1.Once again, the viewers await your "atmosphere explanation" that doesn't contradict the laws of science.
That statement is just a lame attempt at sophistry. This...
Anybody can hang a light piece of cloth from a ceiling light and trot by it about about a forty five degree angle and it will first move away from you, and then back toward you after you've passed it as the air moves back the other way to fill the gap caused by your passing just as the Apollo flag did.

...doesn't contradict the laws of science. It is science. You're trying to mislead those viewers who don't take the time to look at what's actually being discussed.
Look at the movement of the flag when he's very close to it but not quite close enough to touch it in the above video and in this one.

Air made it move. Showing what happens when a car is in a wind tunnel doesn't make this go away.
The only thing that matters is what the viewers end up thinking. This anomaly is too clear to obfuscate so go ahead and declare victory like the Black Knight in this video.
