I just looked at the BAD ASTRONOMY site that dispells the hoax theory and this is why i dont believe this source to be reliable at all.
First, this is one man dispelling everything that over 50 people had said. he doesnt really sound like he knows what he is talking about. he is presenting things he calls proof, yet it just doesnt make sense. Physics doesnt lie. i think that people here have a pretty good sense of what the common effects of physics laws are. You drop something, it falls. Simple deduction. He is saying how the flag could have moved in a vaccuum by the pole having been manipulated before the pics was taken. Maybe thats why the flag kept blowing in different ripple patterns. Wavelength and its science tells different. I was a physics major in college and what he says isnt really true. I do in fact have to dispell a lot of what this man says is proof of how the hoax never happened. Remember, its really convenient for 1 man to be able to give EVERY reason why this couldnt be a hoax. He tries to dispell EVERY sinlge thing said. Sounds like hes trying really hard, no?
