Yes, this is for real. The mind boggles. (See The
Independent)

apologies for poor quality...)
  This
is not unique. I think the same mentality still prevails at the US INS
(Immigration and Naturalisation Services). Although, to be fair to them,
they haven't pestered/detained me as has happened multiple times at Heathrow...
When I went to New Zealand in January 2001 I visited the Antarctica centre
in Christ Church. Virtually all flights to Antarctica leave from Christ
Church, and a few years ago Bill Clinton opened a glitzy departure-lounge
across the road from the quaintly bijou international terminal. In itself,
this lounge is hilarious. It looks identical to any generic airport check-in
desk & waiting area; and then, beyond the rusty iron door of the departure
gate are hangars full of rough and ready scientific equipment. The people
going there are not retired holiday makers... Anyway, they also have to
fill in forms. Here's one:
And finally, something the paranoid / conspiracy
theorists out there... [Echoes of Capricorn 1?]

The famous pic of Neil Armstrong planting
the U.S. flag on the “moon's” surface.
What’s wrong with this picture? As claimed by NASA, the astronauts
did not take lighting equipment with them. Therefore, the only source
of light on the moon was the sun. The various arrows on the picture
indicate the various directions in which the shadows are falling.
Just how many suns are there around the moon's vicinity?

Footprint of Buzz Aldrin.
Again, the various arrows indicate the various directions of shadows
falling. Meaning there were more than one sources of light as in
a studio. Futhermore, if the gravitational force on the moon is
1/6th of that on earth, even a 500lb man will not engrave a footprint
this deep and clearly mark the pattern os his show sole on the moon's
surface.

A heroic photograph.
There is no atmosphere on the moon, therefore, no winds. Then how
is it that the U.S. flag is clearly waving in both these pictures?

The lunar lander behind the mysteriously waving
U.S. flag has a landing mechanism that forces 25,000 pounds of upward
thrust. They landed successfully, and then took off with the same
amount of force when done. It just seems a little odd that when such
a massive force of heat and pressure is generated directly against
the moon's surface, no crater of any sort is formed beneath the lunar
lander. But yet, above, the footprint of a 180lb man is so nicely
engraved on the moon's surface. |

Just way too many things wrong with this picture
- no stars in the sky
- If you looked in Armstrong's visor, you will see the reflection
of the person taking the photo. Taking a look at his own shadow.
It would make sense to think that the sun would be directly behind
Armstrong (the main focus guy, not the reflection guy). Then how
come it also appears that Armstrong's body is receiving light
from his right side as well? Notice how his right shoulder is
so much brighter in light than his left.
- The object marked with a C is the camera that was placed on
the chests of all astronauts. If this pictures really was taken
by the guy whose reflection we see in the visor, then that person
would have to be approximately 7-7½ feet tall. Which none
of the Apollo crew members were. It couldn't be that the camera
was pointed upwards for this picture because if you looked at
the background, it is obvious that the photo is taken on a declining
angle (i.e. from an elevated position), and the reflection of
the person who supposedly took the photo shows that he is standing
perfectly straight and not on any sort of elevation such as a
hill or a rock.

The lighting from the studio was NASA’s biggest
giveaway of a hoax. Armstrong and Aldrin are pretty much of the same
height. So then why is it that Aldrin’s shadow is almost twice
the size of Armstrong's?

Here’s a cool picture of the astronaut getting off the Lunar
lander. Even here on earth, when something/someone is in a shadow,
it is barely visible. On the moon however, there are no air molecules,
which would mean that anything in a shadow would be pitch black.
Buy yet, in this picture, even though the man is clearly within
the Lunar lander's shadow, he is so nicely lit up that even his
butt crease is visible!
P.S. no stars in the sky nor is there a minute sign of a crater
beneath the lander.

Anyway... even if the Americans landed on the moon and planted
the flag on it, and believe that it is still there, then their belief
is as useless as this hoax. The flag was planted 10 feet from the lander.
The takeoff from the moon should have fried it up even before they got
out of visibility range of the flag, but yet the astronauts claim the
last glimpse they saw of the moon right after take off was of their glorious
flag on the moon's surface.
