Please tell me you don't believe any of that horse-hockey. Among other things that wave effect with the flag was achieved with a wire. Personally, I like NASA's stance on the subject, they don't even give the nut-jobs the dignity of a rebuttal. Just honks me off that people would try to tear down the greatest achievement in the history of humanityOn 2003-02-11 08:48, Chris Davison wrote:

Jack,
personally, I don't think any of them set foot.... have you seen any of the conspiracy programmes ?
the photographic cross-hairs anomalies
the moon-shadows anomalies
the radiation problems
the total lack of stars in the backgrounds
the footage speeded up gives perfect Earth gravity
multiple duplicate skylines apparently from different parts of the moon
the flapping flag (on an atmosphere-free moon)
the total lack of displaced dust on landing
the USA flags 150% prominent,lit and out-of-shadow, despite the angle of the sun
TV coverage beamed worldwide *from* an image *from* a TV screen in USA.... ie 2nd-hand
also, when asked by some reporter/student (I don't know which) that had pursued him for years on these issues, Neil Armstrong refused to swear on the Bible that he'd been to the moon (this was last year I think).... when pressed to do so, by this guy with a Bible, he punched him in the face...!
Interesting stuff, if you get a chance to see it on TV, I'd recommend it.... it certainly raises a few questions...
