Eric Mc Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Do you know when that picture was taken? Buzz also says that the flag was blown over by the ascent engine exhaust. Would it be visible lying in the dust with this resolution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 I don't know when it was taken but I don't think it's that new. As for the flag, it's generally agreed that it would be bleached white by the sunlight by this time so probably wouldn't show up - the exhaust might have covered it with dust as well as blowing it over.
