Flag waving on the moon while untouched by astronauts! Proof of hoax?


Isn't this waving flag on the moon while no one is touching it, irrefutable proof of a hoax?

No. It isn't clear that the astronaut doesn't brush the flag, and even if he didn't, there are other possibilities like kicking dirt against the flagstaff or static electricity. The way the movement of the flag continues after the astronaut passes looks nothing like the way a flag behaves in an atmosphere.
What is really difficult to explain is how a flag could hang unmoving in an atmosphere for hours on end if it was indeed a fake.

Oh yes, the amazing magic thread, very convincing argument you have there.

There are the astonauts with plenty of dust clinging to their suits, and you think static electricity doesn't happen on the moon?

Hey flyingswan,

I think 'deleted by an administrator' and 'deleted by the poster' says it all. They are the strongest arguments thus far of an actual moon hoax.

If you want my opinion,'deleted by an administrator' means the poster felt that a little profanity would add weight to an otherwise unconvincing argument and 'deleted by the poster' means that the poster belatedly realised that posting while drunk can make you look remarkably stupid.
