With today's technology you would think someone could take a picture of the exact spot that they landed and planted the flag. Wouldn't that still be there???

Nasa just recently released HD photos taken by a new Moon orbitor that shows the landing sites. There's something there.
I do not believe it was a hoax.
You youngin's who weren't alive then seem to forget that the country was mired in Vietnam, we were in the middle of the Cold War with Russia and the economy was not solid.
NASA had a certain number of rockets to use. Nixon cut funding so the last of the rockets were used for Skylab and the Apollo/Soyuz mission.
I can appreciate the thinking that it was a hoax, but even as evil as our government can be, I doubt this could be kept a secret.
As for 9/11, it was the Garden Gnomes...they are out to get us.

It was blown over when the Lunar Module lifted off to return to Earth. As I recall you can see it being blown over in the video footage, and I've read that subsequent moon missions implanted the flag farther from the landing site so it wouldn't be blown over.

FIRE DOESN'T MELT STEEL! < /Rosie O'Donnell >
(Never mind that fire doesn't have to melt steel for a structure to fail...it just has to get it to the plastic state, which is only about 900 degrees F!)

Too bad they just didn't hijack Rosie instead.

I have a friend whose father was a tool and die maker with a company that was a subcontractor for the space program. I remember my friend describing his father (a stolid, gruff, old-world Pole) practically weeping with joy as he watched the Saturn V liftoffs on TV.
(My friend said the only other time he saw his father so emotional was when Karol Wojtula was elected Pope John Paul II.)

Does anyone else think it was a hoax?
I am not even a conspiracy theorist or anything of the sort, but something has always sat wrong with me and the lunar landing.
I have wondered why only 6 missions have went to the Moon and why we have not went since the early 70's. Individuals have said that it's because NASA is broke and they are planning to cancel the program. I think that is B.S. -- NASA if in financial trouble, has not always been in trouble.
I also feel that all research that can be done from Earth is great, but Scientists naturally want to get more hands on, especially via the Moon's surface. I'm sorry to rant, but I got to thinking about it and I think it's just another B.S. story by the Government and it's too late for them to admit it, otherwise they would lose credibility.
Discuss?
P.S. If you plan to participate, please don't flame anyone. It's just a discussion, nothing to get mad about. :-)
I watched it on TV; therefore it must be true

+1 on the mythbusters episode. They did a pretty good job debunking some of the conspiracy theories.

My favorite conspiracy is the
Denver Airport. As for the moon I have no reason to doubt we went there; I do find it interesting how often anomalies show up in NASA footage.
There's a link somewhere of (I think) Neil Armstrong socking a guy in the mouth for implying that he's a liar. Pretty funny.
Edit: It was
Buzz Aldrin.
