Debunked: Un-Debunkable Moon Hoax Proof - Moon Atmosphere

Mythbusters Uncut: Lunar Lunacy

Kari tries to replicate the NASA footage of a feather and a hammer dropping -- and landing -- at the same time.

Conspiracy theorists believe that the movement of the flag on the Moon was due to air blowing against it, implying that the footage was not taken on the Moon, as it does not have an atmosphere. This however, is not correct, as shown on Mythbusters. The movement is due mainly to the kinetic and potential energy imposed upon the flag through handling by the astronauts.

This video shows that there could not have been any air where the Apollo missions were filmed, by conducting the Hammer and Feather experiment, using a simulated vacuum.

And thus, the footage could have only been taken on the Moon, where there is no air. It could not have been filmed on the Earth, as that would require an impossibly large vacuum chamber. And this would at the same time negate any possibility of air being present to move the flag.

Falcon feathers though they drop faster than chicken feathers do not drop like a rock. You are a total idiot.

@tvsinesperanto Your political and demographic lieracy seems to reflects the values of your nations scientific literacy. You are ingnoring all factors in these statistics and taking them for face value. Do you even care where these statistics come from, how the came to these conclusion or the differences in the nations they take these statistics from.

"No wonder so many of these moon landing conspiracy threories originate in the U.S." Where did you get that stat? lol

[tvsinesperanto]

@timrocket2008 Seriously, the lack of scientific literacy amongst the general public is truly frightening.

I heard today that the US education system ranks 21st in Science (& 25th in Maths). Considering I'm in Australia, which ranks 4th, & the level of scientific awareness even here is atrocious, I hate to think what it must be like in the US.

It's no wonder that so many of these moon landing conspiracy theories originate in the US.

@timrocket2008

"television stars"

what has oprah has to do with it

[timrocket2008]

@StraydogO2 You mean the television stars. But look how easy it is to fool people like you. Simple minded fools make up 80% of the population in the USA and similar percentages in all countries.
