The Lone Ranger Posted March 31, 2012 #2 Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) Well going there costs a lot of money and resources. But perhaps there is another reason.... About the flag, perhaps its caused by something else like by the effects of the equipment. they had to take a picture of the flag as well, so if theres no wind you need to have a rope on the flag or something for the picture of the flag right?.

+and-then Posted March 31, 2012 #3 Share Posted March 31, 2012 IF we really landed on the moon...WHY have we never been back?? And, why is the flag waving, if there's no wind on the moon?? I was 8 years old in July of '69. Loved everything about the excitement of the times and saw the whole world in an uproar of excitement over this American achievement. Apollo missions 11,12,14,15,16, and 17 (the first night launch)landed 12 Americans on the moon's surface. The costs were astronomical and we were fighting in Vietnam at the same time. Eventually those who advocated spending money on the "Great Society" won out and our return missions ceased. That flag doesn't actually wave, it's just on a frame that holds it upright. There have been photos of the landing sites that show the base of the LEM that was left when the astronauts took off to meet back with the command service module. Bottom line is that people will argue with a wall sometimes and won't believe no matter how much evidence you show them. And we are all guilty of it at different points and over different situations so I guess it's just human to be a doubter. But I believe we landed multiple times and progressed in science a great deal for it. If you're interested to see some of those 12 guys tell the story in their own words I recommend the documentary THE WONDER OF IT ALL. http://thewonderofitallfilm.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MID Posted March 31, 2012 #4 Share Posted March 31, 2012 IF we really landed on the moon...WHY have we never been back?? Simple answers are generally best, especially when the questions have been answered multiple times before. We haven't been back due to short sighted governments that have failed to provide the funding to return and continue what we started. And, why is the flag waving, if there's no wind on the moon?? Simple. The flag waves because someone moved it. It's the only reason any flag in the vacuum of the Moon ever moved. Simple physics: Move it...it waves.

S2F Posted March 31, 2012 #5 Share Posted March 31, 2012 IF we really landed on the moon...WHY have we never been back?? And, why is the flag waving, if there's no wind on the moon?? There is an entire thread dedicated to exploring the 'moon hoax' covering just about every facet of the CT claims. It is quite in depth and can lean heavily toward the technical side on occasion however it is the best source just about anywhere to answer any questions you might have about the topic. As a cautionary note though, it is quite lengthy and would take considerable time to go through. You can read it here if you would like to. Did we land on the moon? Or, you could just listen to MID. He really knows what he is talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czero 101 Posted March 31, 2012 #6 Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) "Seeker of Truth" but not a "Reader of Words", apparently... Not sure how one could miss the "Did We Land on the Moon?" thread especially when it would have been one of the top 2 or 3 titles on this Forum's thread list at the time this thread was started...

skyeagle409 Posted March 31, 2012 #7 Share Posted March 31, 2012 IF we really landed on the moon...WHY have we never been back?? And, why is the flag waving, if there's no wind on the moon?? An experiment was conducted in a vacuum chamber with the type of flag used on the moon and in that experiment the flag was waving as it was on the moon.

Fergus Posted April 1, 2012 #8 Share Posted April 1, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOo6aHSY8hU Does this look like a response from someone who faked a landing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrLzs Posted April 1, 2012 #9 Share Posted April 1, 2012 IF we really landed on the moon...WHY have we never been back?? And, why is the flag waving, if there's no wind on the moon?? I'm curious... apart from not bothering to search the forum first before posting, and using large fonts to try to suggest this is VERY important.. 1. Did you just come up with this, out of the blue? 2. If not, why would you not explain what led to your enquiry, and where you researc er.. stumbled upon the information that elicited that post? Would you care to do so now? Thanks in advance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eionman Posted April 1, 2012 #10 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Whenever the flag waves, notice that its being held or touched by the astronauts. The only reason the flag waves is due to the fact that its being acted upon by another force Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafterman Posted April 1, 2012 #11 Share Posted April 1, 2012 IF we really landed on the moon...WHY have we never been back?? And, why is the flag waving, if there's no wind on the moon?? Because NASA spent a few hundred billion to fake the moon landing and then someone decided it would be really cool and look awesome to turn on a fan to make the flag move.

Waspie_Dwarf Posted April 1, 2012 #12 Share Posted April 1, 2012 As this topic offers nothing new to the Apollo Hoax debate and is essentially replicating an existing topic I see no real purpose in keeping it going. seeker of truth54, if you wish to debate this subject please feel free to do so here: Did we land on the moon?
