I'm tired of persuading people that we went to the moon, so I'm not, believe what you want.

Consider this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_moon_landing_hoax_accusations and decide for yourself.

In reference to your flag waving: moon has no atmosphere, hence no air friction. When the flag was planted pulling on the pole made its move to and fro (oscillate), like when a ball hits a goalpost. Due to the lack of air friction, the flag took longer to stop than normal.

If I see this flag problem come up one more time I am going to go spare. Seriously, THINK about it for a moment. A flag in a vacuum will not wave. It won't do anything except hang limply down the pole. Does that look good? Does it make for good PR? No. Knowing this, the guys at NASA sewed a rod along the top to hold it out so it could be seen. This is clear even in some of the still pictures. People look at these and think they can tell the flag is waving because it has wrinkles in. Well it's been screwed up in a tiny package for weeks, of course it has creases in! Look at sequences of photos and you see those creases are the same in every picture. The flag isn't waving, it is held out by a rod and wrinkled from being stored folded up.

What is clear from the video is that the flag only moves when an astronaut waves it around during the planting ceremony, or when being blasted by exhaust from the liftoff at the end of the stay on the surface. The rest of the time it is totally static, and that is simply IMPOSSIBLE in anything but a vacuum.

I just watched a very interesting programme on British TV last night about the new space race to get back to the moon first. Countries like China, Russia, USA and Japan are spending billions to achieve this. The reason is the moon rock containing a large quanity of a substance called helium3 which can be used in nuclear fusion to provide masses amounts of power - thus solving pretty much all of the earth's energy problems. Now the only reason they know the moon rock has this chemical within it is because they have brought samples back and tested. The only way to bring a sample back is to go to the moon in the first place so I guess Neil really did step onto it!

I think this is a sensible explanation as why else would countries be spending BILLIONS to get to the moon - whoever gets there first will have a monopoly for sure on this energy source and have great controlling power over every nation.

Jason`s right. Here is such a picture where you can clearly see how the flag was constructed.

There is the rod holding it up and you can even see the rods inside the flag itself strectching it out. Armstrong and Aldrin accidentally bunched the flag up as they were getting it out of ts box which is why it looks like it does. It isn´t blowing in the wind. It is bent that way. There is also video footage from the LEM that filmed Aldrin and Armstrong bunching up the flag. You can actually see Armstrong hopping of to take this picture of Aldrin. In other videos ( http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/a11f.1101839.mov http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/a11v_1101342.mpg )you can see astronauts hopping back and fro right next to the flag and guess what: the flag doesn´t move at all. Had there been air it would have.

Other things you can see in this pictures: stars! The hoax morons always say the landings have to have been faked and proof of it is in the fact that there are no stars in any of the pictures. Well here they are... (I see about six).

In this clip from Apollo 17 the astronauts are actually heard saying "it kinda looks like its waving in the breeze" as they are putting up the flag. There is no breeze of course. The flag is only moving because the astronauts are moving it. Note that the flag goes to a dead stop when nobody is touching the pole.

Neil Armstrong was the first man to step on the moon, the flag was deliberately stiffened to appear as though it was waving in the breeze. You are right, there is no atmosphere on the moon. Good for you.

Your name doesn't fit. Your question isn't worded well.

There is no atmosphere but there still in gravity. He plos the flag down and so the momentum from doing so makes it shimmy a bit.

The flag was jiggling due to gravity and he also jumped very high.
