saw an advert for a programme on channel 5 exposing the first moon landing as a hoax. yes its channel 5, but even so.

 

how come the flag was blowing in the wind on the footage, eh? there's no air in space...

 

also, Buzz Aldrin - clearly a hoax name.

Apollo moon landing hoax accusations.

is the flag blowing, or is it weightless and floating about??

Hoax claim:

 

The flapping flag.

 

Counter-claim:

 

The astronauts were moving the flag into position, causing motion. Since there is no air on the Moon to provide friction, these movements caused a long-lasting undulating movement seen in the flag. There was a rod extending from the top of the flagpole to hold the flag out for proper display. The fabric's rippled appearance was due to its being folded during flight and gave it an appearance which could be mistaken for motion in a still photograph.

Better than the hoax explanations, plus it's a simple and logical answer.   Proof the Moon landings are fake.

sorry to butt in fella's, but any idea when this is on?? I saw the advert for it 7 it looks interesting.

9pm Tonight on 5

Cheers Aaron

Stu's gay.

Just seen the programme, and i pretty happy with the proof that the scientists and other bods have given to say that they went.

 

If any of plans for the future that George Dubya talked about here come to fruition, it should be a very interesting time indeed.

 

Thoughts?
