I don't believe any of your posts, so your messages don't mean anything.
Indeed they are worthless. Luckily such idiocy remains in the single digits as a percentage of the population.

If you must, take the time to watch the video. Watch the dust kicked up by the astronaut's feet. Somehow, NASA faking this video went through the trouble to get dust to act only as if it were in a atmosphere-less low-gravity environment, but failed to fix the 'waving flag' issue. The simple matter of fact is, he has no idea how that flag began moving. In a moon environment, with a lack of air and therefore lack of air-resistance/friction, things continue moving for a while as according to Newton's first law.

What Scott fails to mention is that the flag remains dead-still for well over thirty minutes of footage, even when astronauts are moving around it.
