Science

Did we land on the moon?
I think we didn't land on the moon because in the video the flag was moving but there was no atmosphere.  Since there is no atmosphere on the moon there should have been lots of present.
Another reason is that the shadow was diagonally when it should have been parallel because the sun was the only light source.
