Moon Landing: What Flag & Part Was Used?

[Altune]

In regards to the Apolo moon walks, I don't discount they have been made. There of course would be a heat factor on their suits although I do not think as much as being on a planet that is absorbing all that radiation.

Like the Earth the moon is very nearly in thermal equilibrium. It radiates as much heat way as it receives from the sun. Do you really think that we are so ignorant of the moon as not to understand these things you mention? There were many unmanned lunar missions before the Apollo missions were started. Things like the temperature can be pretty well measured and understood from earth.

We were very lucky not to have lost any astronauts in space. But, it was not ALL luck, an incredible amount of work went into understanding the conditions we would encounter on the Apollo flights, we were prepared. We understood the conditions on the surface of the moon and in space between here and there.

As Tom Hanks said in "Apollo 13" - "We do have half the pHd's on the planet working on this..."

What gets me is the conspiracy theorists seem to think they pick up on little inconsistencies that a hundred thousand scientists and engineers missed in the creation of the "hoax." Yeah, right.

I understand now. We developed all the technology along the way. Maybe they should dig up those engineers for these expensive Mars missions and solar radiation experements that go kaput.

Altune. Read Titan by Stephen Baxtor. He had the same idea.
