PS. I've seen the landing sites and flags and footprints through a telescope. Unless you figure out how all that and the footprints got there without man, let me know. Until then, Occam's Razor.
Not even the Hubble can see with enough resolution to be able to make out something the size of the Apollo landing sites.

Please tell us which telescope you used.

Also, tell us what you think of this.

It's not hard to find an observatory which has time to view the LRO. Also helps that I live in a NASA town.

Tha paralaxis stuff doesn't convince me.

I can't remember what they said but Mythbusters also explained the flag moving thing.

Also, who is "us"? Are you presenting this thread to someone else as part of some kind of sociology study or something? I'm still trying to figure out exactly WTF it is you're doing here besides stirring sh*t.

I wasn't sure if it was just that or if he was showing all this to someone else or something.

MythBusters was discredited a long time ago.

Here's the MythBusters video you mentioned.

The first video on the above list exposes it as lame sophistry.

I always hated Power Rangers and called it Potty Trainers instead. My brother used to watch it though.

Technically, you're not wrong. There IS solar wind, but that is really more like radiation. Still, it's "wind"! And it does affect objects in space, too.

Simplest explanation for the differences in flag movement is... the Mythbusters guys (and gal) used a lot more force in their experiment than was actually needed on the moon. The flag calms down eventually because of the resistance applied against the flag pole and holder itself.

As for the flag moving at 2:37 when the astronaut moves past, I'm pretty certain he touched it ever so slightly with the left side of his suit or arm. But you'll never have a camera angle or better quality footage to prove otherwise.

Compare the flag movement at the 00:50 and 1:50 time marks.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7yc2rVOs00

At the 1:50 time mark the movement of the support rod shows how the astronaut is turning the pole. The astronout is obviously not moving the pole in a way that slows the flag down. The flag slows down the same way it does in air in the MythBusters experiment. Their experiment was an attempt at obfuscation by people who knew the moon missions had been faked in a studio.

This video shows that the flag started moving before he got close enough to touch it.

Initial Apollo 15 Flag Movement
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dW9qcL4LiUg


The flag movement is one hundred percent consistent with its being in atmosphere.


Here's something else.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jYLRglPxYo

Look how the guy from MythBusters avoids actually discussing the issue. It seems that he doesn't even want the audience to see what's being pointed out. He's behaving like a cornered sophist.

Jarrah is an idiot.

Not sure why you worship him so much. Looks like Grant was trying real hard not to tell him what an idiot he is. He used to be a part of this board....for actual TMNT talk.

Physics in a vacuum explains the movement. The flag pole was touched. Action / reaction explains the movement until all the kinetic energy wears out, then the flag remains static, which it would not in an atmosphere considering all the movement around it.

Occam's Razor, dude, Occam's Razor.

This brings up a nice little side-note- a Late Renaissance Italian motto of unknown attribution- Se non è vero, è ben trovato ("Even if it is not true, it is well conceived") when referred to a particularly artful explanation. The "fake" lunar landing theory certainly falls under this category.

I showed that the movement in this video...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gn6MTrin5eU
(2:35 time mark)

...started before he got close enough to touch it with these two videos.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFMpmjEv9o0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dW9qcL4LiUg


Just saying that it was touched doesn't debunk what those videos show. Tell us why those two videos don't show that the flag had already started moving before he got close enough to touch it.


You've also got these two to explain.
