any object in space floats due to the absence of gravity.so,the flag also must be floating.the moon had a surface in which the flag was landed

Its been proven time and time agin, we did land on the Moon. May I also remind you that there was 6 Moon Missions that landed on the lunar surface during the Apollo era. None of these Apollo Moon Landing's were hoaxed. I will discuss and disprove the conspiracy theories you may be familiar with. Think about it logically; The spacecrafts were definitely launched by NASA, which is difficult to fake. Second the Apollo crafts could NOT have orbited the Earth for 8 days as some of the conspiracy theorists have claimed. If NASA had of done that they would have been caught on their lie, especially if they did it six times. The Russians tracked the Apollo missions very closely and they knew for a fact that none of the missions were faked. If they only had the slightest clue that the Moon Landing was faked it would have been the ultimate propaganda weapon for use against the US and to Capitalism. * N.B. THE FLAG : The flag waves because it was planted in the soil and Armstrong twisted the poles. This is obvious because in other footage you can see the flag is not moving when he walks past it. Also the reason there is no blast crater beneath Apollo 11 is because when the craft landed it reduced speed upon landing on the Moon's surface, so all that it did was blow away dust. The same is with driving into a car park because you don't drive in at 30 miles an hour. Over 3 quarters of a million people were working on the project in total. It would have been impossible for every 1 of them to keep a secret. Even filming the landing would have been MORE DIFFICULT than landing on the Moon itself. Think about the number of people they would have needed to shoot the Moon landing in a film studio. Lastly if the Moon Landing was faked, we would have found out years ago. These things don't last 41 years without an answer.

There was a pole along the top that held it open an the movement of the Astronaut and later the motion of the surface and dust and gasses from the jets when they blasted off may have moved it. I think, in fact that thing probably fell over but NASA doesn't want to advertise that. And we haven't fixed it because we didn't land in the same area on subsequent Apollo missions.

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.

not sure of your question.. but the Flag that is posted on the Moon is extended with a Pole long the length of the flag to extend the flag in the open position.

If you look at the videos, the only time the flag appears to wave is when the astronauts touched it. It also has a bar placed at the top so that it doesn't simply become limp due to the absence of the atmosphere.

The flag's top edge has a thin pole built into it. This holds it out for display. Any motion is an illusion. (except for the gasses expelled by the rocket engine of the spacecraft as it took off)

the flag is moved because the astronaughts had to stick it in the ground and wiggle it in. The rock on the moon isnt very loose. the shaking caused the fluttering of the flag.

One: There was a pole holding out the flag so it would be spread out in full regalia.
Two: The astronaut was moving the pole around at the time...momentum kept things goin.

When the lunar ascent module lifted off, the exhaust from the rocket motor and the lunar dust kicked up by the rocket buffeted the flag on liftoff.
