   The flag is sticking straight out.  The only time I've ever seen that   
   happen is in gale force winds.   
      
   The claim is the moon landings were shot in a studio.. one with gale   
   force wind machines that everyone forgot to turn off, and that didn't   
   affect *anything* but the flag.   
      
   Riiiigghhttt....   
      
   The only times the flag moves is when someone is touchinhg it, and   
   when cameras caught it flapping in the downblast of gasses from the   
   ascent engine as the astronauts left the moon.  Apollo 11 actually   
   blew the flag over.. they posted it too close to the lander.
