its quite impossible, especially with a network of tellescopes, to see something that small from this far away. especially factoring in the distortion of the earth's atmosphere. im really getting tired of people saying 'well lets just point hubble at the moon' maybe now its realised that cant be done, atleast by the kind explaination that was pulled up. and at any rate, if china ever makes it to the moon, they can tell us what we already know. but i dont think china is going to the moon, considering the usa was already told to never come back.

lets settle this like civilized people.
1.Known fact: there is no atmosphere on the moon, thus no wind...how do you explain the flag flapping in the wind?
2.multiple light sources...what up with that? The only light source on the moon is the sun. Yet there are many shadows going off in diffrent directions.NASA even said they have a limmited amount of time on the moon, bicouse the sun is only visible for like 30 min.(i think im wrong about this time frame, but you get the jist of it)
3.Radioactive field between the Earth and the moon.It would take a spacecraft made of 6 inches of lead to protect the austronauts. The design of the apolo space craft totaly condradicts this, the design of the space craft proves that there is NO LEAD in the space craft,anywhere.
4.The Landing. If the lander had the thrust that NASA said it did, it would have made a HUGE crater in the moon.As we all know the moon is basicly dust.Even if it dint have anywhere near that thrust level, there should have been a preaty big crater left from the thrust. ESPECIALY after takeoff from the moon.
5.A little history lesson.
The Soviet Union was about to launch their moon landing. Those plans DO show lead in their space craft. The United States would have been humiliated by the soviets landing on the moon. But on a test fire of the rocket engine,the rocket exploded and burned. It would have taken the Soviet Union up to a year to recover. (The lander and everything else that would have been needed for the landing was allready in the rocket when it exploded,)
So in this time frame the US quickly launched a 30 BILLION DOLLAR HOAX!
and SUPPOSEDLY, beat the Soviets to the moon.
Thus, NOBODY has EVER landed on the moon. (no humans anyway)
Thus, THERE IS NO AMERICAN FLAG ON THE MOON.

We actually did land on the far side of the moon, Apollo 18...two astronauts died on the surface...Claggett and I don't remember the second.
James Michener’s novelisation of the American space program, "Space", was made into a television mini-series of the same name in 1985. The novel and series culminate in the fictional Apollo 18 mission to the far side of the moon. Here Mission Commander Randy Claggett and Lunar Module Pilot Paul Linley die from a solar flare’s massive radiation dose while an attempting an emergency ascent from the lunar surface. ‘Apollo 18’ mission patches created for the mini-series became collectibles. However they also created confusion and resulted in some stories among the collector community about this mysterious ‘real’ mission ….
Not true. The Russian Lunakhod 1 mission left behind a laser reflector in 1970. The Lunakhod 2 mission left behind a laser reflector in 1973. The Lunakhod 2 continues to function to this day.
