An alternate theory about the Apollo 11 flag goes as follows: After the flag blew over during Apollo 11's departure from the surface, the flags for the Apollo 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17 missions were planted farther away from the lunar module and remained standing after the astronauts left. Those flags were almost certainly bleached out by the sun. With the Apollo 11 flag, however, it is possible that the same rocket exhaust that blew the flag over may have also covered it in lunar dust. If enough dust covered the flag to block most of sunlight, it's possible that the buried flag is the last one retaining it's original colors.

[@stevethecountrycook1227]

sounds very possible!

[@OliverTheSpaceNerd]

Later Apollo missions did plant the flag farther away to avoid what happened on Apollo 11. Great theory about the dust! I never thought about that!

How many pairs of spacesuit boot overlays still remain on the lunar surface

[@johnrathbun2943]

When the lunar capsule left the moon, it was on top of another rocket which stayed. It had the fuel for landing. So if the capsule took off, the exaust wouldn't have kicked up dust because the exaust would have hit the capsule that got left on the moon. Now about it being knocked over by the re-directed exaust I can't say because I don't know exactly how far away it was from the take off platform. But I assume that because there is less gravity and no atmosphere to speak of on the moon than there would be less resistance to slow down the exaust from the capsule.

Great job! Thanks from Russia. Everything related to the Apollo 11 flight is very close to me. In the 80s and 90s, I was very interested in the history of the development of the space programs of the USA and the USSR. In my collection there are articles from Soviet newspapers of the 60s and 70s about the flights of the ''Mercury'', ''Gemini'' and ''Apollo'' spacecraft, detailed from launch to landing. By the way, all the articles are very friendly and respectful. In 1994 I decided to write a letter to Neil Armstrong about my hobby and to my joy he personally replied to me by sending an autographed photo. Now it is our family heirloom, as well as letters from John Glenn and John Young - pioneers of space exploration. Good luck to everyone.

WTF are you talking about, 1 russian died because of to pure oxygen did the Russians tell Americans NO that's why NASA lost 3 in fire inside capsule. No importaint life saving information was ever past between them. They were in a SPACE RACE ever heard that saying, the pilots might of had respect for each other but NASA was in a major competition with Russians they beat Americans in everything but the landing on the moon, why do you think so many Americans don't believe they landed on the moon when they claimed. First satellite in space: Russians First animal in space: dog Russians First man in space: Russians First man to return from space: Russians First space walk: Russians First women in space: Russians First lost woman in space: Russians First object on the moon: Russians First man on moon: Americans????? So why did I put question marks? Simple reely America couldn't get any rockets of the pad with out them blowing up, don't get me wrong Russia had many issues at the start too. America couldn't get any Apollo rockets off the ground without them blowing up, then all of a sudden they are working perfectly and they are sending men to the moon in only short months later, OK maybe it was a glitch a easy fix but as so many have pointed out it seems very strange that the hardest task was done by America after so many issues and it went perfectly, well not really see NASA lost tapes on returning to earth these tapes were damaged when travelling through the radiation belt, also by radiation on the moon basically ruining the footage so they fixed it, but how they never went back to the moon at that point in time so how do you recover film on the moon. They FAKED IT, oh I'm not talking about the moon landing, they got a movie set and retook the photos they had lost as well as some film they'd lost. Now back when this happened you probably get shot for telling this, but it came out in the mid 80s, the smart people started to question and think well if they faked it to reposes the picture and film why couldn't they of faked the whole lot. Because of people coming up with that conclusion NASA went quiet again and its extremely hard to find evidence of what they did, hard but not impossible just need to know were to look. But as far as friendship between NASA and Russian's in space race, it never happened until 1980s when they built the space station

The bastards not only doubled their Taxi Fare rate to the ISS after President Odumbass canned the Shuttle Program w/o first having a viable replacement vehicle, they were also several years behind schedule in delivering their ISS modules. All the Russians have ever “done” for us is cost us more money, headaches, and more problems. About the only thing the Russians have done right is NOT killing any of our Astronauts; yes, we’ve lost our share, but not in the horrific ways they have because of their stupidity. Even some of our Astronauts have passed on an ISS mission because they’d have to take a Russian vehicle both ways. “Competitive”?? I Don’t THINK SO. “Respect”? 100% Pure Propaganda. Why?

