I am in doubt as to whether it is on the dark side or not. It would be valid proof that they actually landed and disprove conspiracy theories. Had I been the first to land on the moon I would have plonked the flag where everybody could see it! So are the conspirators right after all??

Why can't we see the flag on the moon?  \nA.    Lets assume that: \nThe height of the flag (a) pole in ft. = 6 \nThe average distance to the Moon (approx) in miles = 221,000 \nWhich means that the distance to the Moon (approx) in feet (b) = 1,166,880,000 \nB.    Given the above: \nThe tangent (t) of the above in radians [tan(a/b)] = 0.0000000051, in radians \nConverted to Degrees [180*(t/pi)] = 0.000000295 degrees \nThis means that a telescope would have to be able to resolve an angle of 2.95 x 10-07 degrees to see the flag left on the moon.\nC.    That means:\nSince one Arc Degree (1/360 of a circle) = 1.000000000 Deg. \nAnd one Arc Minute (1/60 of a degree) = 0.016666667 Deg. \nAnd one Arc Second (1/60 of an arc-minute) = 0.000277778 Deg. \nWe can calculate that:  \nThe Angle to be resolved is: 0.000000295 Deg. \nAnd the Angle to be resolved in Arc Seconds is: 0.001060596 \n\nSo, to see the flag, a telescope must be able to resolve an angle less than an 1/1000th of an arc second.\n\n"So how big of a telescope would that require?", you ask.\nThe Dawes limit calculates how close two objects can be and still be resolved by a telescope. \nThe formula is:  Resolution (in arc seconds) = 4.56/Diameter. \nSo, to determine the required diameter, the formula is:  D = 4.56/Resolution(arc seconds) \n\nDoing the math, that is 4.56/.001060596 arc seconds, to see the flag a telescope would require a mirror 4,299.47 inches wide! That is 358.29 Feet!\nA super-telescope THAT big would have to be in orbit, to eliminate the turbulence of the earth's atmosphere.

i do not agree with you becasue in Scotland they had set up a satalite to examine the process. Also if it were a hoax then the amount of people employed say 10,000 would have to keep a goo secret which is unlikely. Also if it were a hoax how come Russia didnt say anything if it were? The movement of the flag is basically sice there is nothing to take the energy away when and astranaught twisted it in, it just simply contined to spin

This is one of those nutty conspiracy theories.  The satellite photo was takeng the day after the attacks.  It doesn't show much of anything that you can distiguish in any detail.  For all we know, they could have hauled debris away that might have hampered rescue efforts.  Who knows how much of the debris might be in the building?\n\nThe second photo was taken 3 days after the attacks.  Again, debris could have been removed to safety reaons, etc. And it isn't a vgood picture.  Debris could be in areas not shown on the photo like the courtyard area.\n\nThen of course there is the security tape showing the crash.  There is nothing new here, this is just someone who has too much time on their hands.\n\nAdded:\n\nYour question was "try this out and comment".  You posted a link to inconclusive photos that could be interpreted any number of ways.  You try to point to some vague conspiracy and a cover up with no supporting evidence.  How do you think people are supposed to react?  You ask where the wreckage is and I provide a number of plausible explanations that you chose not to ignore and not to analyze.

All the world governments conspired to cover up the fact that the moon landings did not happen because they needed to develop the necessary rocket technology for war. Holland teaches their children in school that it did not happen. They were in the position to know. Do your own research on that one.\nLook a the book called 'Full Moon' by Michael Light, June 1999. There are six pages in the center of the book that contain 'rectangular suns'. All of the pictures that were ever in dispute are in the book. Use your common sense and look for your self. \nLook at the capsule, if there were parachutes at one end and a heat shield at the other, how did they transfer to the lunar lander?\nThey flew all the way to the moon with two seventy-seven pound computers that only had 48k memory each, uh huh, I've got a bridge to sell you.\nAnybody that has knowledge of thermal dynamics can tell you that the cooling systems that the astro-nots wore would not dissipate enough heat to keep them cool. NASA insists that they were water cooled units, guess what it takes an atmosphere for evaporation to take place. Next what about the lack of a blast zone on the moon by the lander that supposedly created 10,000 pounds of thrust.\nIf they actually did it 35 years ago why will it take them until 2018 to do it again?\nI've been studying this for years and I could go on for hours. Lastly I'll leave you with this thought, why did Walter Cronkite always end the show about a mission with these words? "Brought to you through the magic of Hollywood"\nIt couldn't have happened and it didn't, nothing to get your shorts in a bunch over. \nBut thank you for keeping an open mind, name calling is never nice and too many will call you unpatriotic or stupid or other less desirable names. Don't let yourself be bullied by politics.\nKeep the faith and keep asking the hard questions.\nYours truly,\nMycroft

Sounds to be a good a theory as any other...to say no..would mean closing doors to limitless possibilities..\nI do find it strange that suddenly the United States and China both want to go to the dark side of the moon..They never wanted to before..Is there a connection there too?...ya just never know..\nPerhaps ..very soon we ALL we learn the truth about life and the universe..Just don't expect to hear it from the government.

