill them in order to shut them up.

It's really the interstellar equivalent of the old mean man next door complaining to a bratty kid's parents to keep him out of their yard.

I like the commercial that was on TV a few years back. It was so true and no words were ever spoken. It simply was a picture of the moon and said this.

Something interesting that I learned recently:

Every dollar in space is used to produce 7 dollars here on earth in the form of new products and services

As for the naysayers, forget about waving flags, odd crosshairs, lack of stars, shadows etc etc*. The race to the moon was born out of the cold war, it was Russia vs America in a game of my toys are bigger than yours. Considering that Russia most definitely had the technology to track the mission, do you not think that they would have immediately cried foul? Unless of course you also believe that the cold war was also a fabrication.



* All of which have been debunked with real science anyway

Did Man Really walk on the Moon??

No.

He hopped.

The photographic evidence is unmistakable and inescapable; they all hopped, rather than walked, on the Moon.
