Ok, ok I done some more research on the subject and am coming around to the idea. It still puzzles me that we can send man to the moon with little
more than a pocket calculator (alot of them mind you). But we just can't seem to fathom out why people are in poverty??? Yep spend millions upon
millions on a pointless mission. What exactly was the whole point??? Just so we could prove it can be done??? or just so we can beat the russians at
something.
Remember competition is a sin.
Outside of the "why is the flag fluttering?" or "how come you don't see stars in the photographs?" the "Van Allen deadly radiation" myth
is probably one of the most common -- and the most easily debunked.
The flag "suposedly" looks like its fluttering because (correct me if i'm wrong) apparantly there was wire in the flag??
I don't think you see the stars because of the glare from the sun. I'm not sure though.
You really need to do some research on basic physics before setting yourself up as an expert on the moon flight.
I do not claim to be an expert on moon flight. I am still learning, everyday I learn something new. I do not mean to sound arrogant in my posts. Just
expressing my opinion.