Can your father authenticate the purchase?  I would be very surprised if any astronaut would smuggle back rocks, or deal on the black market.  These people live for their careers - they would never jeopardise that for a few bucks.  I once saw the moon rock display at Houston and believe me it was more secure than Fort Knox.  I don't think any astronaut would have the opportunity to smuggle bulky stuff like that, even if they wanted to, which I don't believe they did.

Lemme see, the thousands of technicians, military personnel and site seers on top of casinoes in Vegas only witnessed cloud plumes blown by giant exhausts.\n\nAmerica did not land on the Moon. We payed billions of dollars for the 360 foot Saturn 5 rocket so we could look at it and say wow that is a big rocket. We kept approx. 400,000 technicians, scientists and construction contractors quiet, with zero leaks to the public. The rocks that we thought that came from moon and have proved to be from the moon are really from the Pacific Ocean. \n\nOther Conspiracies to think about: \n\n1. The Jews did not suffer in Germany because there was no Holocaust. Actually it was the Jews that was torturing the poor blond haired deprived Germans. Those tattoos on the Jews arms and hands that are still alive today (by the grace of God) are really there because they want to be hip. \n\n2. We knew the Japanese were going to bomb Pearl Harbor before they did. I mean come-on President Roosevelt liked the thought of our boys baking inside the Battle Ship Arizona before they died. The President was looking for a better way to get a good nights sleep. \n\n3. The Mafia whacked JFK, via the Russian connection, via the Cuban connection.  The man on the grassy knoll was a CIA agent acting on orders from Giancana from Chicago and Marcello from New Orleans, all with communications with Kruschev.\n\n4. Aliens landed in Roswell and we transported them to Area 51 to back engineer their technology, where do you think the stealth air craft came from? Again, we kept it secret by brain washing the thousands of workers who were in on the scam. \n\n5. The Moon we see every night is really not there along with the planets and stars as well the Planet Killing Asteroids. Those were put there by the evil United States to toy with our minds. \n\n6. Fossils of early homosapiens, homoerectus and earlier models were put their by evil paleontologists, athropoligists, and assorted rock hounds looking to enhance their careers, Creation is the real objective reality. \n\n7. America is a conspiracy and is a fake country and none of us Americans really live here. \n\n8. I was never born so this response to your question is a fake.

Yes, some people say that, and some people are retarded. They don't do that because A) Why even warrant such stupid accusations with a response or action? B) These people claim it was all staged in a studio and they would just say the same thing about any footage of the flag on the moon.

Based on the information out there, I now believe that they never went  to the moon. There is no wind on the moon, yet the flag blows in the background. The angles of lighting do not match the way they are supposed to, unless lighting was set up...and an extensive amount. The temperatre that the films would have been subjected to, would have destroyed the pictures. And for the picture of the footprint on the moon, there would have had to have been moisture to create such a mark. If you take completey dry sand and try to make a castle out of it, what happens? It crumbles...any child who has been to the beach knows that you need a little water. so, anyone can believe what they want, but im going on facts :)\n\nps...dont mind my spelling

How about the great moon hoax? United States of America faked all the landings on the moon in the late 60's and early 70's to scare the Russians from messing with us. \n\nOr the one where the US government has crashed two planes into the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon, and faked a crash landing in PA?
130577
The most famous "fact" is the footage of the flag fluttering while its being placed on the moon surface. Since there is no air on the moon, there can't be any wind, so how did the flag flutter? Another one is that there is some sort of radiation belt between the Earth and the moon, and humans would not be able to pass through this belt without suffering serious damage. Besides, NASA had a LOT of money in the Apollo project. If it was faked, it was the greatest special effects ever created.

First off... if they really did land on the moon... how in the world and why in the world would they lose the original footage of the moon landing. Wouldn't that footage have been a coveted prize from our early space exploration???  Of course it would have... NASA losing that footage so that it can no longer be tested or viewed should be a big hint for those who still believe the moon landing to be true.  The footage of Neil Armstrong's historic moment is one of the most important artifacts of the 20th century.  Therefore, who would benefit from losing the footage???  and more importantly, what would they gain??? \n\nSecond, consider the fact that they could not land back onto Earth after they returned from the lunar mission... however, they expect us to believe that they could land on the moon and then take back off from the moon... BUT... they would then have to land in the ocean when they returned. If we didn't have the technology to LAND back on Earth... how in world could we have done everything else that they stated they did. Sadly, our technology was definitely in its infancy stage in 1969 and hasn't even progressed enough at this time to undertake a lunar mission.  Notice how NASA is hoping for a lunar mission by 2018... why the long wait?  I personally think that they are being forced to wait since "the average Joe" now has the technology and capabilities to view and evaluate the whole mission from start to finish... and therefore, they can't fake anything.

