There are a number of conspiracy theories that the 1969–1972 US Apollo moon landings were a hoax. Proponents of this view believe that American astronauts did not land on the Moon and that NASA faked photos, lunar rock samples, and other evidence of the event.

One of a few allegations:

Objection: You can see the American flag fluttering in the wind in the mission video.

Answer: The flag "flaps" only when moved by an astronaut. In particular, there are moments in the film when an astronaut passes right next to a flag that remains stationary. On Earth, the air movement caused by an astronaut would have to move it.

Virtually every single beer you've ever enjoyed can be broken into one of two main types: ale or lager. The determining factor between the two? Yeast.   

There are a wide variety of flavors that ale yeasts provide to beer—spanning mango to pineapple, banana, clove, vanilla, and more. Lager yeasts, on the other hand, tend to create clean, crisp flavors that showcase beer’s other main ingredients: grains and hops.
