Apollo Moon Landing Flags Still Standing, Photos Reveal




Now, lunar scientists say the verdict is in from the latest photos of the moon taken by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC): Most do, in fact, still stand.

"From the LROC images it is now certain that the American flags are still standing and casting shadows at all of the sites, except Apollo 11," LROC principal investigator Mark Robinson wrote in a recent blog post. "Astronaut Buzz Aldrin reported that the flag was blown over by the exhaust from the ascent engine during liftoff of Apollo 11, and it looks like he was correct!"

(flags are probably badly faded)

For all those folks who think the Apollo landings were fake — gee, I'm sure this photo will squash those Doubting Thomas', eh?

Well . . . 'maybe not.

Heck, this thing looks fake even to me!
