hi people....i have been following the site for a while and really enjoy it, it got me wondering about the theories behind the moon landings in the 60,s and 70,s, i remember stories were being bandied around that they were staged, some people were saying that the american flag was blowing in the wind, when apparently there is no wind on the moon?...they also claimed that the van allen belt would have prevented a landing at that time. I know there are some very knowledgeable guys who post on here, and wonder if anyone has a view, as to whether or not these things are true?....i look forward to hearing your slant on this issue as it causes a lot of argument between my friends and i bilbo baggins
Hi mate, I don't know a huge amount about this stuff but I am sure others will give you insightful links to things for to check out. I do believe that one set of moon landings was staged as I saw some telling stuff in a video recently. Just wanted to say about the flag -
If the flag pole was vertical (obv it was), it had a horizontal rod going through the top of the flag from pole to end so that the flag remained in an 'open' state. When the flag was stuck in the ground it was undoubtedly creased etc. There is a very small gravity force on the moon, so the flag would slowly have continued to unfurl until it hung flat like a piece of paper. This may have been seen in the video footage. I haven't seen the video footage, but what I can say is that if this did happen and was caught on camera, it would have looked like it was unfurling in slo-mo due to weak gravity not being the same as here. If it was blowing around as though their was a breeze, then it is fake. So if you have seen the footage, bare that in mind.
Peace

My GCSE physics teacher explained to me that as there was less gravity on thye moon and the flag was spring loaded, therefore when the flag sprang up there was nothing to stop it moving in. giving the appearance that was "blowing in the wind". hope this helps.
ps my physics teacher was very knowledgable on anything

We did land on the moon. Once. It's all out there.
The real interesting thing about the moon landing is the masonic connection ie Neil Armstrong with his freaky paraphernalia.
It was a religious thing in my opinion. They went up, payed homage to their god and came back.

Mate we all know we've landed on the moon this is 2011, but it was staged once.
