Okay, but can you show how much closer? Did you take into account the fact that the shot changed, as well? Have you found the exact dimensions of the space suit from front to back, the distance between the camera and the flag and exactly where the astronaut was located at the time of the video? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Your presenting a video to us that shows an astronaut walk right in front of a flag, obscuring any potential contact, then saying he didn't make contact (with no proof), then saying that because of this non-proof, the rest of it didn't happen. I hope you can understand my skepticism of your claims.

Also, if you double-click quickly on the mouse to make it go frame by frame, it's clear that he doesn't touch it. He must be three feet from it.
No, it's not clear, because any potential contact is obscured by the astronaut. If you had a flag all of a sudden start waving out of nowhere, that's one thing. But if you have a flag slightly move when an astronaut walks directly in front of it, it's logical to conclude that the astronaut simply brushed the flag, rather than there being a big conspiracy.
