Is there wind on the moon? I guess not because the moon has no atmosphere... but anyway how come the American flag was waving when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon?

Correct; no atmosphere, thus no wind. The US flags were held up by a pole along their top edge. The only times the flag waved (apart from an astronaut bumping into it) was when the LEM took off (which was filmed by a remote camera from Apollo 14 onward I think) and the flag waved in the rocket blast.
Think also the flag on the moon has wire in it to make it stand out to attention.... or maybe it was just a draft in the studio where they were filming the (fake) landing....?
the only wind on the moon was from neil armstongs arse
I believe the astronauts diets were carefully controlled to avoid this.
I believe that we were conned and when the makers were filming, they simply forgot about the atmosphere. The are many sites with evidence showing the moon landing was a trick, including the way the shadows of the astronauts were positioned due to the suns rays
