Atmosphere on the Moon: Apollo 14 Flag

Take a look at about 22m of this Apollo 14 footage.  No atmosphere my arse!

Nice find Pimander !

The flag certainly appears to be blowing around in the  atmosphere ! 

Or somewhere where ever it may have been filmed.

I attended an event 2 weeks ago where Marcus Allen did a presentation of a series of excellent photos from the Apollo landings of which he certainly demonstrated that did not at all seem to make sense...

So many appeared to NOT logical and MANY had been similar backgrounds that were not in the position that they should had been relative to other photos..

So far it has made me REALLY Question their validity..and at the moment Id say that I have been persuaded that it has ALL appears to have been Faked.. and that quite possibly EVERY single Apollo landing NEVER TOOK PLACE !

He commented on one of the Television Programs "Mythbusters", that claimed to have proven that the shadows and waving Flag appeared to proven genuine after their analysis..

But he suggested that they worked in Favor of NASA's coverup.

That's providing that what he demonstrated had not been manipulated..

At one point the flag is still, then it starts to move.  There is only one explanation that I know of for that.  I have heard some nonsense explanations but the only one that makes sense is that the footage was filmed where there was atmosphere.

At one point the flag is still, then it starts to move.

And nobody was touching the flag pole?

If there was any atmosphere, why would it affect only the flag and not the dust we can see being thrown around by the astronaut's feet?

[Pimander]

There is an atmosphere on the Moon.  Why wouldn't it have one?  There's more of one on Earth.

I'll re-watch it later and give you a time but that's the way I saw it.

ETA: Remind me if I forget and you remember.  I'll bookmark this post.

The flag is waving. I couldn't conclude why....

I'm sure a NASA spokes person made a public comment about the occurrence...Space 'Static' he said..

(Can't find a link for the above theory)

But I did find this from NASA:

Pictures of Apollo astronauts erecting a US flag on the Moon show the flag bending and rippling. How can that be? After all, there's no breeze on the Moon....Not every waving flag needs a breeze -- at least not in space. When astronauts were planting the flagpole they rotated it back and forth to better penetrate the lunar soil (anyone who's set a blunt tent-post will know how this works). So of course the flag waved! Unfurling a piece of rolled-up cloth with stored angular momentum will naturally result in waves and ripples -- no breeze required!
