Yep looks like a cheap special effects miniature.
Re the flag thing do the Americas now claim ownership of the moon?
How come no other country ie the Soviets went up there to check it out?
You'd think if the American's truly had been on the moon 35 years ago, there would by now be a:
- McDonald's restaurant
- 7 Eleven
- Starbucks
- Giant advertising Billboard seen from earth
- Moondominiums
etc. etc.
Proof that they have never made it. ;D

Being a born skeptic, I couldn't agree more. Too many people involved to have filmed it on Earth, somebody would have blabbed. Some of the astronauts have gone a bit loopy though and 'found God'.
L2R2R, if you're a born skeptic wouldn't it concern you that NASA hasn't been able to stop it's astronauts from being killed in the state of the art space shuttle (usually take-offs and re-entries are the problem) yet back in the dark days of technology they managed to get a tin can to the moon and back on four separate occasions without any loss of life?

Without being an expert I think there are engineering difficulties involved with the shuttle being a re-usable craft. If the US faked their space exploration, the Russians did also as they claimed to have sent a number of men into orbit. Both early space programs suffered casualties - three Russians were killed on re-entry and three Americans died in a fire on the launch pad.
Didn't Pink Floyd make it up there?
Listen carefully to the lyrics of Dark side of the Moon and Wish you were here.

Dark side of the Moon was Oz, not the moon :
It's funny how the perception of who's a skeptic has changed. In the past the people thinking it was all faked would be considered the gullible ones, now it seems to be the other way round.
Just watched a youtube video claiming to be able to spot the flashes from wires supporting astronauts, and demonstrating someone getting up from a prone the ground initially without moving any limbs as though supported by wires. The wire flashes were pretty interesting if true, although you never know what''s been done to video post-production. The guy rising without using his limbs leaves less room for tampering with the footage.
I hadn't paid much attention to all this, assuming basically the people claiming it was all faked were a bit loopy, but would be interested in looking at the evidence either way now.
If it is faked, one thing I'd like to know is why do it repeatedly? You'd think one 'trip' would be enough to stick it to the Russians, and the more times it was repeated the greater the risk of discovery.
It'll be interesting to see footage from a real landing and compare it to the old footage.

From the article cited by Disco:
"According to a 1999 Gallup poll, about 6 percent of the population of the United States has doubts that the Apollo astronauts walked on the Moon. (Five percent had no opinion, while 89 percent believed the landings took place.) It asked, "Thinking about space exploration, do you think the government staged or faked the Apollo Moon landing, or don't you feel that way?" Six percent of respondents answered "Yes, staged." Although, if taken literally, 6 percent translates into millions of individuals, Gallup said of this, "It is not unusual to find about that many people in the typical poll agreeing with almost any question that is asked of them, so the best interpretation is that this particular conspiracy theory is not widespread." A 1995 Time/CNN poll also found that 6 percent of the people believe in a hoax."
Quite content to be among the rational 89%.
