If you've seen a Saturn V up "close", you'll realize how mammoth a rocket has to be in order to push something even as small as the Apollo modules to the moon.

My wife and I were at the Cape a couple years ago and witnessed a launch, but also took a tour and stood under a Saturn V that was on it's side in a huge hangar. I had seen pictures before but when you are right next to it you can't believe how big it is.

It's simply awe-inspiring.

And that entire, gigantic structure existed solely to get a roughly schoolbus size spacecraft out of earth's gravitational field.

I looked they used the same flag for all the landings.

One of our neighbors was the geologist in charge of the geology dealing with the moon missions, and was in mission control when they landed on the moon, during apollo 13, etc. He personally examined many moon rocks, and even has a small piece of one. Would you like to examine it and tell us how it was faked?

I'd just like to know when Apollo 13 landed on the moon.

EDIT: I also did not read every post in this thread, and realize it's already been said.
