The Apollo Moon Landing Conspiracy Theory...Was the Moon Landing a Hoax?

This photo of Aldrin on the foot pad of the Lunar Module is often used to support the moon landing hoax theory. The claim is that an alternative light source was used to illuminate the astronaut, who should be dark, as he's in the shade.

However, the moon's surface is highly reflective. If you look at the moon in the night sky, you do get the impression it glows, yet it is the light of the sun which is reflected. It is the reflection of sunlight of the moon's surface which illuminates the astronaut in the shadow.

How can the flag be "waving" on the moon, where there is no wind?

When they rigged the flag's assembly they inserted a stiff wire into the fabric, as to not leaving the flag just hang flat against the pole. The waving effect was created by erecting the flag assembly and anchoring it in the ground.

Photos were taken on a diverse topography, meaning there were lots of dips and irregularities on the surface of the moon.

The contours of the ground produce various shadow lengths, as well as shadow angles.

It is widely believed that one cannot leave a pronounced footprint, like this one, without the presence of water. Moisture is required to give substance to the dirt and hold it together.

Try making a footprint in dry sand: The sand collapses on itself and only a very weak hint of a footprint is left.

This, however, depends entirely on the substance the footprint is being left on. If, for example, one would use talcum powder to leave a print, it would look similar to the one in the Photo. The surface dust on the moon is similar to talcum powder, in that it keeps it's shape without the presence of moisture, once stepped on.

This is a phenomenon atributable to photography: When taking a picture at night faint distant objects do not show up on the picture. This happens because the brightness of nearby objects washes out the film. In this case the reflective surface of the moon is too bright for the film to pick up any stars in the lunar sky.
