He's closing on half the size putting the flag in place (sorry to crush the idea). :smoke:

Looks like perfect pendulum motion in a vacuum to me caused by the astronaut bouncing past and disturbing the ground :smoke:

You didn't crush the idea. The perspective looks about right. And, in a weightless environment, all it would take is a slight touch.

It definitely doesn't look like like a flag would look if it was moved due to air flow. The movement of the flag is too rigid for that.

He touched it. It's held out with steel rods. It's springy.

ETA: Probably didn't feel it thru his space suit.

With no air resistance on the moon something set swinging will remain doing so for a great deal longer than on earth.

A reflection of the material and the construction. The movement is constained by the top bar. I'm not going into the 'hoax hypothesis' as a whole but this specific sequence took place in a atmosphere. I would like some expensive software to model this for precise distances and measures...I'm sure there's at least four maybe six feet between the astranaut and the flag.

The moon has an atmosphere. Please don't challenge this statement, because I don't want to look it up. Thank you for your cooperation.

Still looks like it's moving in a vacuum, it can still do that in a stable geology when disturbed.

Surface pressure 10−7 Pa (day)

Composition Ar, He, Na, K, H, Rn

It's in the Wikipedia article. Gee, that was tough.
