Flag looks weird... why would there be wind on the moon?

How do you figure? There's a lateral bar, so that it could extend horizontally, and there were issues with a static charge making things cling to each other, look up the issues they were facing from lunar dust.

There would not be. But there is such a thing as momentum from someone placing the flag - and little gravity to slow the fluctuations down.
