Originally posted by shavixmirWhen the astronauts planted the flag, they imparted energy into it, causing trembling of the post, waving of the flag etc. The top of the flag is supported by a stiff rod and there's no atmosphere to stop the waving.
Is there wind on the moon?
If not, how come the flag's waving?

Just wondered if their are any moon landing hoaxers lurking amongst us. If so, speak your piece, show your evidence.
also, i read someone that the computer systems used to get them to the moon is now equal in memory to a chip that goes into a microwave... as far as i know, my microwave oven doesnt have the logic to get to the moon, or maybe if i put some rocket thrusters on the back things would be different

If the moon landings were real...
How come the astronauts were forced to sign an agreement to stick to National and NASA guidelines and "about what they can and cannot reveal about their missions"?

It seems to me that some of the "proof" is just as dodgy as some of the accusations.
But yeah, I'm just stirring the pot on this one.
Originally posted by shavixmirThe answer to your question is probably along the lines of 'military secrets' - things that were learnt that could be of value militarily.

Originally posted by shavixmirI'm guessing it was due to the fact that we were in the middle of the Cold War and there was a massive space race between the USSR and the US
