the flag waves because it was planted in the soil and Neil Armstrong twisted the poles.
this is obvious because int other footage you can see the flag is not moving when he walks past it.
Since there is no wind on the moon the flag pole made of the moon landing was an upside-down "L" shape to hold the flag material straight out.
Either Neil Armstrong twisted the flag or it was fake.
no, because if you see in the background theres no stars and the American flag is waving but theres no wind on the moon
It was because the flag was not waving. And there were no stars in the sky. The flag was not waving as the moon has no wind , and the gravity is less. There are no stars asthe photo was taken in the day.
The pole is slightly springy and is wiggling the flag a bit.
We don't know for certain, but I think they were real. The main reason that people believe it was faked is because the flag is waving, even though there is no wind on the moon. The reason the flag is waving is because it is not a real flag, it is made out of tinfoil and bent to give the optical illusion that it was waving.
The flag on the moon's surface is not a cloth flag. The flag is designed to appear to be waving in the breeze; fully extended. Since there is no wind in spce it had to be made in that manner.
The fabric of the flag has a wire mesh sewn into it. The flag rolls up into a nice little package. When on the Moon, the astronauts extend the pole and stick it into the ground. They can then unroll the flag.

incorrect answer above... the flag was made of tin and bent so it looks like its waving!
When waving the American flag, be careful not to let any part of it touch the ground, because this is offensive.

Many say it is a fake as the flag on the moon is waving when there is no wind there.
The flag remains on the Moon .
