Best Answer

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.
