The moon has about 1/6 the gravity of Earth. The moon has no atmosphere. The flag is held straight by the use of wire within the flag itself.

You don't need pressure to walk on a surface, you need gravity. Moon has gravity. The flag was kept in that position by a horizontal metal pole attached to the top of the flagpole. It is quite visible.

Air pressure is not necessary for walking on the moon, gravity is. The moon has its own gravity. I don't get the flag reference. The flag planted on the moon has an aluminum bar to hold it outstretched. What of it?

the flag has a little wire to hold it out.
people don't "walk" on the moon, they sort of skip.

Go to the Nevada Desert and stay there for 140 hours. They would have died by then, but they didn't.
