Or, so you think. Yet, you provide no evidence, nor any sources, that say this. On the other hand, I did provide a source, one that says the Van Allen belt would not have been a problem.

you don't see? When the top of the lander de-ataches from the bottom, sparks fly and a flame is emitted that sends it upword. It should NOT have had a flame. film? well, the robotic cameras on mars were about 10X more sophisticated than these cameras. The cameras on mars, sent the pictures digitally back to the earth. However, at the time, like I stated, the computers had 32kilobytes of memory. The average picture is a few THOUSAND kilobytes. There's NO way they could have digitally sent them to mission control with their primitive technology. Therefore, someone would have had to bring the film back home. And since the camera was left there, there's no way that could have happened!

Well, we have been to the Moon six times, they could always have picked up the film then.

okay, so it's a possibility the flag isn't waving in the wind. It sure looks like to me! Why isn't the dust moving? Becuase the wind isn't strong enough. Here's an analogy. Have you ever been on a beach and seen a sailboat go by? Well, the sailboat's sail (resembling the flag in this case) is catching the wind an moving. However, the sand your sitting on isn't blowing all over the place is it? NO, because the canvas is catching the wind, and the sand (or dust) isn't. It's that simple.
|
The dust is lighter than the flag, and lighter than sand. As for your analogy, the wind is stronger over the ocean, although you do have a point in saying that the sail has more surface area and catches the wind better.
But all that's really irrelevant anyway, as there was no wind. The flag was moving because the pole holding the flag was moving. I could wave a flag indoors, with no wind, and it would move.

true, however, I have used google earth to zoom in far enough that I could see my house. I could even see my dads car in our driveway. So, if I could see stuff on google earth, why not on google moon?
|
Because, like I said, Google Moon does not have images at that zoom level. Try it for yourself. The closest you can zoom in provides very little detail of the surface of the Moon, and any small objects on it would be impossible to see. Also, it's not like Google has satellites constantly pointed at the Moon that take pictures every now and then, or while you're using it.
