I thought those flags were made out of foil. Why would we use nylon???

If they are made of nylon, what keeps it "waving" on the windless moon?

When they landed on the moon and it was shown on TV, it was explained that since there was no wind on the moon to make the flag wave, a special wire support was fabricated to give the appearance of waving.
