Google Moon confirms Faked Apollo 11 mission
Posted by adm in

Wednesday, September 19. 2007
Google recently added a new feature to Google moon: Google Moon Street View.
I was looking at some of the great shots provided that were captured during the supposed Apollo mission and noticed something strange.
I have never investigated conspiracy theories, but as most have I've heard the speculation about the US Gov't. faking the Apollo landing. One of the most widely known articles of "proof" is the waving US flag. We all know that there is no wind on the moon because someone stole the atmosphere (presumably Scientologists), but During the Apollo 11 flag setup ceremony, the flag would not stop fluttering.
Now this isn't news. And it's not even really what interested me.
What caught my eye as I was taking a close-up look at the flag, it appeared that the "waving" may have been caused by the angle of the pole. It appears that it's not quite perpendicular to the surface. If you look closely, it seems like the top of the flag, or the rod, isn't perfectly horizontal. One would assume that this is a possible cause for the waving, possibly in conjunction with the movement created while the astronauts were placing the flag in the first place.
But, upon closer inspection (read: zoom), there is what appears to be an abomination of the laws of the universe. Zooming in on the flagpole itself reveals something that is inexplicable: the pole is in two separate pieces. There appears to be a joint where the pole breaks down presumably for easier transport. Though, amazingly, the joint is completely unattached.
It appears, to me at least, that the top of the flagpole is floating in midair. Try as I might, I could not see any sort of material that may be holding the 2 sections together. Nor could I see a shadow of an astronaut that may have been holding the flag, and maybe cropped out after the fact.
Now I'm sure there is some type of explanation for this anomaly (probably tucked away in Dianetics somewhere, but no fucking way am I reading that shit without getting my Thetans in order first). If anyone has any idea what this may be, please post a comment and releive my anxiety.

I don't know where you got this picture but I watched a show on the History channel a while ago that disproved every idea that conspirators put against them so from what I know and ahve seen it was all true
Pics are from Google Moon. They have a Street View type application available now. Just zoomed in on the flag and took screenshots.
Explanation: several shots are used to make this panorama QuickTime VR. Zooming in that part of the panorama reveals only one thing: perfect stitching is very difficult. Best results with specialy made shots.
The two shots used were taken without tripod (skylines are not same place and orientation) and the lens of the camera pointing to the Lunar soil + wide angle lens = different angles for the pole.
All the shots are on line.

You must see all the other shots (several hundreds) to have an opinion about making such shots on Earth or on Moon.
