Note: there is no wind on the Moon..

The flag has a pole along the top edge holding it outstretched. Here’s a video of them planting it (about halfway through the video):

Explain why the ground looks like dirt and not cheese. Go on, I’ll wait…

It’s powdered cheese - like that shit stuff in a packet in KD. It’s not orange because this is the natural undyed stuff.


Everyone knows the moon is made of cheese!
