It doesn't 'wave'. It's suspended from the flag pole from a piece of horizontal wire attached to the top of the flag pole at a right angle.
yes but only if some one is waving it other wise no as space is a vacuum and has no air to push the flag. there was a metal bar holding p the flag on the moon by the way
On the Moon, there is no atmosphere to create wind currents, so a flag would not wave or flutter like it does on Earth. When the Apollo missions planted flags on the Moon, they had a horizontal rod along the top to hold the flag out so it wouldn't just hang down like a curtain.
The flag that represents the moon is the moon!
Yes they did. From BadAstronomy.com (see below)Bad: When the astronauts are assembling the American flag, the flag waves. Kaysing says this must have been from an errant breeze on the set. A flag wouldn't wave in a vacuum.Good: Of course a flag can wave in a vacuum. In the shot of the astronaut and the flag, the astronaut is rotating the pole on which the flag is mounted, trying to get it to stay up. The flag is mounted on one side on the pole, and along the top by another pole that sticks out to the side. In a vacuum or not, when you whip around the vertical pole, the flag will ``wave'', since it is attached at the top. The top will move first, then the cloth will follow along in a wave that moves down. This isn't air that is moving the flag, it's the cloth itself.The moon hoax is a myth propagated by con artists that want to sell books.

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.
