Flag Turned-it Bends & Folds Hitting Air Pockets-Shouldn't Move on Moon.

As the Astronaut turns the flag back and forth, the flag bends and folds as it hits pockets of air in the Fake Moon-Set Studio Bay. The real Moon is a vacuum, its space has no atmosphere, therefore a flag with an overhead support bar to extend it out flat, would keep the extended flag flat, as it turns back and forth when being put deeper into the ground.

In this Fake Moon-Set scene, the stagehands should have prepared hidden solid wires all around the ends of the flags material, or made the material more firm, therefore faking the appearance of the flag remaining perfectly flat and not moving, as the Astronaut would be turning the flag back and forth. This would have simulated the appearance of the flag being twisted in a vacuum as on the real Moon, and not hitting pockets of air causing it to bend and fold.

Astronaut Gene says at :22 "Yea, but ya ever see it vibrate like that?(In practice runs on the Fake Moon-Set) Astronaut Jack replies "No, I've never put a flag up on the (Fake)Moon before." Gene replies "What!"(while laughing)

Astronaut Jack says at 1:14 "That sort of looks like it's waving in a breeze(hitting pockets of air in the Fake Moon-Set Studio Bay). Astronaut Gene Replies "Yes sir."
