The flag was placed and unfolded in the outward position from its flagpole. Since there is no wind or atmosphere on the moon, it will stay that way until it is disturbed by a meteor or other force.
There are 2 forces that act on the moon. Gravity and Inertia. Gravity pulls the moon to earth. Inertia resists change in motion and wants the earth to keep moving the same direction. The forces balence out. So the moon will never fly into space.
The moon is not shown on star charts, as it moves around earth, and is never in exactly the same spot as the night before (in comparison to the stars), whereas the stars are so far away that it would take millions of years for them to move noticeably. Picture it like adding a whale to a ship's charts, it may have been there when the chart was made, but it won't necessarily be there later for other ships to use as a marker.
