I think the flag was made out of plastic...
just like the space ship in the background,
I've seen the moon landing footage and I have to say the Wizard of OZ is more convincing then whatever they shot in studio 48
back in 1969.
There was no weightlessness on the moon, it's a small planet, it has gravity, approximately 1/6 of the earth's gravity. There is no air, so no wind.
also when the astronaught jump around, please... there would have been dust everywhere, it would fly six times higher than on earth and take 6 times longer to fall back down to the ground
(newton).
I can see how people could have believed that video back i nthe 60's but come on take a look at it.
I won't say we didn't go to the moon, but I think there were tequnical problems with the cameras or transmitions on the moon and they staged a fake version here on earth.

I think you mean how it was waving slightly. This was because of the stiff rod in the upper flag holding part of the flag stiff while the astronaut was attempting to adjust it and get it firmly planted. You'll notice the rest of the time the flag never budges not even a centimeter.

Since the flag was plastic, and the absence of atmosphere means absence of attrition, the vibrations generated while putting the flag on the ground caused this strange effect

NO... it was NOT fake. NASA really did go to the moon. The flag was waving slightly because of the weightlessness...

Because of the gravity, and the metal rod that was on the top of the flag.

They put a wire inside the top of the flag,, because there was no air.

Yes, it was all fake. It was filmed in some movie studio.
