My brother insisted the moon landing footage was faked because of the flag waving.
He was watching some video on his phone and pointed out the flag moving, saying there's no wind in space. I looked it up and NASA says the motion came from the pole being twisted into the ground. Does that explanation actually hold up for anyone else, or is it still a weak point?

Yeah the flag only moved when they were touching the pole.

Actually think about the material. That flag was made of thin nylon, so any movement from setting it up would keep going in a vacuum with no air to slow it down. The lack of friction explains the wobble perfectly.
