6, one for each successful Apollo mission. However, they are now white. This is due to the atmospheric pressure which has caused them to fade/change.
Neil Armstrong planted the U.S Flag on the moon.
The Moon Trees were planted as tribute to Stu Roosa, CMP of Apollo 14.
No. If you look at the moon with the naked eye on Earth, you see craters that look very small. However, the craters are very large, and larger than the American flag Neil Armstrong placed. Because the size difference from Earth effects the size of the craters from the naked eye, you would not be able to see the flag. In fact, from the moon looking back to earth, you can see no man-made structures at all. The distance is too far. Also, the flag was knocked flat by the force of the lunar module's take-off from the surface.
Neil Armstrong planted the U.S. flag on the moon to show the world that the moon was finally conquered. Till then it was only a dream to land on the moon.
you have to get fifty flags apparently to remove all the boulders.
There are six American flags on the moon, all of which were planted during the Apollo missions between 1969 and 1972. Over time, exposure to the harsh lunar environment has caused the flags to fade and deteriorate.
The U.S. has 6. No other countries have flags there.
Six flags were planted on the moon during the Apollo missions between 1969 and 1972. The flags were left by astronauts from the United States to mark their presence and signify their accomplishment of landing on the lunar surface.
there are total 6 flags planted by astronauts !!!!
Four countries have flags on the moon. The United States, the former Soviet Union, Japan, and China.In addition, the European Space Agency (ESA), which is a consortium of 17 countries, also has a flag on the moon.
As of now, there are six American flags on the Moon. However, they are all white now due to atmospheric pressure. Think about leaving something in the sun, it will fade. On the moon, it occurs at a much faster rate.
United States, the former Soviet Union, Japan and most recently India have flags on the moon. http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/India%27s_flag_lands_on_Moon
Yes, there are six flags on the moon from the six USA lunar landings. All but one are still standing. United States, the former Soviet Union, Japan and most recently India have flags on the moon.
Only one, the USA- this was planted by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, who were the first men to land on the moon on 20th July 1969 as part of the Apollo 11 mission.
The flags planted on the moon during the Apollo missions were not made of tin; they were actually crafted from nylon. The fabric was chosen for its lightweight and durability, allowing the flags to withstand the harsh lunar environment. Additionally, the flags were designed with a horizontal support rod to keep them unfurled, as there is no atmosphere on the moon to cause them to wave.
Yes, the flags that were planted on the moon during the Apollo missions are likely still standing, but the harsh conditions on the moon have likely bleached them white from the sun's ultraviolet rays.
