Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the Apollo 11 astronauts planted a flag on the moon?

Yes. Multiple reference sources state directly that the Apollo 11 crew planted the United States flag on the lunar surface during their moonwalk. A few other items confirm the moonwalk or treat the flag planting as established fact.
