well thats simple... it wasnt.

More gems from MrBubbles...he's like the goose that lays golden eggs!

@ Oyvoy: That's at least plausible, though I tend to prefer a source that's better than the interweb, where as MrBubbles has shown you can say anything you want.

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Why wouldn't it wave?

I mean it's basically a piece of cloth tied to a pole at near zero gravity.

It would be near impossible to get it to stay still at first

I mean try an expierment.  Hold a piece of paper in your left hand thats somewhat folded.  Now unfold it.

Notice in goes to the left.... then goes back to the right until it finally rests at the middle.

Now picture this in space.  Where there is little atomosphere... little gravity... and much less resistance.

In otherwords.  The flags waving and moving takes up less energy and force... so it takes much longer for it to settle down from the simple act of unfurling the flag and getting the flagpole in the ground.

So it has to go back and forth a few times before it finds a "resting" place.

Just how if you pushed off a wall you would continue for much farther then if you pushed off a wall here.

i didnt see any proof from you that it was waving.  of course, since it wasnt, you cant provide any.  dont be a hypocrite.

That's simple, there is no air on the moon, so when they dug it b spinning it, there was less air friction, causing it to keep on spinning so it looked like it was waving. Duh. Mythbusters did a whole thing on it.



What I want to know about the moon landing is, if this guy was the first on the moon, then who took this picture?

@Wiped. From the angle its shooting at that looks like a camera attached to the actual lander. (ie. nobody 'took' the picture, the camera was set up on earth and took the picture automatically)



@Rath- One question with that theory. How does a 1969 camera (so not small) survive space travel? It would have been melted to a blob on exiting the earth's atmosphere, not to mention pressure changes that would have smashed it to bits...

They could of attached it after they landed?

The lunar lander didn't leave the Earth's atmosphere. It was attached to a much larger machine, which separated over the course of the trip. It would've easily survived the trip.



exiting the earth atmosphere doesn't melt things, that's only when you re-enter the atmosphere.
