    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&#039;ve heard the speculation about the US Gov&#039;t. faking the Apollo landing. One of the most widely known articles of &quot;proof&quot; 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&#039;t news. And it&#039;s not even really what interested me.&lt;a  class=&#039;serendipity_image_link&#039; rel=&#039;lightbox&#039;  rel=&#039;lightbox&#039; href=&#039;http://acousticdeathmetal.com/uploads/POSTS/apollo1.gif&#039;&gt;&lt;!-- s9ymdb:12 --&gt;&lt;img width=&#039;110&#039; height=&#039;100&#039; style=&quot;float: right; border: 0px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;&quot; src=&quot;http://acousticdeathmetal.com/uploads/POSTS/apollo1.serendipityThumb.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  What caught my eye as I was taking a close-up look at the flag, it appeared that the &quot;waving&quot; may have been caused by the angle of the pole. It appears that it&#039;s not quite perpendicular to the surface. If you look closely, it seems like the top of the flag, or the rod, isn&#039;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

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. &lt;a  class=&#039;serendipity_image_link&#039; rel=&#039;lightbox&#039;  rel=&#039;lightbox&#039; href=&#039;http://acousticdeathmetal.com/uploads/POSTS/apollo2.gif&#039;&gt;&lt;!-- s9ymdb:13 --&gt;&lt;img width=&#039;110&#039; height=&#039;100&#039; style=&quot;float: left; border: 0px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;&quot; src=&quot;http://acousticdeathmetal.com/uploads/POSTS/apollo2.serendipityThumb.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; 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&#039;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. 
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
