202 million Americans made that possible, and the millions before then who built the country to make it a possibility. Damn right there should have been an American flag in it.
This is nothing surprising really. Liberals, and especially liberals from commie countries, don’t understand what makes America great.
That’s why they can’t understand Trump and wanting to make America great.
The moon landing was the epitome of American Greatness.
Of course they would see nothing wrong with leaving the flag out.
Another actor to delete from my play list. Very sadly, because he was one of my favorites.
Ditto that!
Great story.....
Similar to my own - the fates conspiring part, anyway.
Oh, the billions of things that had to proceed perfectly to put two people in the right place at the right time.
Congratulations.
Me either, I won’t see it.
Neither will I see the movie about Israel’s capture of Adolph Eichmann, as I’ve read that the people involved in it are tying Eichmann to Trump’s immigration stance, and it’s become a political statement against Trump.

Many of us remember that day. We remember how we felt when we saw that flag.
At least let 100 years go by before you revise History, idjit.
And the next time Hollywood does the moon landing, it’ll be a rainbow flag.
*** Armstrongs achievement transcended countries and borders. ***
I remember that day, and some who screamed that he should have planted the UN flag. But the UN had nothing to do with the landing on the moon.
Right there with you!
There is only ONE country's flag on the moon....and that's the USA's!!!!
It's one of the reasons we went to the moon....to beat the Ruskies in the Space Race.
I was determined to see it before I heard there would be no acknowledgement of this as an American Mission.
I didn't like the trailer for the movie. To me it seemed very negative.
Now that I read about the flag incident I WILL NOT be seeing the flick.
I very much enjoyed Apollo 13 as it emphasized the can-do spirit of the Space program of the 60s/early 70s. Ron Howard did a pretty good job of capturing that patriotism...for a Lefty that is.
Ive always felt that he knew something of great significance about that mission that he was under orders to never EVER reveal to anyone, perhaps not even to his wife.
Whatever the Forbidden Knowledge was, he apparently took it to his grave.

All Apollo astronauts underwent a debriefing after they returned. All of them afterward could tell you arr the details of their particular mission. None of them could tell you how it felt ...
Some because violently ill when asked, others just walked away in silence.
Another interesting tidbit is that those gold visors the Apollo guys wore were specifically designed to permit the blue part of the spectrum to be highly visible ...
It sounds as though they were or still are under a chronic state of light hypnosis. Maybe that was necessary to maintain their sanity.
The immensity, the shapeless, boundless depths of Space would be frightening, even paralyzing to most human beings, even when trained. There is nothing on earth to compare it to.
Recall a few weeks back, when the eight school boys were stranded in that underground cave. They had to swim in deep, dark waters for over a mile before resurfacing. The only way they could do this safely with untrained children was to administer a light sedative prior to their trip out. The lucky one’s have virtually no memory of their underground, underwater travel.
Maybe Ill see it, and maybe I wont.
I will watch The Right Stuff again instead of this new pile of leftist America hating trash.

Some have said they were indeed hypnotized deeply so that their feelings were totally suppressed. Maybe necessary for other reasons than simply saving their ‘sanity’ from traveling to the moon.
I highly doubt there is any relationship to what happened with the Apollo guys during their stay on the moon and on their return to kids in a cave.
In fact, there may be no relationship to anything we know publicly, so making any sort of comparison is likely fruitless. There maybe a lot more to the 45 year hiatus than (”its just rocks” “too expensive” “a bored public”) we can imagine. I sometimes have doubts that anyone from any country will ever go back to the moon let alone Mars (for which we had the potential tech in the 60s to travel to in about 3 days, not years).
Yea, but that was true. Women were computers back in the day. The electronic kind werent quite trusted yet so they needed humans to double check the math.
You want to denigrate Admiral Grace Hopper while youre at it?
Rock on!
what? No UN flag!!!
Interesting comments. How did you come about this impression? The significance relates to the timing of this movie, and its message that Armstrongs achievement transcended countries and borders.
A man speaking for the first time from a heavenly body. That's one way to get the attention of the entire planet. Explains whose script that really was. It should make more sense that way.
For starters, the mission dates corresponded to The Nine Days.