The black & white TV camera was stowed on the descent stage in what we called the Modular Equipment Stowage Assembly (MESA). The crew could deploy the MESA prior to going down the ladder, so the TV could record Neil's first steps. The rock boxes were also stowed on the MESA, along with many tools to be used during the EVA. The Portable Life Support Sytem (PLSS) worn during the EVA's were discarded to make room inside the LM for the rock boxes to be brought back to earth. The Astronauts were not messy - every item left on the moon was pre-planned to ensure a safe liftoff in the LM ascent stage - every pound left on the moon gave us a little more run time for the LM ascent rocket engine.

True about the UV. But there is no atmosphere, so no oxidation or micro-organisms to break down the fibres. There are LRO photos of the sites, where you can see the shadow from the flag move from one photo to another due to the angle of the sun changing. Here is a quote about what LRO found: "From the LROC images it is now certain that the American flags are still standing and casting shadows at all of the sites, except Apollo 11. Astronaut Buzz Aldrin reported that the flag was blown over by the exhaust from the ascent engine during liftoff of Apollo 11, and it looks like he was correct!" End of quote.

It’s so cool that this vid was released during the 50 year anniversary of the Apollo 17 lunar stay. For those who don’t know, Apollo 17 was the final human mission to the moon. It carried former Navy fighter pilot Eugene Cernan and Geologist Harrison “Jack” Schmitt (the only geologist to walk on the moon.) The last human being to set foot on the moon was Gene Cernan on Dec 13, 1972 and the LM “Challanger” lifted off the moon on Dec 14 to rejoin Ronald Evans in the CM “America”. There’s a pretty cool video of the liftoff as seen by the Rover camera that I highly recommend you watch if you haven’t already seen. They left a plaque on the Descent Stage similar to the one on Apollo 11. The one on 17 says: “Here Man completed his first explorations of the Moon. December 1972 A.D. May the spirit of peace in which we came be reflected in the lives of all mankind.” The last words spoken on the moon by Gene Cernan were “And as we leave the moon at Taurus-Littrow, we leave as we came... and God willing as we shall return... with Peace, and Hope, for all mankind.”

Armstrong dropped the jett bag to the surface, before even making the historic first step. ironically, the very first photograph that Neil Armstrong took on the moon featured the garbage bag prominently in the foreground. It’s unclear why Neil Armstrong caught the garbage bag on his Hasselblad camera, but it might have been a test picture of some sort.

Michael, I worked for a year to get Rockwell to install handrails on both the LM and the Command Module, just to do what you mention - i.e. to go around outside in case the docking mechanisms, which must be removed from the tunnel to permit the crew to crawl back to the CSM from the LM, were damaged and could not be removed from the tunnel. We learned on Gemini that handrails were the simplest and most efficient way of manually controlling yourself during EVA. Since the Apollo spacecrafts were being designed and built during the Gemini program, their design was complete, and we had to convince every Apollo subsystem manager that our handrails wouldn't damage his system ! The first unmanned Apollo mission in earth orbit ended with the handrails on the command module re-entering in perfect shape, much to the approval of the swimmers in the water, who now had rails to hold onto when they swam up the the spacecraft to assist the crew in their exit. We tested them with the crew on Apollo 9 in earth orbit, and thankfully never had to use the in lunar orbit, since the docking hardware, a probe and a drogue, were easily removed by the crew on each of the 6 missions in which the LM and CSM docked in lunar orbit.

[@alanm8932]

A fascinating insight. It's amazing that these days we can be getting input from a person with such first hand knowledge. I'd never realised there was the option to go around the outside! I hadn't even put together the fact that both craft had two hatches.

[@MichaelSlivkoff]

The original idea was that the forward hatch would also be for docking too. Then the LM as the "active" spacecraft during rendezvous would just fly straight up to the CM and dock. If there was an issue, they could use the top hatch. But those docking adapters take up weight and it was decided to just make the forward hatch strictly for EVA.@@alanm8932

