ive actually heard that the whole moon landing thing was just a big conspiracy. From what i hear there is some "evidence" showing the flag waving on the moon, and its not supposed to, because there is no air on the moon, also there is the camera angle when approaching the moon, its shown from outside the ship. Im not saying i believe this, its just what ive heard.
well the flag waving bit has been pretty much debunked to death. The fabric of the flag was moving back and forth because the astronaut was twisting the flagpole back and forth as he pushed it into the lunar soil. Check out badastonomy .com or even snopes.
I am not familiar with the shot of the spacecraft approaching the moon, that you are talking about, but don’t forget that the lunar module separated from the command module and descended to the lunar surface. One astronaut remained onboard the CM while the other two rode the LM down to the surface. Perhaps this shot you are talking about is from that sequence.
