This is a little off topic, but I found an article about the “moon landing hoax”, and though I am a believer of the moon landing, I found something that may be interesting. Many make the claim that the moon landing is a hoax partly because they have seen the US flag “waving”, even though there is no atmosphere or wind on the moon. Now here’s the question: Did the US government explain this to be the effect of “lunar winds” or not? According to this article: http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2001/ast23feb_2.htm it is from the twisting and turning of the pole- which completely explains it in my opinion. However, if the government did initially claim it to be from lunar wind, then why did they? Couldn’t they have just explained it was from the twisting and turning of the flag pole?

Sorry if this is off topic, but I thought it would be interesting! It was just a small article I stumbled across and thought others may appreciate it as well.
