Sell Your Prototype Lunar Moon Flag and Flagpole

The lunar flags placed during the Apollo missions were ordinary nylon government flags with a modified pocket along the flag’s top that was supported by a horizontal pole running perpendicular to the main supporting pole. This modification gave the effect of the flag blowing in the wind in the moon’s zero gravity and airless environment.
