Dude’s even factually wrong. The moon has flags from multiple jurisdictions, including the USSR, China, the EU, etc. Pretty much every piece of human-made hardware on the moon has a flag on it.
Or… The moon actually has zero flags depending on your definition. Because the sun quickly bleaches them white as there is no atmosphere to shield against the UV rays.
The Apollo 11 flag may not be bleached on one side.
That’s because they put it too close to the lander and it blew over when they blasted off. This is the actual thing NASA kept secret about the moon landings for many years.
Anyway, since that flag’s been lying in the dirt for all these years, it may not have been bleached by the sun.
There’s something tragic and poetically american about traveling through space to plant your flag somewhere only to accidentally knock it straight over.

“Burn this flag, asshole!”
The Sun: “Hold my beer.”
Imagine the size of that beer
