After Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong left the moon to return to Earth, it was reported that the Flag that they had planted onto the moon, fell over from the force of the ship leaving. NASA had tried to keep this secret for decades until they had to admit, that the American Flag fell over. On page 239 in his book, Return to Earth, Buzz says that, during the liftoff from the Moon, "There was no time to sight-see. I was concentrating intently on the computers, and Neil was studying the attitude indicator, but I looked up long enough to see the flag fall over."
