Wrong. The stars were not bright enough to be picked up by the camera the astronauts used.

2) THAT THAR FLAG WUZ WAVIN', AND THUR AIN'T NO WIND UP ON THAT THAR CHEEZ HUNK!!!!!
The flag planted by the astronauts was supported by a tube in the top, so it would be visible. It waves in the footage because the astronaut who planted it caused it to bump.

There are more, but they are pretty inane and therefore not worth addressing. Who here believes the landings were faked, other than Pyri?
1. ever looked at the moon and seen stars around it? The reflection of the moon drowns out all the other stars around it. Probably the same thing on the surface of the moon.

2. Heres one I hear a lot. " I saw on one of the rocks the letters C16 were on it. It must be some sort of stage prop!.

guh?
Well, for the first one, thats exactly what I said (My responses are italicized)

The second one is simply an anomaly, not "labeled" C16,but just "C". And if you've seen it, it barely qualifies as a "C", certainly not something a props maker would do.
