Did Americans really land on the Moon?

"Video footage of the 'moon-landing'"

A few years back, I watched a documentary on the American moon-landing. For me, it cast serious doubt as to whether, in fact, Americans had landed on the moon. Why does the flag wave on the moon when there is no atmosphere? Why are shadows cast in different directions when there should be only one light source? Why do crosshairs from camera shots appear BEHIND objects? The clip on youtube, which raises these points, is actual footage so it can't be considered fake. NASA refuse to comment...hmmm!

Yes, Americans landed on the Moon - it's mad to say otherwise!
Right choice
No, Americans did not land on the Moon - I can't believe NASA pulled the wool over my eyes so easily!

It looked fake from the start, watching it live on tv. But the thing I find intresting is that We as a country had the technogy to do it.

If we didn't land on the moon, don't you think the Soviets would have been the first ones to say so???

yes, the americans did land on the moon
itz weird nd i had 2 wotch da footage on youtube b4 betting, but if u wotch the impossible planet on doctor who, u see a girl slowly float inside a black hole. why did she float that way? random movements of nature! there wos no gravity on the moon nd no gravity in space, so the rippling effect of the flag was probably the same.

its certain that the americans landed on the moon. i had doubts myself but after i watched a documentary on the discover channel i am convinced that man did land on the moon.

there's no gravity on the moon so anything of that nature could happen.

I've never seen a video of the Russians landing on the moon. I wonder why? In the photo above he does look like he's blowing on the flag to make it wave (haha) but the audio I listened to of the landing it did state that the solar winds caused the flag to wave like that.

ok
(we just simply confess that,they landed on the moon).At that time the technology was not so developed as today and y does no one attempt to land on the moon once again?

dude, Do you even know anything about the moon? There IS atmosphere on the moon. But I didn't understand about the part of camera stuff.

As per the article on this page it seems fake.
So read this article from this site http://www.braeunig.us/space/hoax.htm
You must see this link.

what about solar winds ? its a theory that we can harness the solar winds and use it for thrust, so since the moon has no atmosphere it could have caused the flag to move? Also its to advanced of a hoax for that time it was made. We love conspiracy stuff dont we!

I heard from my teacher that the flag was made from some sort of special metal/substance which allowed it to curl up and then when they took it out it was still unfurling so it looks like it's waving

Stupid conspiracy crap, some people will look for anything to pick at. Take the Twin Towers for example. Yes, Americans did land on the moon. Look through a telescope on a clear night and you can still see the flag

There is a mirror on the moon that is used to measure the distance between Earth and the moon via lasers, if they didn't land, Who put it there??

If anyone has done their homework, they'd know that solar rays can be reflected from the earth's atmosphere. That explains the sunlight. They also installed a premature solar powered flag that would wave about every hour or so for about fifteen minutes.

America...landed on the moon, and if it didn't back then, then they would have done it by now. I think the creator made a point, but it's too overdone.

the flag doesnt wave on the moon... it was folded during the journey and thats how the fabric is rippled...and since there is no friction in the air, cause there is no air, so when the astronauts were moving the flag into position, causing motion, the movements were long-lasting
no i dont think it did
Flag

Tell us why this bet is inappropriate
