Man on the Moon...?

When you see pictures of the astronauts is space how come you don't see stars in the background.
And this, from Bad Astronomy, which (as mentioned earlier) is completely awesome:
Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy: Bad TV
Sure, bring facts into the discussion.
Hey, it may not be human, but it sure looks like Spongebob Squarepants.
I agree. I'll admit that I have some tin-foil-hatish tendencies but this one is so far out there it's not even on my radar .:biglaugh::wideeyed:
There in a studio.
Um, yeah, this is when they were practicing using their tools while in spacesuits. You didn't expect them to just get to the moon and wing it, did you?
The idea that the entire human landing program was completely falsified from start to finish. Some claim that the technology to send men to the Moon was insufficient or that the Van Allen radiation belts, solar flares, solar wind, coronal mass ejections, and cosmic rays made such a trip impossible.
If those 10% voted seriously, it not only shocks me, it causes me grave concern.
Philippe Lheureux, in Lumières sur la Lune (Lights on the Moon), said that astronauts did land on the Moon, but that, in order to prevent other nations from benefiting from scientific information in the real photos, NASA published fake images.

lol, I know a lady you should meet. You guys could take your dogs to psychics together.
Go to the BadAstronomy site.
Those are actually valid concerns, and many of those are what's preventing deeper space travel, such as a Mars mission right now. The astronauts certainly could have experienced these things, and they were lucky they didn't.
Cycofan1, you really need to find a way to discern between science and pseudoscience.
As someone said...go to BadAstronomy. Stay there awhile. That guy is an actual, bona fide astronomer...pay attention to him.

Really, this is what the internet age produces? /sigh
If you're that into pulling crap out of the dregs of the internet, I suggest you go to BadAstronomy as it has answers to nearly all of the questions you have. Well, except for that middle quote...that's just "Gold Jerry, Gold!"
Shhh. I know.
Also, Buzz Aldrin is actually an android simulacrum. The real Buzz has been dead for 30 years.
You'd be surprised how little air moves when there isn't any air to move. Where as a footprint, even though lighter on the moon than on earth, is still physical contact that would leave an imprint. A lot of what we experience on earth is the air being moved around us. It's the changes in air pressure that move a lot of debris. No air=very localized disturbance. Just like dust, without any air to hold the dust, it immediately falls back to the ground. It doesn't get lifted up and tossed out by the air since there isn't any.

Also, with the reduced gravity, they didn't have to use much thrust to leave the moon.
You don't see stars probably because the camera focused because there was so much light. It focused to the people and the flag rather than the dimmer stars and blackness in the background.When you see pictures of the astronauts is space how come you don't see stars in the background.
