    The astronauts were exposed to some additional radiation from visiting the site, but they were about to go to the moon. So radiation was part of the job.

      Still a valid hypothesis, where there aren't significant evidence that dinosaurs weren't advanced. Even nuclear disasters like Chernobyl would have radiation lasting hundreds of thousands of years, plenty of time in 65 million year span from their great extinction. Any significantly advanced civilization would build things that would recycle and not stay forever like we are doing right now. Would there be traces of humans 65 million years from now?

      Aarambh Verma actually, if you look at the actual agreements and ensuing politics of the 1991 dissolution, Russia *technically* didn’t leave the USSR, and they, in a way, assumed the titles and powers of the USSR (but it “ended” the Cold War, obviously). Therefore, as some (forgot who) political leaders have claimed, Russia and the USSR are technically the same entity, just renamed, the 1991 dissolution was merely a way for Ukraine and everyone still in the USSR to get out, leaving just Russia in the USSR, which, at the time of dissolution, was still inclusive of Russia.
      TL;DR, Russia and the USSR could be legally argued to be the same legal entity

Its this thing that pulls stuff downwards, which causes ropes and fabric to swing back and forth when disturbed, only to stop due to air resistance and conversion to thermal energy. The moon flags were built to have an L shaped rod that the flag hangs off of, as wind wouldn't have been able to lift it like on earth.
