I have a question why is the shadow of the flag to the left where as the astronaut and the lunar lander shadows are to the right?

What you see to the left of the flag on the ground is not a shadow - it’s just the way the rocks are. Look at the cloth of the flag itself, and you plainly see that it is illuminated from the left.

I did alot of photo and video viewing as part of my series “Forty years ago - today” that I posted over the last few days. I reviewed hundreds of photos and dozens of videos.

We went to the moon. No doubt at all.

There are literally thousands of still photos, and HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS video frame photos that can be analyzed and shown to be correct. Not to mention hundreds of hours of voice com, and hundreds of hours, if not thousands of automatic telemetry data sent back by the spacecraft, both when the Command module was attached to the LEM, and during the landing phase when the command module was orbiting, and the LEM had landed.

No one could fake that data. No one.

We went to the moon!

Multiple light sources. The astronauts suit itself (and his visor) would reflect quite a bit of light, probably enough to cast it's own shadow.

The shadow you at looking at is not the shadow of the flagpole. It is a shadow from something else off to the left. The shadow of the flag pole is the to right and up from the base of the flagpole. It looks short due to the angle of the shadow to the camera.

Because that’s not the flag’s shadow.
