  • The Role of Flags in Moon Landing Conspiracy Theories
    UC Santa Barbara UC Santa Barbara Previously Published Works Title Six Flags over Luna: The Role of Flags in Moon Landing Conspiracy Theories Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5h31r40r ISBN 978-0-9747728-4-4 Author Platoff, Anne M. Publication Date 2011-12-31 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ 4.0 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Six Flags over Luna: The Role of Flags in Moon Landing Conspiracy Theories Anne M. Platoff Abstract According to historians, twelve American astronauts explored the surface of the Moon between 1969 and 1972. During their time on the lunar surface each Apollo crew deployed a special flag pole, leaving a total of six American flags on the surface of the Moon. Or did they? Since the 1970s conspiracy theories have emerged which claim that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) faked the moon landings. Much of the evidence used by the conspiracy theorists consists of photographs and films released by NASA during the Apollo Program. Not surprisingly, the flags have played a major role in the argument that the moon landings were an elaborate hoax. This paper will examine the claims of the conspiracy theorists, especially those related to flags, and will provide explanations in support of the historical reality of the Apollo missions.

Shepard, Jr. with the flag on the Moon Proceedings of the 24th International Congress of Vexillology, Washington, D.C., USA 1–5 August 2011 © 2011 North American Vexillological Association (www.nava.org) 820 Six Flags over Luna: The Role of Flags in Moon Landing Conspiracy Theories The Apollo Program The iconography of exploration has long been linked with flags.

Chapter 1 1 The Oxford English Dictionary references the first use of the term “mis­ sile gap” from The Economist article dated 13 June 1959: “The Air Force gets an additional $170 million to help close the ‘missile gap.’” John F. Kennedy is particularly connected with the phrase as he used it frequently during the 1960 presidential election campaign to attack the Republicans for their supposed complacency on the subject of Soviet Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles.

  • Robert Godwin Is Publisher and Editor of Apogee Books, the World's Number One Publisher of Space Books, and He Also Is the Space
    Robert Godwin Publisher/Editor, Apogee Books Space Curator, Canadian Air and Space Museum Robert Godwin is publisher and editor of Apogee Books, the world's number one publisher of space books, and he also is the Space Curator at the Canadian Air and Space Museum. Godwin has worked with almost every surviving Apollo astronaut on his acclaimed books series "the NASA Mission Reports". Many have become his friends. Back in 1998, at an event to honour the crew of Apollo 7, Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin asked Robert to publish a book to commemorate man's first voyage to the moon. The book was extremely well received by the astronauts and led to the book series "The NASA Mission Reports". Contributors to Robert's space series include Sir Arthur C. Clarke, Tom Hanks, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, David Brin, Ron Howard, Senator Harrison Schmitt, Eugene Cernan, Wally Schirra, Dave Scott, Walt Cunningham, Dr Marc Garneau, Eileen Collins, Bonnie Dunbar and many more astronauts and space scientists. Godwin also has helped to categorize some of NASA's space archives, and is now rescuing old films, old audio recordings, documents, and works closely with NASA. He is well known and highly respected in the space community. He has appeared on many radio and television programs in Canada, the U.S, and England as an expert on space-related subjects. He is a fountain of knowledge, has many anecdotal stories, and is an excellent interview. He can provide insights into the astronauts themselves, talk about their missions and challenges, and talk about Canada's contributions to space (much of which would likely surprise most Canadians).
