That is intresting, but I feel like it would not cheapen the experience of not only confirming the moon landing, but the symbolism that flag could bring regardless of it being sun damaged. Infact it would prove even further that this happened a long time ago and not recently.

Exactly, the attention and public support would be huge for NASA.

Not wanting to go into a conspiracy rant or anything. But honest question. Wouldn't you think the big key pics we would wish to see would be say... the flag planted by Armstrong? Or maybe some of the crap left behind? You know proof that the first moon landing was real? Imagine how huge those photos could have been.... And to clarify I know so very little about all the details of this mission, or even the moon landing. Thus being a genuine question of mine...