I followed the Gemini and Apollo missions with avid interest, together with my dad when I was a kid. At age 8, I had read and studied the Apollo Lunar mission profile and also read lots of material on orbital mechanics and rocketry, so was able to explain it to the class when my science teacher asked, and was also proud to answer my dad's questions on the planned lunar voyages, how orbits work, etc. To me, that was a wonderful way to reciprocate my dad's kindness, care and patience in answering my endless questions about different kinds of engines and tools long before I reached the age of 8 years. I also went to view lunar rock samples that were put on exhibit after the return of the Apollo 11 astronauts. I would love to see, or even participate in, a trip to the Moon perhaps on SpaceX's Starship (currently under development), to land on a spot far enough from the Apollo 11 site -- to avoid damage to the site by rocket blast throwing up regolith during landing and launch -- then driving to the Apollo 11 landing site on a rover to view and film, but not touch, the artifacts left there so long ago. I would also be very honored to take an American flag with me to replace without touching (out of respect) the one knocked down by engine blast during departure of Apollo 11 ascent stage.

They also left their Hasselblad camera bodies on the surface. (They of course took the film packs with them) They left behind whatever was not needed, to reduce their take off weight as the launch from the moon was pure theory and the last thing they needed was an over weight problem. The launch from the moon though went very well.

[@TexMex421]

Agreed... mostly. The first Apollo launch from the moon was the first manned launch from the moon, but Surveyor 6 was the fist launch from the moon overall. (unless you count Surveyor 3 which sort of bounce launched twice unintentionally.) But in many ways Apollo 11 was not a launch, it was stage separation, which they had practiced twice before with he LM. Once in Earth orbit (Apollo 9), and once in lunar orbit, (Apollo 10). Without an atmosphere, launching from the surface is not much different from stage separation in space.

[@rockethead7]

I think one complete Hasselblad came home. If I recall, it was from Apollo 14. But, don't quote me on that. They did NOT bring home all film rolls. Conrad accidentally left one roll in the camera on Apollo 12, and it's on the lunar surface still. EDIT: But, I reread your message, and, yeah, you were only referring to Apollo 11. So... sorry... my info was from other missions, not applicable. But, I'll leave the posting here anyway.

[@toddlenard7602]

As per NASA's website they also left their suits and breathing tanks and everything to be lighter in weight. My question is how did they do that did they just hold their breath and throw it out the door?

[@ddmarty]

@@toddlenard7602 Every single nutjob conspiracy theory has been explained, ad nauseum. Sometimes a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing, no matter how good your reasoning skills. Take the following question from Gianni Berati in Italy, who writes: "I have read that [Apollo 11 astronauts] Armstrong and Aldrin, after their extravehicular activities on the moon, had to throw off everything superfluous onto the lunar surface, even the lunar suits, in order to get the lunar module (LM) lighter. Is that true? How could they do that without a depressurized LM cabin?" Berati is correct-the LM cabin did not have a safe area where unclad astronauts could seek refuge from the vacuum when they opened the hatch. Before going outside, they had to first put on spacesuits, then depressurize the entire landing craft. After a moonwalk they reversed the process, only taking off their suits when the LM pressure had been brought back up to normal. The next generation of moon lander will rectify this, adding an airlock as a "mud room" where astronauts can enter and exit while others lounge unprotected inside the craft. So how did the Apollo astronauts manage to throw their spacesuits overboard? For an answer, the good folks at NASA's history office directed me to the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal, which explains in detail the unceremonious discarding of equipment onto the lunar surface. It turns out Berati is only partly right. The lunar explorers did not ditch the suits themselves, but rather the 84-pound Portable Life Support Systems (PLSS). The PLSS units, worn like backpacks, supplied enough air for four hours on the surface. Armstrong, standing inside the LM in his space suit, opened two valves to bring the cabin pressure down to zero, then opened the hatch to the outside. The astronauts took the boxy PLSS packages, which they'd detached from their suits, and pitched them out the door with gloved hands (later lunar explorers found it more effective to use their feet). "We didn't have any problems," Aldrin recalled during a technical debriefing. "I didn't notice you (Neil) had any difficulty giving the packages the heave-ho. I think each PLSS bounced once on the porch before it went down." (The "porch" was a lip of the LM jutting out just outside the hatch.) Seismic sensors left on the surface by the astronauts even recorded the thumps of the gear hitting the moon. As Mission Control radioed to the two explorers: "We observed your equipment jettison on the TV, and the passive seismic experiment recorded shocks when each PLSS hit the surface" Armstrong responded, "You can't get away with anything anymore, can you?" Examples of the PLSS gear and an unused Apollo lunar lander can be found at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C. The real ones, of course, are now lunar litter.
