Actually, the flag would wave even MORE without wind resistance. It would also wave more with less gravity to pull it down. The flag would have a much easier time of things on the moon than on earth. As I've said repeatedly, there is no way available to determine things by the behavior of the flag itself.Originally Posted by Shoden
And how am I supposed to prove a negative? You say "prove we can't see the site"- how the HELL does that work? The point is, there is no image of the first landing site, aside from the ones supposedly taken AT the site itself. It seems to me that "hey, look, it's a picture of the thing!!!" is the ultimate way to prove we really landed there. Yet, there is none. I can't even find a close-up image of that little corner of the moon. Even on NASA's site. You can find from-earth images of other landings, though.
Which means one of only 3 things:
1. Our landing is invisible from earth, as is the generally accepted theory. Something that was actually disproven by that one pic taken. It'd HAVE to be visible from earth to show the earth, no doubt.
2. The landing happened somewhere other than it was reported to. I don't know how effective 1969's tracking tech was. But I'm pretty sure they had triangulation tech. advanced enough to make sure. Sailors could triangulate thousands of years ago using just the stars, a compass, a map, and a sextant.
3. The landing site itself is invisible. Either by not being there, or having been destroyed. Since nothing happens on the moon, it probably wasn't destroyed. We haven't had a suitably large meteor strike since the landing occured.
Can't give you anything more than that to chew on. Unless you have an alternate theory?
