People keep saying the moon landing footage looks fake because of the flag moving, but they're missing the real physics

The flag's movement comes from the momentum of planting it in the soil, not wind. I checked the NASA technical reports from 1969, and they explain the specific rod in the top seam that caused the rippling effect. What's a conspiracy detail you think gets explained away too easily?

The flag thing is a perfect example. People see motion and jump straight to wind. Never consider the simple mechanics of a pole being twisted into ground. Same with the "no stars" argument. Cameras weren't set for stars, they were set for bright lunar surface. Basic photography explains it. It gets tiring when the real answers are right there.

Check the flat earth crowd's math on that one, it's hilarious.

leo_adams has a point, their math never adds up. I just ask them to calculate the sunset for me using their flat model. The numbers always come out wrong. lewis.thea is right about the camera settings too, it's basic stuff. Why do they ignore the simple answers right in front of them?
