Other than by human interaction, the flag never has waved on the moon. There are several reasons for this.
First, all of the flags planted on the moon had a support bar across the top to hold the flag "open" rather than hanging limply down the pole. They did this to give the flag an appearance of blowing in the wind. There is no wind on the moon.
Second, the flags did not wave without first being moved by an astronaut (such as the astronaut twisting the pole as it was planted or by brushing the flag as he moved past it). In a low-gravity vacuum the material of the flag will behave differently than it would here on earth. This behavior is often cited as "proof" that the flag was blowing in the wind, which it was not. There is no wind on the moon.
Third, the location the Apollo 11 crew (Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin) planted the flag turned out to be too close to the Lunar Module (LM). The also didn't get the pole very deep into the lunar surface. When the LM lifted off Aldrin saw the flag getting blown over.
Fouth, the flags were simple nylon flags bought at a local department store by NASA, the same you can buy today just about anywhere. After more than 40 years in direct, unfiltered sunlight, unprotected from the harmful radiation of the sun (protection provided to Earth by our atmosphere, something that is notably absent on the moon) the flag has most likely disintegrated into very small pieces, possibly into dust.
What else can I help you with?
Who flown the first flag to the moon?
America- Neil Armstrong
What did Armstrong leave on the moon?
Neil Armstrong left a plaque on the moon's surface that reads: "Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon July 1969, A.D. We came in peace for all mankind." He also left a patch from the Apollo 1 mission and a small silicon disk containing messages from world leaders.
When was the first flag on the moon?
Neil Armstrong placed the first flag on the moon in 1969 on July 20.
Did the flag on the moon fall when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin blasted off the moon?
No, the flag on the moon did not fall when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin blasted off because there is no atmosphere on the moon to cause the flag to float or fall. However, the motion from the rocket blast-off did cause the flag to ripple.
When was the US flag first flown on the moon?
When the first U.S. spacecraft landed there because there was a flag posted on the side of the craft. Neil Armstrong planted a flag on a small staff soon after landing as well. This was on July 20th 1969.
Is the American flag fixed on the moon by Neil Armstrong still there?
Yes, it is still on the moon but rocket blast from takeoff knocked it over.
When did Neil Armstrong place the American flag on the moon?
1969
Did Neil Armstrong put the American flag on the moon?
of course he did
Why did Neil Armstrong put the US flag on the moon because you he was brish?
Neil Armstrong was working for NASA and working for the USA so he only had an American flag and he wouldn't have a Union Jack
What is the place called where Neil Armstrong placed the American flag?

Who planted an American flag on the moon when?
Neil Armstrong, the landing was on July 20th 1969.
Where is Neil Armstrong's American flag located on the moon?
The flag left by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the moon, as part of the Apollo XI moon mission, was left at their landing site, at the Sea of Tranquility.
What year did Neil Armstrong put the first flag on the moon?
The year Neil Armstrong put the flag on the moon was in 1969.
What does the flag Neil Armstrong planted on the moon represent?
Neil Armstrong landing on the moon!!!
Where did Buzz Aldrin and neil Armstrong place the American flag in 1969?
In the Sea of Tranquility on the Moon.
Who placed the flag on the moon?
Neil Armstrong
What was the first flag left on the moon by the group of neil Armstrong?
Armstrong placed it near the Apollo 11 landing point in the Sea of Tranquility. It subsequently was knocked flat by the force of the lunar module's lift-off.
