Of course the moon landings were faked. The moon isn't really there either, it's a giant projection onto the black curtain of night that is dragged across the sky. I mean, duh, if there is no moon, there is no way anyone could have gone to it.

Um yeah that was all sarcasm. Both the moon and the moon landings are true and real. I have walked in places here on earth where sand is the consistency of baby powder. Even a very soft well placed footfall puffs up lots of dust. But, here on earth the dust floats around in a little cloud. It never does on the moon since there is no air for the dusty particles to float in. And, the seismic energy created by the astronauts bouncing around--it was easier to bounce a bit than walk in the lower gravity---was transferred through the ground into the pole and into the wire through the top of the flag and into the flag making it shake a little as if a breeze picked up.
But, if you truly believe all the idiotic conspiracy theorists that say it was all a hoax, please please e-mail me. I want you to believe I and a realtor and have some awesome waterfront property for sale in south FL you will surely beinterested in. Great view, great weather.

No it is real, people have walked on the moon.

1) Once again, the weird alien environment of the Moon comes to play. Imagine taking a bag of flour and dumping it onto your kitchen floor (kids: ask your folks first!). Now bend over the pile, take a deep breath, and blow into it as hard as you can. Poof! Flour goes everywhere. Why? Because the momentum of your breath goes into the flour, which makes it move. But note that the flour goes up, and sideways, and aloft into the air. If you blow hard enough, you might see little curlicues of air lifting the flour farther than your breath alone could have, and doing so to dust well outside of where your breath actually blew.

That's the heart of this problem. We are used to air helping us blow things around. The air itself is displaced by your breath, which pushed on more air, and so on. On the Earth, your breath might blow flour that was dozens of centimeters away, even though your actual breath didn't reach that far. On the Moon, there is no air. The only dust that gets blown around by the exhaust of the rocket (which, remember, isn't nearly as strong as the HBs claim) is the dust physically touched by the exhaust, or dust hit by other bits of flying dust. In the end, only the dust directly under or a bit around the rocket was blown out by the exhaust. The rest was left where it was. Ironically, the dust around the landing site was probably a bit thicker than before, since the dust blown out would have piled up there.

I can't resist: another Hoax Believer argument bites the dust.

2)Of course a flag can wave in a vacuum. In the shot of the astronaut and the flag, the astronaut is rotating the pole on which the flag is mounted, trying to get it to stay up. The flag is mounted on one side on the pole, and along the top by another pole that sticks out to the side. In a vacuum or not, when you whip around the vertical pole, the flag will ``wave'', since it is attached at the top. The top will move first, then the cloth will follow along in a wave that moves down. This isn't air that is moving the flag, it's the cloth itself.

The answer is, it isn't waving. It looks like that because of the way the flag was deployed. The flag hangs from a horizontal rod which telescopes out from the vertical one. In Apollo 11, they couldn't get the rod to extend completely, so the flag didn't get stretched fully. It has a ripple in it, like a curtain that is not fully closed. In later flights, the astronauts didn't fully deploy it on purpose because they liked the way it looked. In other words, the flag looks like it is waving because the astronauts wanted it to look that way. Ironically, they did their job too well. It appears to have fooled a lot of people into thinking it waved.

One more thing. Several readers have pointed out that if the flag is blowing in a breeze, why don't we see dust blowing around too?

They had to prop up the flag stiff with wire since there is no air and it would just be hanging.

When you're smart enough to send a man to the moon you think of such things.

Let's see... how many decades have I heard the same old conspiracy theories. Wait until you're 12 and there will be many more.

You should not believe rumors. There are numerous documents, films and photographs that say we did land on the Moon. There are millions of people alive now, including me, who saw the live TV coverage. There are a number of Apollo astronauts alive today (especially Buzz Aldrin who, unlike his fellow Apollo 11 crew mate Niel Armstrong, is very active in promoting space activity even today) who did walk on the Moon and will tell you all about it.

Hi,

Well I suggest you go to google video and search for just that. You find videos explaining that in detail... a lot of detail. Some videos are an hour long.

They say it is fake, or what was seen on T.V is fake. If they really went it was secret. Probably not.
