i'm just curious why the flags waving around like a mad man on the moon when there is no wind? *shrug* /troll

12/4/2005 8:35:58 PM

SOLAR WIND

12/4/2005 8:39:24 PM

Solar Wind that is the best thing I have ever heard

12/4/2005 8:47:12 PM

how would fabric last in such a cold climate too

the moon is an alias

12/4/2005 8:58:28 PM

^^^^ The astronauts put the flag there. They fiddled with it. There is no air --> no drag to slow it down.

12/4/2005 9:08:17 PM

Yes, I was there. Freighthopped a ride trying to run away from home as a kid. Gave 'sleeping with the moon for cover' a whole new meaning.

Hundreds of thousands of American workmen were involved in the moon race. They must all be lying.

Watch these hundreds of hours of mundane, boring videos, and all your doubts will be put to rest:

I hope that's just trolling.

12/4/2005 9:57:51 PM

Its such a deep rooted conspiracy that even the Russians kept quiet.

12/4/2005 10:02:14 PM

yeah the russians kept quiet because we paid them off

12/5/2005 1:42:40 AM

the real question is

is it really made out of cheese

12/5/2005 1:51:52 AM

There's a laser reflector on the moon for range-finding purposes. Can't really fake that.

12/5/2005 2:32:48 AM

nope...we landed on the third trip though..Apollo 8 and 10 just circled.

12/5/2005 5:13:54 AM

Oh, you're asking about the prior missions.

Apollo 8 didn't have a Lunar Module. Apollo 9 tested the LM in Earth orbit along with a spacewalk.

Apollo 10 almost did land, but consider this quote from one of the pilots:

Quote :

"Two hours later, at the end of another lunar orbit, Stafford and Cernan were ready to rehearse the ascent and rendezvous. Once again passing low over the southwestern corner of the Sea of Tranquillity, they jettisoned the Descent Stage and fired the Ascent Engine for about 15 seconds and, soon thereafter, made a perfect rendezvous with Young. Almost everything had gone perfectly. There had been one anxious moment when, at the moment of staging, the Ascent Stage began to spin and pitch. As it turned out, a control switch for the small steering rockets had been improperly set and it took Stafford eight long seconds to regain control of the spacecraft and then fire the Ascent Engine. "I saw the lunar horizon go by about seven or eight times in ten seconds," Cernan says. "That's a hair-raising experience. That's when I said 'Son-of-a-bitch, what the hell happened?' "

So I really doubt they had their shit together enough to make a landing at that point. Besides, why wouldn't NASA announce it?

12/5/2005 7:08:02 AM

there's wires in the flag to make it stiff... not solar wind

and i hope that was just a sarcastic comment in the first place

12/5/2005 9:27:47 AM

i think we landed on the moon, but I can TOTALLY understand why someone would say we didn't.

reasons to believe we did land on the moon:

- we have samples from the landing
- we put reflective mirrors to use lasers to detect the exact distance to it
- you can see the landing sites with a powerful telescope

12/5/2005 9:36:31 AM

If we have made it to the moon before, I'm just wondering why it's going to take NASA 15 years to get us back there now. Shouldn't our technology be so much better that we could do it in 5-10 years? Also, why haven't we been in 30 years? Did we learn everything we needed to learn in just 2-3 visits?

12/5/2005 1:30:01 PM

because of the budget cuts due to america not wanting to keep going back, etc etc

12/5/2005 1:42:01 PM

I think we landed on the moon.

At the same time if some time down the road, the government came out and said "hey, we didn't", I'm not sure I'd be overly surprised.

Not sure I'd really care much either.

12/5/2005 1:58:22 PM

Send a million… - two million dollars, leave it in a bag by the Sea of Tranquility. I don't know, the North Shore!

Because it's a big dead rock. And you could feed an army for a year for the same price.

12/5/2005 2:44:29 PM

how could they send ppl to the moon before they even had calculators?

it's a lie"!
