The American flag on the moon was knocked over by the Apollo 11!

Apollo 11 was the spaceflight that landed the first humans on the Moon, Americans Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.

Armstrong spent about two and a half hours outside the spacecraft, during those two hours he planted the American flag on the moon’s surface. Aldrin spent slightly less time, and together they collected 47.5 pounds of lunar material for return to Earth.

After about seven hours of rest, the crew was awakened by Houston to prepare for the return flight. Two and a half hours later, they lifted off, carrying the 47.5 pounds of lunar samples with them.

During the launch Aldrin looked up in time to see the exhaust from the ascent module's engine knock over the American flag they had planted.
