5. Proof that the landing was fake

I have seen people mention the fact that the American flag left behind was not hanging limp as it should have since there is no wind on the moon. Somehow they missed the fact that they kind of anticipated this and put a rod in the top part of the flag so it would be displayed.

The biggest problem I have with this and other conspiracy theories is that it would not be possible to keep something with this many conspirators secret. Richard Nixon was right when he said Watergate was "just a third rate burglary." But it was inevitable that somehow the truth was going to come out. So how could the hundreds or thousands of people it would have taken to fake the moon landing or 9/11 all kept silent over the years?

Yep. There was even a study showing how fast CTs would unravel. progressoid Jul 2016 #9
