I had an interesting and random thought and wanted to run it by you guys. Putting aside all of the "the moon landing was a hoax" type things lets consider something.

I see on a regular basis people asking why we can't see the flag on the moon with telescopes. My question is this, how do we know the flag is still standing? Its been just shy of 40 years since the flag was planted on the lunar surface. Think of the U.V. damage not to mention the temperature extremes.

Anybody have any thoughts on this theory?

Wow almost 24 hours later and no response

I figured somebody would have 2 cents to toss in.
