My daughter had to write a paper on this for history this year. The arguments against are extensive.....

what about the flag fluttering in the 'wind' there is no wind on the moon

Found this
This picture and other filmed footage of the American flag on the moon seems to show it fluttering. How is this possible if there's no atmosphere or wind on the moon?

This is one of the most common questions about the Apollo landings and is often used as evidence of a hoax. Fortunately there is nothing peculiar about what we can see here at all. Not if we remember this is happening on the moon.

Firstly the flag had a horizontal bar attached to it at the top. This was done so that the flag would stand out from the flagpole. NASA appreciated that there would be no wind on the moon, so any normal flag would just hang limply and unattractively down the pole. To make things look better they added a bar that stood out at 90 degrees from the pole. The flag was really hanging from this, rather than from the pole. The bar was also not quite the full width of the flag, so that it was slightly furled to give a 'wave look' to it.

The moon's surface, once you get past the thin layer of dust, is very hard. So getting the flagpole to stick in was a tough job. The footage shows the astronaut twisting the pole back and forth in order to try and get it further into the ground. This movement made the attached bar and flag flutter.

The flagpole itself was light aluminium that is quite springy. Even once the astronaut let go the pole would continue to vibrate. This in turn would shake the bar and flap the flag. Without any air to dampen this it would continue to do so for longer than you might expect.

Maybe The cameras that were used on the moon where Hassleblad 500's according to some could not operate at extreme temp changes which would cause chemical changes in the film emulsion, remember it was not digital then Mechanical parts would constrict and expand in the temp changes and lens would loosen in extreme heat and film shatters like glass in extreme cold. Non of the photos taken on the moon show any evidence of a flash being used, you would have seen a flash because the astronaught taking the photo would have been reflected in the visor.

Also a flash would not have been needed due to there being three light sources.

I remember it all happening at the time, I didn't believe it then and I don't believe it now. Has it really helped us here on earth? Think about all that money used to supposedly let man walk on the moon, it should have been used to help man on earth.

Do you know they acutally filmed a faked moon landing and those first steps, in case anything went wrong. It was filmed in Boreham wood in UK.

No - you are confusing that with Big Brother.
Its 'Borehamwood' - actually 15 mins from my house.

Your link is a spoof.

how do any of us know what happens on the moon in terms of atmosphere etc as none of us have been there?? so whether there are stars, no wind etc etc - how can it be proven?

I believe they did land on the moon, for the mere purpose of why bother faking it ???

im watching that moon landing fake documentary on youtube now.

im wetting myself, its soooo taking the piss.

"we needed hollywood to make it entertaining as people would find launching a rocket to the moon dull"
