If you are in a spaceship going thousands of miles an hour and you had a flag mounted on top of the ship would the flag be moving or would just hang down?

Assuming you're not in atmosphere and not accelerating, it's just going to hang there.
A flag flaps because of the gases passing it, no atmosphere no flapping. It would however not hang "down" as there is no major source of gravity nearby. The flag would be weakly attracted to the ship's mass and sag towards this mass. However the springiness of the fabric would resist this motion and not drape down like a flag on Earth on a still day.

How a spaceship fly in vacuum?
A spaceship can travel in a vacuum because it produces thrust. The thrust going on the back the the craft actually pushes on the front of the craft (much like a balloon does when you release the untied end. Since it is in a vacuum, there is no friction to slow the craft down once it is moving.
If you turn on a flashlight while on a spaceship going the speed of light what speed is the light from the flashlight moving at?
c - Light goes at c in all frames of reference according to Special relativity
How did you know if you are going to moon that you are going to the right direction?
Because you're in a spaceship and you're going up.
What moves faster a spaceship or a space station?
A space station only has to go fast enough to achieve orbit. A spaceship has to go fast enough to break out of orbit and get where it is going. So, a spaceship.
If your in a spaceship going 90 percent the speed of light and you shine a flashlight on an onboard vacuum chamber in the same direction that the spaceship is moving how fast is the flashlight light?
I'd imagine it would go the speed of light because time would slow down to make sure the light wouldn't go faster than the speed of light.
What is the name of the spaceship that's going up for the last time today?

How long does it take for a spaceship to go on a trip?
