My 13 yo has been wondering about the flag "waving" on the moon, even though there is no wind there.
I googled this for her: Waving a Flag on the Moon

Rep Power: 12 | | | Saw it last night. They debunked the parallel shadow theory, the slow motion film theory as well as a couple of others.
Oh yeah....if we hadn't been to the moon, then why in the hell is a laser able to bounce off the moon and return to Earth, if that reflector isn't there?
Mythbusters did a hell of a good job on that show.

Rep Power: 42 | | | Some people will not be convinced unil they can buy a latte at the Tranquility base Starbucks.
We went, we got some rocks, we left a used car there just to impress annoy Lunatics.
Tom Hanks was the first guy who stepped onto the lunar surface, wasn't he?
At least, I think that was his name. |

There is no way any telescope on Earth could pick up a few scraps of metal smaller than a school bus with any clarity.

Rep Power: 20 | | | I've been to the website where you got that picture. Very wierd.
The Earth has to have a slight paraboloidic curvature so as to keep the water from spilling out. Duhh

Rep Power: 57 | | | Those mythbusters guys work for PNAC and the neocons. There's oil on the moon. Why else would America spend billion of dollars getting there? Huh? Huh?

Not enough trial and error. It's too far. Technology is way more advanced now. Do it again. We have no idea what else we could find. I'm sure science has a milloin more questions about the moon.
Yes they have ok arguments and defences to our questions, I just haven't bought in yet. Right now I'm 51 49 in favor of we did not land on the moon. I'll watch the myth buster when the rerun it. or my friend might have tevoed it.
I'd be nervous for the astronats if they tried it today.
You kids don't realize just how little technologically we had in the 60's.
Just watch an old 60's movie that uses a computer. It'll have nobs and dials. Remember Lost in space? The robot?
If we did go to the moon, it was an amazing feat.  |
