You keep playing dumb about the evidence of a hoax. I guess all I can do is keep posting it to keep it from getting buried to make sure everybody sees it. Here it is again.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1UEv2PIzl4At the 2 minute 35 second mark of the video the flag is still. When the astronaut goes past it, it starts to move.
There's an analysis of that here in this three part series.

Oh Boy....I am afraid I could not wade thru all those pages and pages "Of Fake Moon landings"
Let alone copy them all and clog up SAGGs forum unnessesarily.
Nor is there any point in reading or spending hours looking at YouTube , for non existent dubious answers.
We all know the Astronauts landed on the Moon , leaving Scientific equipment there.
My admiration goes out to Fat Freddy for the superhuman collection he has made on everything he feels is fake about the Moon landings.
I assume that because of the movement of the Flag on an airless Moon Fat Freddy feels that
that particular incident was filmed on the Earth.
Well it hasnt taken me more than ten minutes to spot a few flaws in the Moons moving flag reasoning.
First and importantly...nobody has actually stated what the flag was made from
Was it Cotton Terylene, or Nylon?
The differences affected by static would be substancial.
the pole would have been an insulator...metal , even aluminium would have been considered too heavy in the Lem, where every ounce counted.
Remember that flag was assembled after they landed.
The straight wire was threaded thru the seam along the top of the flag. The flag would have picked up a static charge from their gloves. Being dissimilar materials.
The video talked about the corner bending away from the astronaut as he ran past. That if it was static it would have bent towards the astronaut.
TOTALLY WRONG ...Its more than likely that the first two astronauts, as they stood by the flag for their photo take,
passed their static charge to the (plastic) flag, sitting on its insulated pole. Static attraction or repulsion depends upon the type of static charge on both surfaces.
The third astronaut running by on the other face of the flag...would almost certainly carry the same static charge on his body suit as the first two astronauts.
Meaning that the Moon flag would tend to bend AWAY, before coming back after the charged leaked away, or redistributed itself upon the flags surface. (Which it actually did)
As for the woman rubbing her hair with the blue Balloon.
She did not demonstrate that she had collected a static charge upon that balloon.
she could have stuck it to the wall first to prove that first. Plus her holding the balloon with her two hands only helped any static to leak away quickly.
Her flag was held up by a metal tripod, so that any charged leaked quickly away into the floor.
The top half of her flag was printed or painted in black. the colour or print made with carbon or graphite... that will again quickly leak away any charge that I feel she DID NOT have. therefore this heavy flag did not move.
Nor do you hold a hopefully charged balloon right on the lower corner of a flag. That pointed flag corner again encourages the charge to leak to the floor.
Have you ever played with a balloon, you can make it stick to just about anything.
By the way, for any one interested that USA flag is still up on the moon.
