If no one has been to the Moon how did Pink Floyd come up with The Dark Side of the Moon? I read somewhere that if you have extremely powerful telescope you can actually see the American flag the astronauts planted on the Moon. The dune buggy they rode around on the Moon is still there too.

There are people who claim the Sun rotates around the earth. Kind of looks like it does lol. Flat earth is just crazy to me and I am suspicious of anyone who claims it is.

Regarding the moon, here's Harrison Schmitt of Apollo 17, did he forget to close his visor so he could breathe or what?
Pick him up at around 2:56-

Apollo 17 Ascent Trajectory
We consider two types of vessels to reproduce the scene and find that:
In conclusion, we find that the television broadcast most likely comprised a staged, scaled-down ascent, and not an actual LM ascent from the lunar surface.

We consider two types of vessels to reproduce the scene and find that:
- For the rocket with the same propulsion as Apollo, its Reactive Control System (RCS) has to be much quicker than that of Apollo, and the resulting Orbit Insertion trajectory cannot be performed with Apollo's guidance logic.
- A roller coaster, comprising a jet-propelled cart sliding along tracks, pitched so that they mimic the ascent trajectory, can be constructed that reproduces the broadcast perfectly.

If they really went to the Moon why is there nothing we can see that was left there ?

you cannot believe people could lie? wow.The problem I have with the "faked moon landings" theory is that I just can't believe all the 12 astronauts who walked on the moon were lying..
if i paid you a sickening sum of money and or threatened your family (if you have one), you would lie as well.

I'd simply anonymously leak the story to the media and nobody would know I was the whistleblower..

There are pics on the net allegedly taken by modern moon orbiters that show the stuff, but pics can easily be faked..

Anyway, here's the anser to my quiz question since none of you hotshots can answer it-
It's a bit of a trick question, because most people would think he could jump 6 x 7 feet (ie 42 feet) because the moon's gravity is one-sixth earths.
Arthur C. Clarke explains why he could only jump 30 feet-
