Why don’t any of the planets or moons in our solar system have their own flags? Calder Hansen proposes a new flag for Mars. More information about this proposed Martian flag is available here. Hat tip: kottke. [Update (14 June 2019): There is some controversy as to the actual origins of the design for the flag for Mars. See the comments section and here.]

prior probability 
This flag of mars design is not Calder Hansen’s own idea. It was proposed and designed by a group of Bradley scholars at their 2018 annual seminar, at a group activity where Calder was present. The students were asked to design flags to represent their grade year in school. The group of students have a picture of the flag they designed for their freshman year – THIS exact red chevron on white background flag. Calder used the design as his own without permission.
Thank you for sharing this important clarification. I will revise my blog post accordingly.
