Yeah, we landed on the moon.
1) The flag waves because the guy wiggled it around when he planted it.
2)The stars are there, they're too faint to see. This appeals to our common sense: When the sky here on Earth is black, there are stars. Therefore we should see them from the Moon as well. I'll say this now, The moon is not the Earth. Conditions there are weird. On the moon, the lack of air means that the sky is dark. Even when the sun is high off the horizon during full day, the sky near it will be black. You'd see stars on the moon all day. I could go on and on. I'll give you the paper if you want.
3)There is no blast crater. When someone driving a car pulls into a parking spot, do they do it at 60 MPH? No. They slow down first, easing off the accelerator. This is what the astronauts did. sure, the rocket on the lander was capable of 10,000 LBS. of thrust, but they had a throttle. They fired the rocket hard to deorbit and slow enough to land on the Moon, but they didn't need to thrust that hard as they approached the lunar surface; they throttled down to about 3000 LBS. of thrust.
4) On the surface, your 'leaning' shadows seem to make sense. However, let's assume the shadows are not parallel. One explanation is that there are (at least) two light sources (this would obscure the shadows). So if there are multiple light sources, where are the multiple shadows? Each object casts only one shadow, so there can only be one light source. The shadows are not 'leaning' the wrong way, The Moon is not the Earth, things don't work the way we expect them too.

*ehem* Owned.

I would like that paper, cause I'm not buying it.

You're a smart kid, but I really don't think you owned anything.

No, it's not just any old "I hate the government" site.
