Four decades after the last astronauts landed on the moon and planted an American flag in lunar soil, scientists wondered: 'Does that star spangled banner yet wave?'
在最后一名宇航員登陸月球并在地面插上美國國旗四十年之后，科學家在想：“星條旗依然舞動著嗎？”

The most recent photos of the moon taken by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera show that the flags still exist — except the one planted by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin after they became the first humans to touch the lunar surface July 20, 1969.
美國航天局月球勘測軌道飛行器照相機最新照片顯示，國旗仍然矗立著——除了尼爾·阿姆斯特朗和巴茲·奧爾德林插下的那面國旗不見了，他們于1969年7月20日成為第一個登上月球的人類。

The conditions on the surface of the moon are harsh. Temperatures swing between 250 and -280 degrees Fahrenheit.
月球表面條件惡劣。溫度早晨可達到242華氏度，晚間可達零下280華氏度。

It was feared the flags would be lost due to the rough lunar environment.
有人擔心惡劣的月球環(huán)境會致使國旗丟失。

歡樂吐槽：六面國旗只剩下五面了，還有一面被誰拿走了呢？外星人？擎天柱？基地組織？城管？還有人表示是吳剛砍桂花樹時不小心砍斷那面旗子了……你覺得呢？
