Arthonon Air Combat & General Aviation Editor Hotshot Registered: 09/28/04 Posts: 5480 Loc: California	Based on these two articles, I'd say no one really knows: In this one, they talk about no knowing the condition of the landing sites and that the LRO will take photos of it: http://www.space.com/6993-apollo-11-moon-landing-flag-standing.html From that article: What is the condition of Tranquility base after 40 years? Was the American flag blown over on the Eagle's ascent and is it now a bleached skeleton? What are the relatively long term effects of the lunar environment on human artifacts? And in this one, they show some photos taken, but they're not detailed enough to know the condition of the flag. http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/LRO/multimedia/lroimages/apollosites.html My deduction is that they didn't know before the photos were taken, and they didn't find out after the photos were taken, so basically no one knows. _________________________ Ken Cartwright No single drop of rain feels it is responsible for the flood. http://www.techflyer.net

Stuffy7634 'Stuffy' - Dowding! Member Registered: 03/20/11 Posts: 371 Loc: UK	That's true: no one knows, because no one has been back since to look. It might well be a 'flag skeleton' now. _________________________ Mobo: GA-P35-S3 CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 2.66Ghz GPU: ATI EAH4850 512mb DDR3 RAM: 4.Gb 240pin DDR2 PC667Mhz PC5300 Sound: Audigy 4 O/S: Windows 7 64bit Home Premium