Of course they went. In 1969 it would have been harder to fake then actually have gone.\nI'm sick of that flag waving on the moon rubbish it did not and never waved in the wind there is no atmosphere on the moon so how can there be wind,numbnuts.\nGo back to your sheep taffy.

of course what you have seen is real and dont let any one to tell you otherwise.however there is debate among ufologist and et socities that black triangular ships are us secret military ships.this technology was given to them by a race of aliens called greys,however new evidence is suggesting this technology along with the design for stealth bomber(F117) was given to them by a race is called annunakies,i was lucky enough to see pleadian scout ship on two different ocasions.i can provide you with some clear pictures of ufo,and few race of ets who are well known to our open minded scientist.as far as NASA,they are fully aware of them and if you wish provide me with an email address so i can send you a few picture along with nasa footage of ufos from international space stations.a lot of scientists in nasa are fully aware of this.but information in this regard is being suppresed by big guys,if you are interested buy an ordinary telescope and spend a few nights watching moon.im sure you will see with your own eyes more than enough evidence of their existance,do a little bit of reaserch about et bases on the moon.keep wondering,you are in a right direction,may peace and love be upon you and your family

OF COURSE THE SEPTEMBER 11 INCIDENTS WHERE ACTUALLY FAKE JUST LIKE THE MOON LANDING . AMERICA AGAIN FOOLED THE WORLD.\n\nTHERE IS EVEN A VIDEO ABOUT THIS .\n\nTHE MAIN REASONS THAT THEY SAY ARE AS FOLLOWS\n\n1.THE AIRCRAFTS THAT STRIKED THE WTC TOWERS WERE NOT HAVING ANY WINDOWS WHICH CLEARLY SHOWED THAT THEY ARE NOT PASSENGER AIRCRAFTS . PROBABLY MILITARY CARGOS .\n\n2. WHEN THE VIDEO IS ZOOMED IN WE CAN CLEARLY SEE SOME THING THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE BELLY OF THE AIRCRAFT .NO PASSENGER AIRCRAFT WILL HAVE SOME THING THIS ATTACHED TO ITS FUSELAGE .WHICH CLEARLY SHOWS THAT IT IS NOT A PASSENGER AIRCRAFT .\n\n3. THERE IS AN SMALL EXPLOSION ON BOTH THE AIRCRAFTS JUST BEFORE STRIKING INSIDE THE WTC TOWER . THIS CAN BE CLEARY SEEN IF THE VIDEOS ARE ZOOMED . \n\n4.IN THE VIDEO THAT SHOWS THE PENTAGON ATTACK THERE IS NO AIRCRAFT AT ALL SHOWN IN THE VIDEO .ONLY A SUDDEN EXPLOSION IS SHOWN .ALSO THERE IS NOT EVEN A SINGLE PIECE OF AIRCRAFT WRECKAGE ON THE SITE EVEN IN THE VIDEOS THAT WERE TAKEN IMMEDIATLY AFTER THE INCIDENT .\n\n5.ALSO A STUDY HAS CONFIRMED THAT IF A BOEING 757 WITH THE SAID AMOUNT OF FUEL CRASHED INTO THE PENTAGON THE DAMAGE WOULD BE VERY MUCH MORE THAN THIS . ANALYSISTS HAVE CALCULATED THE IMPACT STRENGTH AND THE CAPABILITY OF THE MATERIALS WITH WHICH PENTAGON IS CONSTRUCTED .\n\nAMAERICA JUST WANTED A REASON TO ATTACK TALIBAN .\n\nOTHERWISE JUST IMAGINE , IF THE TALIBAN HAD BEEN ACTUALLY BEHIND THIS THEN THEY WOULD HAVE SURELY CLAIMED THE RESPONSIBILITY .\n\nGEORGE.W.BUSH IS A TRAITOR . HE EVEN FOOLED THE AMERICANS ALSO . JUST LIKE NASA FOOLED THE AMERICANS AND REST OF THE WORLD BY SAYING THAT THEY LANDED ON THE MOON AND SHOWED MANY FAKE VIDEOS .\n\nAMERICANS WILL HAVE REMEMBER ONE THING -- WHATEVER YOU DO -- SOME IS WATCHING IT FROM ABOVE -- GOD .YOU WILL BE PUNISHED .

Yes it is  well documented that we did.\nIt really would have been impossible to fake. and even more impossible to conceal a hoax of that magnitude for this long.\n\nThere is a vast deal of technology that came from the space  program .\nThe Apollo spacecraft was seen during its trans-Lunar coast by observers on Earth. Amateur astronomers were able to sight the spacecraft, exactly where they should have been, during the trans-Lunar coast and amateur radio operators were able to listen-in on the command module in Lunar orbit. The explosion of Apollo 13 was caught on video tape by an amateur astronomer. Russia and radio telescope observatories not owned or controlled by the USA also tracked the Apollo spacecrafts and transmissions.

There are a relatively small number of people that believe that the NASA moon landings were faked.  They do have quite a number of points that support their arguments.  Of course, all of these points have been responded to and all of their points have been debunked.\n\nThere will always be people who believe in vast conspiracies that require the combined silence of hundreds (or at least dozens) of people.  These same people often contend that the government is run by a bunch of idiots who couldn't find their rear ends with both hands and a map.  It can't be both.  Either the government is a group of super-secret geniuses or a bunch of bureaucrats who can't do most things properly or efficiently.  I believe it is the later.\n\nThere is no conspiracy except by the companies who lobby Congress to get money for their projects.
