The Moon Landing was faked
The classic crazy people talk like that.
I actually am sceptical about the moon-landing, as I don't see how a flag can flutter in space.
But yeah, 9/11 was an inside job tops the list.
More than that, the flag is a fine point, but how do you explain no stars? And why is it becoming such a issue for them to go back? It seems like NASA avoids it like the plague, its not even funny anymore.
For the flag, here's a simple experiment you can do at home. take a slinky, the longer the better. Attach one end to something, it doesn't really matter what. back up until it is no longer touching the floor and is not close to anything else around it. Now, shake it back and forth once. you will notice that this creates a wave to form that ripples up and down the slinky before being finally dampened by friction. As there is much less friction in space, we can assume that any motion imparted would create waves that would rebound and continue much longer than in atmosphere.
I believe that the lack of stars if in fact a lack of magnification of stars. If I'm remembering right, the Earth's atmosphere magnifies and amplifies the star light so that it appears much brighter than in space.
As for not going back, it's because that is an extremely difficult and costly endeavor for very little return. All the moon is is a barren, lifeless rock that takes several billion dollars to go to that NASA, and the American public, would rather see put into more practical pursuits. Seriously, the only reason we went there the first time was to stick it to the Soviets. /lecture
