For those who believe the lunar program was a hoax - which some polls show is over 50% of the American public (sigh) - look at the space around the Earth in this photograph. Do you see any stars??? According to hoax "theorists", this proves that this image is a fake. But wait! That ignores exposure time. Anyone who has owned a manual camera knows that a photo taken in sunlight requires an exposure time around 1/1000th of a second. And anyone who has ever tried to photograph the stars knows that it requires a time exposure of many minutes or all you get is....... black sky! The subjects in this photo, the lunar surface and the Earth, are certainly being lit by the sun. (Oh, and the flag moves because an astronaut wiggles the pole and steps out of the frame, which is plain to see by watching the entire video clip, easily available from NASA.)
