The answer is, the flag isn't waving. It looks like that because of the way the flag was deployed. The flag hangs from a horizontal rod which telescopes out from the vertical one. In Apollo 11, they couldn't get the rod to extend completely, so the flag didn't get stretched fully. It has a ripple in it, like a curtain that is not fully closed. In later flights, the astronauts didn't fully deploy it on purpose because they liked the way it looked. In other words, the flag looks like it is waving because the astronauts wanted it to look that way. Ironically, they did their job too well. It appears to have fooled a lot of people into thinking it waved.

mukunth guy is right
if u have ever seen the real video of this mission u will also realize that the flag was not infact waving due to the spring but was waving because of the wind it was fast man
the flag was completely like in a full blow of wind !

NASA engineers designed a flagpole with a horizontal bar allowing the flag to "fly" without the benefit of wind to overcome the effects of the moon's lack of an atmosphere. But it just hangs, it never waves unless an astronaut is touching it.

hi
Your question is a very valid one.There is clear scientific proof that the apollo landing on the moon is just fake (something which has been built up by NASA).As you know,there is no air in the moon so there is no possibility of a flag flying there.
If you are interested in getting the complete scientific explanation,check out the link iam sending.
Please select my answer as the best one.

The flag did not wave. It had wire in it to make it stiff.

Solar winds perhaps?
Solar Winds - A stream of protons moving radially from the sun.

i that flag was itself moved by the astranaut & it caused the flag to wave. as simple as that.

It was held up by a spring. There is no air in space, therefore, no air currents..at all.
