pepsi78,
If the flag is what convinced you then you are a lost cause...
All of your points have been debunked in this thread already, please go back and read it.
or do some light reading at this site...www.clavius.org...

get back to us with some new stuff

Here's the lunar module picture from Apollo 15, taken on the moon (so NASA says). [I finally learned how to put pictures in.] This is the thing that NASA says America flew to the moon. Can you imagine landing something draped in gold-foiled plastic, paper and cardboard? If this picture doesn't convince people that the moon landing was a fake, nothing will. The rocket thrust wouldn't blow the stuff away? (note: click on the link to see the tape. They had this stuff taped all over.)

Ah, ok, thanks for clearing this one up.
Well that's it, I guess. Nothing left to question. Unless resistance can think of something that we haven't already covered

There's also the matter of how they managed to land the lunar lander without all the cardboard and gold foil blowing off from the rocket thruster.

Does anybody seriously believe that anybody would consent to fly to the moon in one of those contraptions?

The shuttle spacemen had lifelines to their spacesuits. There's no way those coolpacks could keep the astronauts cool, warm, dry, and oxygenated for such a long time while they were doing all the things they did in 275 degrees in a vaccum (the perfect insulator).

Well I'm assuming the thrust needed was very light. The LEM is light compared to a rocket for example, possibly lighter than a car.. and the gravity on the moon is 1/6 earth.

Wow pepsi, glad you came along because this is all new to us, after over 30 pages we never even touched on any of those subjects...
Like you were told - engage brain and read - before you bless us with some of your 'revelations'. Then you might actually learn something - unless you consider yourself already at your intellectual peak.
Of course, if you prefer, you could not bother reading and learning and you could start a little group with Resistance, saving all us backward, evil Illumanti people from demons and the perils associated with intelligence and knowledge.

Debunked you say?
Going around the belt where the radiation is less in proportion does not debunk any thing.
The solar explosions(magnetic storm)made the belt over a 1000x times
stronger just calculate that , if the belt would not get them the storm would have got them.
Okay you would say okay so they got passed the belt and the storm didint get any of them but are we to belive that no simtoms what so ever no burns nothing not a single sign .
2 hours within the belt is inof to cause serios burns to the skin it would penetrate within any suit at that level of increasment.
So the problem is the efect of the storm on the belt and the storm it's self.
Further more i got the pics and i will put them up.
If the lem didint move how does the 2 pictures show in one the lem present and in the other one the lem is not present and of course none of the equpment is.
It just vanished huh?
Nasa said that the lem never moved so how do you explain that?
I tell you why cause the studio was small and they needed the extra pics the same site but with the lem missing.
I will put pictures up .
And that theory with the radiation belt of yours does not debunk any thing.
you see the problem is with the solar storm it makes the belt 1000X times stronger and really creates problems for the instruments.
Go read on a oficial gov page what the storm would do in such cases.

Pepsi.
since you also refuse to read i'll explain for you.
1. the flag looks like it "waving' because; a. it is still wrikled, b. the astronaughs wanted it look like it was waving so they didn't extend the barr straight, and twisted the pole to create a wave motion, c. because of the lower gravity the flag would not have hung straight as quickly as on earth, thus it holds it's "wavy" state when they let go.
2. I guess you buy the crosshair bit, cause you didn't rebut that. But it goes to show that you haven't done your homework, I suggest you read through the de-bunk sites before you form an opinion. you know, deny ignorance and all.
3. as for the radiation it's been gone through so much I don't even have the energy to do it again. But I'll say this, there are risks that you just take, for science and discovery, the risks were defenaatly high here, but not insurmoutable.
It's legendary (at NASA) because it happened during the Apollo program when astronauts were going back and forth to the Moon regularly. At the time, the crew of Apollo 16 had just returned to Earth in April while the crew of Apollo 17 was preparing for a moon-landing in December. Luckily, everyone was safely on Earth when the sun went haywire.
"A large sunspot appeared on August 2, 1972, and for the next 10 days it erupted again and again," recalls Hathaway. The spate of explosions caused, "a proton storm much worse than the one we've just experienced," adds Cucinotta. Researchers have been studying it ever since.
Cucinotta estimates that a moonwalker caught in the August 1972 storm might have absorbed 400 rem. Deadly? "Not necessarily," he says. A quick trip back to Earth for medical care could have saved the hypothetical astronaut's life.
Surely, though, no astronaut is going to walk around on the Moon when there's a giant sunspot threatening to explode. "They're going to stay inside their spaceship (or habitat)," says Cucinotta. An Apollo command module with its aluminum hull would have attenuated the 1972 storm from 400 rem to less than 35 rem at the astronaut's blood-forming organs. That's the difference between needing a bone marrow transplant … or just a headache pill.

Ok well I'm assuming you are talking about apollo 11.
Please find some links or something that shows the solar flare that happend during any of the lift off times on any apollo mission. (prefrebly good ones)
Also where do you get the 1000X from maybe I missed that if you posted it already.
here is a time line from apollo 11. history.nasa.gov...
it shows crew egress from the CM at 5:29 PM 24 July
then the crew wntered quarantine
then released from quarintine 10 Aug
so whats that 16 days? enough to recover from some minor burning on re-entery.

Okay let's get in to details.
For the radiation not to penetrate you would need 6 feet of led shielding acording to physicist Ralf Renay.
Acording to space physicist Geoffrey Reeves it will increase the belts radiation over a 1000 times above of what was before and also acording to him the 16 th mision ocured at the time of one of the suns most intense storms ever recorded, remember he is an expert he does this for a living records every thing it is his life in fact the storm was the bigest one of the 20 th century there is no way they would make it
also not to mention it went on for 3 or 4 days so it would afect them on their way to the moon and on their way home.
So can you imagine a 1000x increase and what does that mean?
It is imposible i'm not even talking about the other stuff when they could not even make it half way to the moon.

During the Apollo program, there were several near-misses between the astronauts walking on the surface of the Moon and a deadly solar storm event. The Apollo 12 astronauts walked on the Moon only a few short weeks after a major solar proton flare would have bathed the astronauts in a 100 rem blast of radiation. Another major flare that occurred half way between the Apollo 16 and Apollo 17 moonwalks would have had a much more deadly outcome had it arrived while astronauts were outside their spacecraft playing golf. Within a few minutes, the astronauts would have been killed on the spot with an incredible 7000 rem blast of radiation.
