Did Americans actually land on the moon because i was watching the video and the flag was moving in outer space?

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.

Why did the flag on the moon not slump against the pole?

The lack of atmosphere on the moon means there's no wind to cause the flag to slump against the pole. When the flag was initially planted, the horizontal pole along the top edge helped it maintain its iconic rippled appearance.


Why did astronauts fix a tin flag on the moon?

They did not. The flag was Nylon and quite ordinary. The flag pole was fairly unique in that it had a pole in the top of the flag to hold it up. This was done because there is never any wind on the moon.


Why should a flag not be flown during a thunderstorm and tornado?

Flying a flag during a thunderstorm and tornado can be dangerous as the metal pole can attract lightning, increasing the risk of a lightning strike. Additionally, strong winds associated with these weather events can damage the flag and its pole. It is safer to wait until the weather conditions have improved before flying a flag again.


When did someone first plant a flag at the South Pole?

Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen led the team that first set foot at the South Pole during December 1911. They erected a tent at the pole after spending about a week verifying their location using celestial navigation skills. Atop the tent, they mounted a Norwegian flag. It is not documented exactly who mounted the flag on the tent.

The leeward side of a mountain is warm because as air moves up and over the mountain, it loses moisture and heat, resulting in warmer and drier air on the leeward side.
