Conspiracy theoretics often suggest that multiple sources of light were present, and that all the landing photos and videos were taken in a film studio.įamous photo showing shadows of the rocks and Lunar Module(Apollo 14, 1971) Most of the photos and video recordings clearly show that some shadows fall in different directions. However, this was apparently not the case during the moon landing. So it is solid to suggest that all shadows on the Moon should run parallel to each other. On the moon, there is only one light source sufficiently strong to form shadows the Sun. After Neil Armstrong planted it to the surface of the Moon, it briefly appeared to move as it was unfolding itself to its final shape.

For practical reasons, the flag was originally folded to maximize space and stored in a thin tube.

To make the flag stand still on the moon, the flag was actually made from plastic material, similar to the one that tents are usually made of. However, if we look closely on the original moon landing footage, we can see that the flag is actually standing still, and not moving in any way during the entire tape. According to this argument, frequently cited by the people who think that the moon landings were nothing more but a hoax, is that the star-spangled banner of the United States of America seemed to wave and flutter as Neil Armstrong planted it to the ground. This wouldn’t have been much of an issue except for the fact that there is virtually no atmosphere on the moon, and therefore no wind whatsoever to have such an effect on any flag.īuzz Aldrin salutes the U.S.
