Does it actually sway? I was under the impression that the moon's atmosphere was too thin as to allow it to be caught in a breeze like on Earth.

I wrote "swaying" as an poetic expression

But look at the images they are beautiful

It mentions that the Apollo 11 flag isn't visible = it was a hoax.

*ahem*
These images of flag "shadows" are not proof. They are images produced by the same people that produced the original moon "landing" images. Of course we would expect them to continue, 43 years later, to further generate false evidence to "prove" that the moon landings actually happened. We all know that the landings would have been impossible, due to the radiation belts full of aliens.


...
Ouch. My brain hurts now.

It's all about the HAARP array. The government uses it to do things to the Earth's ionosphere, like to make lenticular clouds for hiding their stolen UFO technology, so if it's that powerful they can most certainly use HAARP to put shadows on the moon. And by shadows I mean long, thin shadows that will make us all think that there are flags up there. And stuff. Gubmint's up to no good I tells yer!

They should have just used Photoshop. Much easier, less expensive, doesn't use nearly as much power, and they can like paint realistic flames on the Moon.

TBH

Once you've achieved low earth orbit and have pefected maneuvers, rendezvous, and EVAs, it's just a matter of money to land on the moon.

The USSR heavily monitored our space program if they had any way to place even the slightest shred of doubt if they had even the slightest proof that we really did not land on the moon they would have jumped all over it a told the world.They also sent probes to the moon on more than one occasion at the same time that an Apollo mission was in progress so they no doubt where not only observing the moon but also the landings if they where fake they'd have produced evidence and shown it to the world with a size 14 shoe.
Not to mention that large numbers of people with their own telescopes who observed the flights of the Apollo missions incl the explosion and loss of O2 aboard #13.

Yep the Soviets new it was impossible and didn't try... which is why one of their prototypes left in orbit crashed in Australia.

And......

The laser reflectors that were postioned on the moon by the Apollo 11 Astronaughts to acurately measure distance.

It had to be positioned just right for it to work to reflect the beam back to Earth

Cheers

mapuc, that's been in the works for awhile now. I hope that if and when they do then they will share their knowledge with the rest of the world. It would be a step in the right direction.
