re: Do you think the moon landings were real?

This is for all the fools who think the landings were fake. Do a little research.


Proof



1.The Waving Flag

According to this argument, frequently cited by the people who think that the moon landings were nothing more but a hoax, is that the star-spangled banner of the United States of America seemed to wave and flutter as Neil Armstrong planted it to the ground. This wouldn’t have been much of an issue except for the fact that there is virtually no atmosphere on the moon, and therefore no wind whatsoever to have such an effect on any flag.

However, if we look closely on the original moon landing footage, we can see that the flag is actually standing still, and not moving in any way during the entire tape. But why is the flag still?

To make the flag stand still on the moon, the flag was actually made from plastic material, similar to the one that tents are usually made of .

For practical reasons, the flag was originally folded to maximize space and stored in a thin tube.

After Neil Armstrong planted it to the surface of the Moon, it briefly appeared to move as it was unfolding itself to its final shape.
