The Apollo 11 Moon landing and subsequent moon landings by the Americans have used a cloth flag with an aluminium post and support arm.
The support arm suspends the flag horizontally. Since there is no atmosphere on the moon if it didn't the flag would always be seen furled.
American Flag
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 Armstring contributed to humanity by for one, actually having the guts and willingness to go to space, but he collected moon dust for scientists to study, (not moon rocks, moon dust, astronauts in that time were not allowed to disturb anything on the moon, plus, the moon dust was an accident, it stuck to their suits.) and he planted the American flag on the moon.
Neil Armstrong planted the U.S Flag on the moon.
He planted the first human footstep onto the moon's surface and set the US Flag. He stayed less than an hour on the moon testing gravity and doing experiments. He also walked near craters.
They did not. The flag was made of cloth
The flag that represents the moon is the moon!
no! it was an American flag!
A flag and 3 golf balls
Yes. It was manufactured on Earth, then carried to the moon and erected there by Apollo astronauts.
The flag on the moon's surface is not a cloth flag. The flag is designed to appear to be waving in the breeze; fully extended. Since there is no wind in spce it had to be made in that manner.
The one planted on the Moon by the Apollo astronauts.
American Flag
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.
On the moon, left by the astronauts.
Neil Armstrong placed the first flag on the moon in 1969 on July 20.
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.
