[quote:Anonymous Coward 1382159:MV8xOTM5MjU4XzMyNDg0MzE4XzNGMTg2ODE4] Fifty plus years later and that is the best we can do? And after all the crap doctored photos pawned off as authentic we are supposed to believe this black thing is the shadow is from a flag? This is beyond pitiful. [/quote]
Original Message
An enduring question ever since the manned moon landings of the 1960s has been: Are the flags planted by the astronauts still standing?
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 blog post today (July 27). "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!"
