Leading moon scientist believes Americans did land on the Moon

Chinese leading moon scientist Ouyang Ziyuan said here Friday that the Apollo 11 landing on the Moon was credible.

"Although there is no atmosphere on the Moon, the U.S. flag could still fly due to the shaking of the pole," he said, saying that he had conducted a similar experiment himself.

"I believe the Americans really did land on the Moon," he told the 36th Scientific Assembly of the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR).

Most knowledge about the Moon came from the Apollo program, he added.

Doubt has been cast on the credibility of the Apollo 11 landing by some scientists, who argue that the flag planted in the ground could not flap because of the absence of atmosphere.

American astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin set foot on the Moon on July 20, 1969. The Apollo program put a total of 12 astronauts on the Moon, the last in 1972.

I'm Trippin!

Planning a drive out east. I'm sure my relatives out west are not going to be impressed. I'm going to try to head over to souris, mb to see the swinging bridge out there. I remember wanting to go there for years but never did. I'm going alone and I will be bringing the camera so if I don't ever come back you might want to hunt around for the camera as it may very well have my last moments on it. I was also considering doing a timelapse from home to winnipeg, but I'm not sure what I should do for the time lapse. Its 10 hours (give or take) to the city. I was thinking of a picture every 10 minutes or so.... any suggestions?
