New OXM Rumor: Nintendo Xbox 2

Interesting, so i guess the "instant freezing" in space seen in many movies is all Hollywood crap...

Since when did Hollywood movies start showing anything scientifically genuine??

Well, i thought that thing was real

Wouldn´t the flag be frozen at those temperatures though?

No. Space might be cold, but things actually cools down very slowly in space because there is no atmosphere to absorb the heat. In fact, cooling things can actually be a big problem in space; the only way to get rid of excess energy is to radiate it away.

(maybe you could also use a heat pump to transfer the heat into something and then dump that object?)

Lol, I've been trying for years to convince some of my friends in this same thing! BTW In the process I came to the conclusion you'll have a real problem if exposed to the direct sun light (with no atmosphere in the way). It's just a guess though.

The flag wasn't in shadow, on the moon anything not in shadow is blistering hot.

Totally forgot about that.

So the flag wiggling due to the force that was used to stick in the ground, right? I feel kind of dumb now.

As for your last comment, the astronauts filmed the landing, so anyone who's seen any video knows what it looks like. Certain things were shown on film that would have been pretty hard to recreate if a hollywood movie couldn't, namely the near perfectly circular kick up of dust as the astronauts ran around (with certain foot-steps you could see a circular cloud of dust come up from their foot, and due to the low gravity it spent much more time "airborne" than would otherwise be possible on earth's heavier gravity).

Well, what I meant with my comment was something like "if no one has seen it, then a video of it happening, whether it was real or not, would be accepted anonimously if it was faked well enough".

Either way, thanks for clearing that up. I really should see the entire video, not just the fuzzy snippets of it in my memory.

Still, no one can´t deny that it´s a particularly sexy conspiracy theory.

Yeah it is a sexy conspiracy theory lol, but its annoying, some people just refuse to give the US any credit concerning our space endeavors...I liked when Buzz Aldrin punched that conspiracy theorist that got up in his face
