Does the wind blow in space? If not then why does the flag appear to be waving in the moon landing shots? Hmm?

Answer 1

No the wind does not blow in space.

There were wires in the flag to make it look like that.

In all honesty; the flag fell onto the lunar surface when the module blasted off.

Answer 2

Firstly, there were six landings, not just one. Get the basics right first and you might get somewhere. >>How come da flag waved on da moon if their is no wind in space?<< THE flag (not DA flag: simple English will get you taken so much more seriously) waved only when an astronaut moved it. At other times it remained totally static, held out across the top by a rod (precisely because with no air on the Moon it won't flutter and wave) and crumpled because it has been stuffed in a small space for weeks beforehand. >>How did they video the spaceship landin and neil armstrong comin out if he was the first man on the moon?<< The only footage of the spacecraft landing was shot from inside by pointing the camera out of the window. The first steps on the Moon by armstrong were filmed using a TV camera mounted on the outside of the lunar module, a fact that was very well publicised at the time. Would you spend billions of taxpayers dollars to get a man on the Mono and not find some good way to broadcast it? >>Was da whole thin a hoax? i thinik so<< Fortunately reality doesn't care what you think. The entire Apollo project was one of the most heaviliy documented events in human history, encompassing 11 manned flights, nine of which went to the Moon, six of which landed there, and most of which sent back hours and hours of colour TV footage. It was very very real. Deal with it.

Answer 3

I don't recall ever seeing the flag wave. It was placed on the moon as a symbol with a little wire holding it up. It may have looked like it was waving because it was all wrinkly. How would you look if you were rolled up tightly for four days in a bag? Space is a vacuum. No pressure and thus no wind. And by the way, there is gravity on the moon.

Answer 4

The earth, the moon and EVERYTHING known is "in space". There is no air and therefore no wind on the moon. As I recall NASA (so they say) made the flag with a wire that supported it stretched out. No sequence of it "waving" that I know of... then you would have a head scratcher!

Answer 5

The supporting top rod was flexible and caused the entire flag to shake while being driven into the lunar surface. Had you sat and watched the flag for 2 or 3 days, the movement would eventually have damped out.

Answer 6

The wind does blow in space. Or they staged it on a windy day.
We can't breathe the space air because it is polluted air.

I think it had something to do with a rod hooked to the flag.

Answer 7

Like Stuart said, there was a rod that ran through the top of the flag.

Answer 8

It blows like the devil and it's cold and hideous. And I awake at nights thinking of all the wind in space.

Answer 9

It was either the pressure from the spacecraft or it was not real. There is no anything in space until you get into the planets and such.

Answer 10

The flag was held up by stiff wire that ran along the edge. And youse knew that, didn't youse.
