No one has ruined it because we discussed a countries founding.... It was just like two replies....

There's a few things nobody's pointed out here (I also think its a hoax).

The moon, supposedly, has a gravitational factor of about 0.3G's, or just under 1/3 of the earth's normal gravity.

If this is the case, the video does not match for several reasons that nobody has mentioned. When the astronauts "run" along the moon's surface, they kick up sand on the surface. This sand's ballistic trajectory, when airborne, is identical to the trajectory of sand on earth, but it looks to be moving about 1/3 as fast.

If you run on a beach, you will automatically (in dry sand) kick up sand approximately to the height of your knees, both infront and behind.

Keep in mind the astronauts are supposedly wearing boots that weigh about 1000lbs to hold them down. In 0.3G, the sand they kick up should be travelling atleast as high as their heads.

If you look at the foot prints in the moon surface, they are inconsistent with the "consistency" of the sand that is kicked up, to the incorrect height, in the "moon jogging scenes".

There are several portions of "moon dune buggying" in which the buggy drives over a depression and down a hill. If you start to drive down a sharp downhill in a car, you get a slight feeling of weightlessness. If you're going really fast, you might even come off the ground. In 0.3G, the vehicle would have travelled forward a considerable distance prior to coming downward. In otherwords, you'd get way more "air time".

Its so so fake...

I doubt it is because of the noticed flag shortly after the adventure though I most certainly think the film is touched up. Something I find interesting is that the flag in the video is blowing as if it was in high wind, the thing is.... There is no wind on the moon!

ReneeB is correct. If the religion aspect is not left out right away, we cannot let the thread stay open. Keep it to the moon guys.

Im 15,Just read all seven pages of this thread and

[boas_and_such]

i dunno...i think it was real...i think that people just start thinking about shtuff to much and begin to doubt it...people should just let history be what it is...history...

[boas_and_such]

and to the comment about wind on the moon...oh yes there is...it's called solar wind...i do believe it's caused by the sun...

[paulsreef]

Don't you think if this was the greatest hoax of all time; a detail like a flag blowing in the wind wouldn't be overlooked. Also if this was staged in a studio, where would the wind come from?

That explains how the flag was created.
