does the flag on the moon look right?

reply to post by nightmare_david


That's because he's rotating round his centre of gravity. His arms go down, his legs go up, but his centre of gravity is accelerating towards the ground at 1/6th the acceleration he'd experience on the ground, which means the effect is far more noticeable than when it happens on the Earth, due to our much higher gravity. Not to mention the lack of an atmosphere providing resistance to motion, not that it's great, but it all adds up to some freaky movement. If he was on wires, his arms would get in the way and you'd see some external, hitherto-unnoticed force affecting him - suddenly he'd jerk round or some other weird movement not caused by him interacting with the moon.

Armstrong was the first man on the moon??

But who was filming him coming down the ladder to take mans first steps onto the moon..he camera angle is from the moon...

you guys do see that the flag is clearly edited right?

it's like a 1/2 circle totally stuck in there, it's so obvious
