yeh unfortunatly its already been posted somewhere on here solarstone,
It got debunked as a fake, it's pretty realistic though, which proves that maybe it was all just a hoax? i dunno,
But im pretty sure it's been on here before

Nnnnooooo... not again.
It isn't blowing in the wind. Even the dumbest hoaxist would notice thier flag was blowing, and with the money that NASA has, they would have said
"CUT!!!" and turned off the fans to re-shoot that scene. This has been explained numerous times on these boards.

Here you go: www.badastronomy.com...
Specifically pertaining to the flag:
 www.badastronomy.com...
Of course a flag can wave in a vacuum. In the shot of the astronaut and the flag, the astronaut is rotating the pole on which the flag is
mounted, trying to get it to stay up. The flag is mounted on one side on the pole, and along the top by another pole that sticks out to the side.
In a vacuum or not, when you whip around the vertical pole, the flag will ``wave'', since it is attached at the top. The top will move first,
then the cloth will follow along in a wave that moves down. This isn't air that is moving the flag, it's the cloth itself.
New stuff added March 1, 2001: Many HBs show a picture of an astronaut standing to one side of the flag, which still has a ripple in it (for example,
see this famous image). The astronaut is not touching the flag, so how can it wave?
The answer is, it isn't waving. It looks like that because of the way the flag was deployed. The flag hangs from a horizontal rod which
telescopes out from the vertical one. In Apollo 11, they couldn't get the rod to extend completely, so the flag didn't get stretched fully. It has a
ripple in it, like a curtain that is not fully closed. In later flights, the astronauts didn't fully deploy it on purpose because they liked the way
it looked. In other words, the flag looks like it is waving because the astronauts wanted it to look that way. Ironically, they did their job too
well. It appears to have fooled a lot of people into thinking it waved.
This explanation comes from NASA's wonderful spaceflight web page. For those of you who are conspiracy minded, of course, this doesn't help because
it comes from a NASA site. But it does explain why the flag looks as it does, and you will be hard pressed to find a video of the flag waving. And
if it was a mistake caused by a breeze on the set where they faked this whole thing, don't you think the director would have tried for a second take?
With all the money going to the hoax, they could afford the film!
Note added March 28, 2001: One more thing. Several readers have pointed out that if the flag is blowing in a breeze, why don't we see dust blowing
around too? Somehow, the HBs' argument gets weaker the more you think about it.
Move on folks nothing to see here. 
PS... use the ATS search feature all the "moon landing hoax" issues have been discussed ad infinitum if memory serves.
