Are the american flags still standing on the moon?

Question

Do the American Flags still stand on the moon? Any pictures from Hubble to support this?

Answer 1

I would assume so, however its too small to be picked up by the Hubble.
There is no reason to believe that we never landed on the moon. There have been some seemingly convincing arguments to this effect, however they just don't hold water.
The idea that we havent gone to the moon is just a bizarre conspiracy theory with no real evidence to back it up.

Answer 2

The astronauts of Apollo 11 saw the flag get blown down by the rocket blast when they took off. But the flags of the later missions were set up farther away from the LM and should still be standing. In particular, the flag of Apollo 17 could be seen after the LM took off by the remote controlled camera on the rover, which operated for a short time after takeoff.

Hubble is far too small to resolve a 3 foot flag 240,000 miles away. The smallest object Hubble could resolve on the Moon would be about 300 feet wide. It would take a telescope 100 times bigger than Hubble to resolve a 3 foot object, which is 100 times smaller than 300 feet. This is because the wave nature of light places a theoretical limit on the smallest resolvable detail based on the diameter of the telescope and the wavelength of light. The only way to resolve smaller detail is to make the telescope bigger, use a shorter wavelength than visible light, or get closer.

Answer 3

yes. they stand still. no atmosphere on moon. but remember, they are in a gravity field, now officially called 'microgravity'

Answer 4

If a meteor hasn't knocked them down or those fascist Martians haven't removed it.

Answer 5

Yes.

Answer 6

Probably.

Answer 7

i hope they are still there
