The last line of the Star-Spangled Banner isn't a question, it's a statement:"And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall waveo'er the land of the free and the home of the brave."The last line of the first verse does end with a question, quite similar to the statement except the first part is "O, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave".
15 stars and 15 stripes to represent each state in the Union at the time. Later, when more states joined, the flag reverted to 13 stripes as they realized it would eventually end up a pink and blue flag if a stripe was added for each state.
Oh, say, can you see by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
Before the 1790s
they hated them
O're the land of the free and the home of the brave.

WHAT' O!SAY DOES That star-spangled banner yet wave' mean
The flag of the United States of America known as the "Star Spangled Banner" was flying over Fort McHenry on the morning of September 14th, 1814 after a 25 hour bombardment by British warships during the War of 1812. When the young lawyer, Francis Scott Key, awoke in the early morning light and saw the flag was still there he immediately started penning a poem, "In Defense of Fort M'Henry." The last lines of the first verse... "O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?" The name stuck especially when his poem became our National Anthem.

Francis Scott Key was asking if the American Flag was still flying at dawn during the Battle of Fort McHenry during the War of 1812.
The Star Spangled Banner is the national anthem of the United States. It was written as a poem by Francis Scott Key in 1814, during the defense of Fort McHenry in Baltimore during the War of 1812. A spangle is a decoration sewn into fabric or clothing (think along the lines of sequins). In this case, the star spangles are the stars in the upper left corner of the flag of the United States (the flag is the "banner", which is another word for a flag). The national anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner" actually has four verses, but only the first is commonly sung. The last two lines of the first verse ask, "Oh, say, does that star spangled banner yet wave / O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave?"

Yes, a flag waving on a pole is an example of a transverse wave. In transverse waves, the particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. In the case of a flag waving, the fabric moves up and down (perpendicular to the pole) as the wave travels along the flag.

No, a flag cannot wave in space as there is no atmosphere to create the wind necessary for it to wave. However, the flag can still be displayed or moved by an astronaut.
