Explain what? The fact that the flag looks like it was bunched up in storage for a while and its wrinkles are overly pronounced, almost as if there's less gravity acting on it to make it drape smoothly?
Did you see any vedio/pic showing the guys walking slowly due to 1/6 of gravity?
1) When the astronauts are putting up the American flag it waves. There is no wind on the Moon.
2) No stars are visible in the pictures taken by the Apollo astronauts from the surface of the Moon.
3) No blast crater is visible in the pictures taken of the lunar landing module.
4) The landing module weighs 17 tons and yet sits on top of the sand making no impression. Next to it astronauts’ footprints can be seen in the sand.
5) The footprints in the fine lunar dust, with no moisture or atmosphere or strong gravity, are unexpectedly well preserved, as if made in wet sand.
6) When the landing module takes off from the Moon’s surface there is no visible flame from the rocket.
7) If you speed up the film of the astronauts walking on the Moon’s surface they look like they were filmed on Earth and slowed down.
8) The astronauts could not have survived the trip because of exposure to radiation from the Van Allen radiation belt.
9) The rocks brought back from the Moon are identical to rocks collected by scientific expeditions to Antarctica.
10) All six Moon landings happened during the Nixon administration. No other national leader has claimed to have landed astronauts on the Moon, despite 40 years of rapid technological development.
I was going to do a point-by-point address of these issues, but instead I'll just link to this site, which is one of many that systematically destroys any credibility this "hoax" would claim to have.
Do people seriously believe that a government incapable of covering up a break-in at a crappy hotel could somehow convince the *hundreds* of people needed to pull off this alleged conspiracy to stay completely silent for years? Give me a fata'ing break.

It would be thousands of people that would be in on it.

When you move something that is hanging from a bar is swings like a pendulum, no air needed.
2) No stars are visible in the pictures taken by the Apollo astronauts from the surface of the Moon.
No stars are visible as I look out the window of my office right now. Why because the sunlight obsucres them. With no atmosphere to difuse direct light from the sun even more, the effect is even greter on the moon.
3) No blast crater is visible in the pictures taken of the lunar landing module.
The pressure created by the rocket engine is actually relatively low (Large area * small pressure = large force) and rocket exhaust disperses almost immediatly after entering the vacuumm of space. No crater should be visible.
4) The landing module weighs 17 tons and yet sits on top of the sand making no impression. Next to it astronauts’ footprints can be seen in the sand.
When the astronauts are standing in their footprints you can't see them either. Let's go lift that up and see what kind of marks it made. Also, the thing was designed with feet large enough that the pressure it exerted on the ground would be very low.
5) The footprints in the fine lunar dust, with no moisture or atmosphere or strong gravity, are unexpectedly well preserved, as if made in wet sand.
Mythbusters showed this one to be a total falicy. Pluse try stepping in really fine dust some day, you can make a pretty good footprint no moisture needed.
6) When the landing module takes off from the Moon’s surface there is no visible flame from the rocket.
There is no visible flame when you burn methanol either, does that mean indy car drives fake it when they're on fire. Not all combustion produces visible flames. Hell, look at the main engines on the space shuttle, you can BARELY see flames coming from those suckers (not the boosters)
7) If you speed up the film of the astronauts walking on the Moon’s surface they look like they were filmed on Earth and slowed down.
Yeah, and if I speed up footage of a sloth, it looks like that sucker can go 100 mph. I guess all those sloth videos are a hoax as well.
8) The astronauts could not have survived the trip because of exposure to radiation from the Van Allen radiation belt.
Says who? Go ahead and show me some real scientific data for that because I've seen a lot of physicists who i believe are a lot more qualified than you are, say the exact opposite.
9) The rocks brought back from the Moon are identical to rocks collected by scientific expeditions to Antarctica.
Similarites in the rocks that came from the moon, and those on earth is what lead to the theory that the moon was created by a collision with earth.
10) All six Moon landings happened during the Nixon administration. No other national leader has claimed to have landed astronauts on the Moon, despite 40 years of rapid technological development.
Okay, now that it's taken me all of 10 minutes to ruin all of your "Arguements" with some simple logic, and knowledge, you can go back to your random speculation and jumping to conclusions.

I can think of one way that could keep them silent, not only for years, but for eternity.

Well if you believe the Watergate actually exists and is not a creation of our national government in order to cover up all the other conspiracies I don't know what to tell you.
Why are conspiracy theorists even worried about this kind of stuff if the world is going to end in 3 years anyway?
The thing that gets me about the lunar lander conspiracy theories is that they assume not only that it was faked, but that the people who faked it were complete morons. The 'no stars in the sky' argument for example: if you were going to fake a moon landing, would you go through this effort of constructing a huge set with a black backdrop, and then not put stars in the backdrop? Would you somehow decide to film it somewhere that was windy? Would you use wet white sand, when no water exists on the moon? Would you allow multiple light sources? The fact that there are so many supposed problems with the apollo footage is one of the better arguments that it did actually happen: all the photos and video tell us a lot about how the moon actually is, rather than what everyone expected it to be like.

I am just curious: Am I the only guy believe it is fake at CP? All you guys are either scientists or super smart people?
It's called critical thinking. Most of us aren't super smart or scientists. But don't worry, a couple of guys will show up to carry this torch with you.

CP is run over computers, every computer mainframe, satellite, laptop, and supermarket scanner in the world combine to make up the Global conspiracy known as...The Beast.

It doesn't take a super smart scientist to see this moon landing hoax theory for the junk it is, just the slightest bit of common sense and rational thought will do.

Holy, crap, I figured I'd read a lot of those arguments before, and just for kicks I wikipediaed "Moon landing Hoax" and all of GlenFlame's arguments are pretty much lifted word for word from wikipedia.
Not only is he crazy, he's either lazy, or completely uncreative too.
