I'll try and find out where it came from.

IMO, looks like it has been well hidden on the net...

Claim: A video clip shows a NASA studio-produced 'outtake' of the first moon landing.
Status: False.
...
A less elaborate video twist on the moon landing hoax was featured at moontruth.com (you can still view it here), where web surfers could view a re-creation (or perhaps we should say "pre-creation") of the first moon landing, purportedly filmed in 1965. The footage is revealed to be studio fakery when a bank of lights breaks loose, intruding into the shot and sending the film crew swarming onto the set to prepare for another "take."
...
The folks at Moontruth did come clean about the "out takes" being nothing more than an elaborate practical joke. You can view their explanation of how they made the clips at "The Full Story" section of their web site.
For the past 30 years, a small reflective plate about 18 inches square has been sitting on the lunar surface quietly bouncing laser beams back to Earth. It continues to defy the predictions of some early Apollo planners who guessed the specialized mirror would quickly be buried in powdery moondust.
When Neil Armstrong placed and balanced the Laser Ranging Retro-Reflector on the white ground just a few giant moonsteps from the site where the Eagle touched down, nobody could have known the device would be as useful at the turn of the 21st century as it was then. But thanks to its simple, non-mechanical design and an extraordinarily placid lunar world, scientists still use the reflector to follow the most miniscule wobbles in the moon's spin and orbit.

One thing kind of bugs my though! I have tryed to see the flag with the telescope here at the collage. Some of the so called great minds here said it could not be seen. I would think with all the power of the bigger telescopes out there that someone has seen it! That would put some of the (No Mooners) out.

There are many many many reasons why you cannont see the flag. FIrst off next time you go to that astronomy professor ask him / her why you cant they will tell you. Simply, you cannont magnify with a clear enough resolution through the earths atmosphere and to have a scope that would be able to collect enough light to see soemthing so small would have to be extreemly huge.
