All the US flags and other Apollo moon equipment, the bottom lunar module landing engines, commemorative Apollo mission plaques, lunar rovers and a few cameras that to this day are still sending moon surface pictures to NASA are all on the Moon. These items will remain there for thousands of years, pretty much undisturbed.....or until we go back and revisit the Moon, whichever comes first.
The latter is an excellent idea for NASA to consider, seeing's the Moon makes the best training / proving ground if any safe, successful manned Mars mission is to take place.

Yes, all the original equipment from all 6 moon landings is still on the Moon.
And to Nunoyvgvna Awi, the video is completely false. You do realize that those interviews were cut and edited to make it sound like they were talking about the Moon landings. Notice that none of them ever say the words Moon, fake, or anything. They use extremely vague wording. And it is more than obvious that they are actually talking about the Watergate scandal. The video is using very slippery, and extremely persuasive editing techniques to bend people's words to make it sound like they are supporting the idea of a fake Moon landing.
And yes, the Stanley Kubrick thing is true (not the part about faking). 2001 was meant to be a booster for the space program. The US government saw it as a way to really sensationalize the Moon landings, NOT fake them. Do not believe everything you see... especially when it comes to foreign videos (ARTE France?) Please, many groups of foreign cultures, and even people within the US try to make the government look bad. It is extremely apparent that the only reason that Rumsfeld and Kissinger said those things is because they were asked about Watergate... not the Moon landings. Geez, the gullibility of some people.

Yes. It is not one flag though because there were 6 landings and flags were put up at all 6 landing sites. In addition to the flags, each of the 6 landing sites has the decent stage of the Lunar Module (the biggest thing left there), the space suit back packs, the lunar surface experiment packages, including the laser reflectors which are still observed today with telescopes from the ground, and at the Apollo 15, 16 and 17 sites a lunar rover (moon car). There is also a lot of miscellaneous trash.

Yes - after all, when would they have retrieved it? The various missions all went to different spots on the moon, and while it's not as big as the earth, it's not small enough to take a stroll and visit the other landing sites.

yes. It was never removed and there is nothing on the moon that would have caused it to go away (like weather or air)

no as the movie set in the UK that was used has now been dismantled.
there are many videos on google and you tube backing this all up. and this is the best one....as the master mind behind it all, Donald Rumsfeld even admits it was all faked.
