Incredible detail available (3000 x 3000 pixels): http://web.archive.org/web/20010427190033/http://grin.hq.nasa.gov/ABSTRACTS/GPN-2000-001140.html

NASA removed this page, or moved it, but it is archived.

I bet they removed the photo, because you shouldn't be able to see the flag and "UNITED STATES" in the dark shadow under the lander.

The shadow is so dark that you cannot see light reflecting off of the gold reflective foil surrounding the US flag and text.

It's inexplicable for NASA. Literally. Weird, right?

But... I can explain it.

You are trying so hard to find anything so you can say it is a hoax, but you can't give a compelling motive. Look at the image with the highest resolution. You can see that the door has dropped down and the gold is on the moon's surface. When they opened that side door, it revealed the flag on the inside, where gold foil would not be required. After the lunar module landed, the side piece appears to be lowered and functioning as a table. You can see the gold foil bunched up, not around the flag, but below it.

Another logical fallacy. I don't need the motive to prove it's fake.

Also, you can see that they backed the rover into it position indoor of the fake backdrop. There aren't any tracks behind it. Because it's a backdrop.

You did neither: you didn't give a compelling motive nor prove it's fake. You haven't proved anything. You are throwing around weak ideas and spreading rumors.

Since you are accusing thousands of people involved in the space program of lying about their missions to the moon, you should get your evidence in order to make sure you are right, because it is a sin to give a false testimony. If you confess your sins, God is faithful to forgive you your sins. Here, I will give you a large source of photos, videos, and audio recordings, and you can look through them all you want to look for that secret backdrop.

I don't need to prove a motive, and it doesn't need to be compelling.

The photos are perfectly focused on staged scenes. They illuminated the flag in the dark. No stars in space, cause it's in a studio.

I don't care why they faked it.

What matters is they faked it. They murdered Gus Grissom to cover it up.

If you are wrong, you are guilty of accusing thousands of people of being liars. You should care.

I'm not wrong.
