Or, did the flag disintegrate from the sun's intense rays? Or, was it made from something special to keep it from disintegrating?

Nasa has a telescope thats so good it can see a "flickering candle on the moon" so why dont they show a picture of the flag on the moon? maybe its there, maybe its not, or maybe they dont know exactly where they landed.

First, the photos from Mars are taken by orbiting satellites only a couple of hundred miles or so above the surface. Only a few satellites have been placed in orbit around the moon at that altitude, and none of them put there to try and take a picture of the flag. Secondly the features recently identified as possible recent water flows on Mars are considerably larger than the flag.

As far as is known, the flag and all the other stuff left behind by the Apollo astronauts is still in place on the lunar surface.

Those water-like changes may be the results of intermittent rivers that are hundreds or thousands of times larger in linear scale than the flag on the moon.

If the robotic Mars rover happened upon a lunar flag-sized object, it would most definitely be able to resolve the image. However, the possible Mars-water images were taken by satellite many miles above the surface. Just as a satellite may be able to relove the Egyptian pyramids from space, it cannot resolve an individual tourist who is visiting the pyramids.

This just shows your ignorance of the subject and why you and so many others are ready to listen to really bad information that was originally put out just to capture minds like yours.

Firstly there are and have been for 2 years, two robots actually on Mars doing geology.

Secondly, there are thousands of close up pictures from probes in orbit around Mars.

Thirdly the water erosion is huge compared to a tiny flag on the Moon.

Please do some research on the space program. You have the internet at your fingertips, and its all there. Go to real sites like NASA and others and stay away from conspiracy sites until you have educated yourself in reality. Then you will go back and see what a fool you were listening to all that stuff.

They're saying the water marks on mars were made by the equivilant of 5 - 10 olympic sized swimming pools worth of water. That is a lot bigger than a little flag.

Plus, I believe the photos were taken from a spacecraft. I imagine that depending on where the spacecraft is (i.e. closer to the moon than the earth is) you might be able to see the flag on the moon. I believe it IS still there.

The flag on the moon is metal. I doubt it's going to disappear any time soon. The problem is we don't have the resolution to see the flag, but looking at flowing water on a larger scale on Mars doesn't require as much resolution as the flag would.

the ten commandments are taken from the books of Exodus and Deuteronomy. it truly is exciting that the numbering of verses is a fairly present day convention. also, the ten comandments do no longer smartly correspond to a particular verse. as an example, the first commandment does no longer correspond to Exodus 20, verse a million, and the second one commandment does no longer correspond to Exodus 20, verse 2. So, there's slightly of discretion in determining a listing of ten commandments. The Catholic and mainstream Protestants contain Exodus 20:3-6 as being the first Commandment. Exodus 20:4 is the admonition adverse to making graven pictures. even with the undeniable fact that, interior the context of Exodus 20:3, "Thou shalt no longer have the different gods earlier thee," it really is going to grow to be sparkling that believing statues or icons are gods is the placement. for that reason it truly is smart that Exodus 20:3-6 contain the first Commandment, it really is "You shall no longer have any faux gods earlier you." Evangelicals and Fundamentalists use strictly Exodus 20:3 because the first commandment, and Exodus 20:4-6 because the second one commandment. The evangelicals and fundamentalists have surely further a commandment it extremely is already blanketed interior the first and is clearly opposite to the classic Christian practice for 2000 years. maximum highly, it truly is an underhanded attack on the Catholic faith. because that Evangelicals and Fundamentalists further a commandment, they blended the classic 9th and 10th commandments, and decreased it to easily, "Thou shalt no longer covet." The Catholic version of the 9th isn't coveting your neighbor's spouse, it really is in step with Jesus training that whoever seems lustfully at a lady commits adultery. The Catholic version of the 10th commandment isn't coveting your friends products, which addresses greed and envy. of route, I keep on with the Catholic version of the ten Commandments.

The flag on the moon is just a flag that probably floated far,far away, however, water on mars confirms life everlasting. I just hope it does'nt prove to be a disaster for all humanity,here on earth. After all, why would the Romans call Mars, "The GodofWar"

I'm thinking an ocean, or area where an ocean once was, is larger than a flag. Maybe?

The flag is naked to the human eye.
