"well i think it may have been faked because how the hell can a flag wave without any air???" - Unknown
It didn\'t wave. If you watched closely.. the flag only waved while the Astronauts were setting it up. Most of the movement can easily be attributed to the astronauts moving the flagpole.. and thus the flag around. If you watch moon footage from other sources than the Fox special, you\'ll notice that it stands PERFECTLY still after they put it up. (Which in itself is pretty strange since the moon has 1/6th of the earth\'s gravity... wouldn\'t the flag fall eventually??) Anyway, what about solar winds?? I\'ve heard quite a few specials on the Learning Channel explaining how these could power deep space flights much in the same way our wind propells a boat. Seeing as how the moon has no atmostphere to buffer the Solar Winds.. could\'nt those make the flag wave/stand still?? (It\'s not like any of the astronauts would have felt the effects of a gentle breeze in those gargantuan suits.)
It\'s just kinda funny that if you had turned to the History Channel not more than 20 minuties after the Fox special, you would have seen "History\'s Greatest Blunders" which was about the Apollo astronauts who burned to death on the launchpad. The footage the History channel showed had no "evidence" like the Fox special had. No crossing shadows, no "Selective shadowing", no missing crosshair pieces, and no waving flag.
