* Six American flags were planted on the lunar surface by the Apollo missions between 1969 and 1972.

However, it's important to note:

* The flags are likely faded and damaged. The harsh UV radiation and extreme temperature swings on the moon would have taken their toll on the fabric.

* They are not official U.S. flags. The flags planted on the moon were made for the space missions and weren't official government flags.

So, while the flags are still there, they are probably not in the same condition as when they were planted.
