How did the flag wave on the moon?


Search
: flag waved moon

Why: Abby tweet tweeted about this list of things we reportedly left on the moon. Moon Landing Hoax people cite the wavy flag as proof that it was filmed in a studio by people who had never researched the moon and the conditions on it.


Answer: Because it didn't need wind to flap, even in a vacuum. Watch proof here on "Mythbusters"


Source: YouTube

The More You Know: This guy suggests that the flag was fitted with mesh wiring that the astronauts unrolled upon landing. You can even see them fiddling with it during official footage (0:18). When it almost tips over (0:37), it still has a ripple in it.

What i find ironic is the myth busters say (at the end of thier video) if you can find a picture of the flag waving without a anstronaut holding it then the conspiracy theory might be true but right above the video is a picture of just that.
