Moon landings is real. Silby (2001) pinpoints that American flag is not moving by the wind, instead, it is caused by astronauts. Because the flag is attached to a horizontal wire frame, and when the astronaut push the stick down while twisting it back and forward, they caused the flag to 'wobble'.
ReplyDeleteIt could have been believed that moon landing is real.The real cause of flag's movement was inertia of astronaut's movement(Roger Launius cited in Than(2009)).The flag is connected with astronaut by a vertical pole and a horizontal one,which is the reason why the flag open up and flap without air.In addition, the episode of a FOX TV show titled Conspiracy Theory(2001) has indicated that this is almost no dust due to no fire when landing on the moon.The speed of landing is low because of low gravity.Therefore,it is understandable to land without spurting fire.Consequently,it is doubtless that the live video and photographs are really taken on the moon.
