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.

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.
