Why Is The Flag Flying On The Moon?

Decent Essays
If there is no wind on the moon then why is the flag waving? This topic has been unanswered for many years “Did we really go to the moon.” Some people say we did, some people say we dint but we’ll never know the truth. There are many videos about NASA going to the moon but could it have all been staged?
Why is the flag waving on the moon? If you go to the internet and look up “Flag on the moon” it will show pictures of the American flag but why is it waving? If there is no wind in space the flag shouldn’t be waving. Science states that they purposely made this affect to not allow the flag to just hang flat. It also states that it was created by inserting a stiff wire into the fabric.
Shouldn’t there be moon dust on the launching pad? There

    Fifty-six hours into NASA’s third attempt to land on the moon, Houston radioed the spacecraft with a seemingly-innocent request. Following NASA’s instructions, the astronauts turned on the hydrogen and oxygen stirring fans in order to obtain more accurate readings. Two minutes later, an oxygen tank exploded. Electrical power and the altimeter readings began to fluctuate wildly. Communications were briefly lost.…

    One of the biggest rumors is that it is totally fake because in one of the pictures, there is no stars in the sky. There are so many rumors that they can’t explain all of them. But then again, Apollo 11 was the first moon landing. So thanks to Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin Aldrin.…

    The reason why there were also no stars shown in the photos is because they were too bright for the camera to capture them. There was a ¨fast exposure time¨ and ¨small aperture¨ (www.theguardian.com). Therefore, there was no way to capture the background of the moon with the stars because they were too bright. To recreate this, they would have had to use millions of light lasers, which at that time were expensive and only came in the color red. Overall, the moon landing was real because uneven surfaces influenced the shadows and the brightness of the stars also affected…

Many gainsay the idea that the United States really did land on the moon in 1969, despite the prevalent proof surrounding the matter.

    So to fix this conspiracists claim that NASA had a studio where they filmed the moon missions, surrounded, with a giant black screen, or they altered the pictures and removed the stars. However, there is a logical explanation as to why there are no stars. The moon is made out of regolith that is about four-to-five kilometers deep. The regolith has an albedo rating, telling how much light is reflected, between seven and ten percent (“Theories”). The reason people can see the moon is not because the moon glows on its own, but because the moon is reflecting seven to ten percent of the light from the sun.…

    Apollo 11 discovered that the moon is lifeless; containing no living organisms, fossils, or native organic compounds (SNASM). Extensive research and testing revealed no proof for life, past or present, to be found in the lunar samples. Because of the idea of aliens inhabiting the lunar land, a plaque was attached to the leg of the lunar landing vehicle that read “ HERE MEN FROM THE PLANET EARTH FIRST STEP FOOT UPON THE MOON JULY 1969 A.D. WE CAME IN PEACE FOR ALL MANKIND” (SNASM). This plaque was signed by former president Richard Nixon along with all three astronauts that took part in the lunar landing mission.…

    Glancing up into the sky, I see the thirteen red and white strips attached to each other flowing in the wind along with the fifty white stars pinned into the upper right hand corner with a backdrop of navy blue. Most people see the flag every day, but think nothing of it, but the flag is a symbol of our country. The United States flag has a different meaning to every person; this is what it means to me. The United States flag stands for so many things but most importantly, strength and respect. It stands for the brave soldiers risking their lives, to protect our nation.…

    Many people that fly this flag are normally a very patriotic group and tend to love this country. Most of them claim to fly it because, “it is my right and it represents my country”. However, if you really think about it, it does not represent our country. In fact, it is far from it. During the Civil War this flag was created by the south to show that the Confederacy (South) was no longer apart of the Union (North).…

    The area I am talking about is that we brought pieces of the moon back with us, rocks that would be nearly impossible to replicate here on earth and would actually be easier to gather by traveling to the moon and bringing them back with us. These rocks are laden with tiny holes from meteoroid impacts that are only possible on a planet with little to no atmosphere. Also, if examined, one would find isotopes that are the result of reactions with highly charged particles that could, again, only happen on a planet with little to no atmosphere. Another piece of evidence that implies a moon landing is the size of the team; at its peak, the size of the team that landed man on the moon was over 300,000. You would think after 45 years someone would have come forward with the supposed…

    The one reason that the waving flag, when you look at the photo of Neil on the moon, the flag does know that it 's moving and that is a little odd since there is no atmosphere out there, that is a huge head scratcher just because if they were really on the moon why is it moving. Another reason why I agree with it being a conspiracy is because the claim has it that if they landed on the moon that the crater would be so much deeper and larger than it really is. In the photo, it is not really even visible or ever look like it was moved. Of the 10 reasons that I saw, reading into them really makes me think that maybe the moon landing never really happened. The claims that are being said really make sense, especially if you look at the photos being shown; you see exactly what thousands of others see.…

    The American flag is a sacred symbol of the freedom that the United States of America has. In 1777, the American flag was made an official ensign for America, and to this day, the only thing that has changed about the flag is the number of stars on it. The flag is not just a symbol for the people that live in America, but also for the people that live in other countries. People in other countries that wish to immigrate to America see the flag for what it truly represents, freedom.…

    On September 12, 1962, president john F Kennedy delivered his “why we chose to go to the moon” speech at Rice University in Houston, Texas. The occasion of the speech was to address to the American people the importance of returning to space and being the first nation to place a man on the surface of the moon. Kennedy chose this time to deliver his speech because we were currently at the height of the cold war and the United States was beginning to lose the space and technological race against the Russian nation. Therefore Kennedy appeared at Rice University where he delivered his speech to a crowd that consisted of scientists, professors, students, and the general American people. The context that shaped Kennedys’ speech was the importance of mankind to achieve the near impossible feat of landing a human being on the surface of the moon and the profound impact that this accomplishment would have on the future of the human race.…
