The Space Age started as Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the Moon.

Proved it "COULD" be done. Didn;t prove it was done to me. Why have we not been back?

Gravity affects wind. The wind was blowing awfully strong on that day in 1969 according to the wind. The falg waving in the wind did it for me. I just don;t buy it.

You actually think it was wind moving that flag?

Yes.

As far as the flag..I never saw it wave.

What are you talking about? We went back six times after Apollo 11, five times successfully.

I take it that means you don't want to answer my question?

Or point out in the actual video, where the flag is moving when it is not being grabbed by the astronauts, or the pole being jammed into the ground?

Or point out in a subsequent video as astronauts are walking near it but not touching it, where it moves at all?

The moon has no atmosphere thus no wind, so it's imposable for a flag to move unless physically acted on.

I believe I've found the source of emmett's skepticism about the moon landing.

Has something to do with the source he got the information from.

Who can blame him......?
