Serious question, why do people keep saying the moon landing footage was obviously fake?

I've looked at the actual film from 1969, and the flag movement everyone points to matches the physics of a vacuum with no air resistance. It's a specific detail that gets ignored. Has anyone else actually studied the raw NASA data?

You mentioned the flag movement, and that's a good point. I spent way too long one night watching videos about the physics of it. My big takeaway was that I should have paid more attention in high school science class. The detail about the way it settles after being planted is pretty convincing when you see it side by side with tests done in a vacuum chamber. It just doesn't behave like there's air around.

Saw a breakdown where they used a fan to mimic lunar conditions. The flag moved exactly like the footage.

The vacuum chamber tests really do make the flag's movement look spot on.
