Fake!

[theapollomoonlanding]

@rog944 Why do you say it's fake?

[dopje31857]

Like it or not, in 1969 the first men walked on the moon. No hoax, no conspiracy. Just science, damn good engineering and a lot of courage brought them to it.

i totally agree with engine22emt. i watched every liftoff and landing. these men were true american heroes.

I can't believe many pepole still are into this wild conspiracy. I has been refuted so many times already.

@KIBProductionz

The pole that held the flag out would have a dampening effect, as well as the flag material itself providing resistance to motion and eventually making it stop.

[KIBProductionz]

@prosperomage oh ok.

[prosperomage]

@KIBProductionz -- No pendulum is completely without friction at the hinge point at the top. Even in a vacuum with no air resistance, the small resistance at the top of the pole would stop the flag from swinging after a few minutes.

@theapollomoonlanding -- Oh my god, even with one chute collapsed and with a bit harder landing, I'll bet that impact the water was a good feeling after spending more than a week in the middle of space with nothing but an infinity of vacuum around.

I remember seeing this.One parachute collapsed,but could land on two chutes.I don't think they could have made it on one.It would hit the ocean too hard.

All the moonlanding hoaxers theories were debunked on an episode of the tv show "mythbusters". They waved a flag in a vaccuum chamber and it kept waving longer than in an air filled environment. The footprints were proved to be true in moondust with the same boots used on the moon. Funny the conspiracy theorists never addressed any of this...because their theories were debunked. We went to the moon and that's a fact.

@gardenchair lol... kid

@bibbler227I'm educated and still learning.I watched a documentary, it seems that the inertia of the astronaut's motion to the pole, also moved the flag. It was also proven that there was no wind and atmosphere on the moon. However, some of my schoolmates, thought that IF there was no wind on the moon, what 'friction' or 'force' stopped the flag from waving? Sir, is my answer correct?: the flag stopped moving because of the absorption of vibrations in the ground, where the pole was placed.

@KIBProductionz You really need to get an education and quit believing nonsense by every kook an the internet. Most of the "researchers" you hear this nonsense from are kooks, kids, and dropouts.

The flag is moving because it was meant to look that way. It was suspended by a vertical pole on the top was swinging on that pole as the astronaut moved it. An atmosphere is not necessary...

Please educate yourself.
