Just another Hollywood abortion of something great. Won’t be spending my money on it.

For some, the “Flag-Free” aspect of this movie won’t matter.
To me, it matters a great deal. I was determined to see it before I heard there would be no acknowledgement of this as an American Mission. I’m disappointed at this attempt to ‘annul and neuter’ an historic event. Maybe I’ll see it, and maybe I won’t.

Expect more of this. Those that control the present control the past and those that control the past control the future. They are eradicating southern history and are now starting on American history. In a generation our children and grandchildren will know nothing about the greatness of America or the accomplishments of the white race. They will know only what Google/Hollywood/academia wants them to know, and it won’t be positive towards this great country.

Funny. I stopped for gas that night somewhere in Louisiana Cajun country and they had a TV complete with rabbit ears showing Armstrong stepping on the Moon.

Neil Armstrong was an unusually private person, for an Astronaut. Maybe he was overwhelmed with the unstoppable flood of attention after the Space Mission was over.
That’s understandable. Many scientists or engineer types are introverts when left to their own devices.

Many of these professionals prefer dealing with computers or fuel systems instead of unpredictable people, who may blurt out any sort of question.
I’ve 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.

Hollyweird is depending more and more on revenue from

To whit have been purging films of anything overtly
American to pander to foreigners

Dam it

I just saw that they made this movie and was surprised they didn’t make any of the Astronauts or NASA engineers Black and/or female and was looking forward to it.

Too bad Liberals poisoned something again

Screw the Gosling guy and Hollywood in general for slanting all of their projects to the Left and thinking that's normal. If you think fake news is bad in the news media, Hollywood movies are 100% fake and make-believe and the players twist their scripts to reveal their liberal bias. I expect that from this crowd.

But what is special for me about this story is the date Neil Armstrong stepped down on to the moon's surface and Nixon declared it a national holiday, July 20, 1969. I remember the date very well.

I was scheduled for my Army draft physical the next morning and it was postponed because of the moon landing and the holiday. It gave me a reprieve from being drafted and I had time to go join the Air Force instead of the Army. I met my wife of 43 years in the Air Force and we both retired after serving 20 years. We are now retired after our second careers and run beef cattle on a farm in rural Florida for fun.

But I tell my wife, that if Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin hadn't landed on the moon on that day, July 20, 1969, and if Nixon hadn't declared it a national holiday, I would have been drafted into the Army and I would never have met her and married.

The turns of fate in our lives.

I was looking forward to seeing this movie.

Now I am looking forward to doing something with the money I will be saving instead of purchasing two tickets and bad popcorn.

"...“I think this was widely regarded in the end as a human achievement (and) that’s how we chose to view it,” he said. “I also think Neil was extremely humble, as were many of these astronauts, and time and time again he deferred the focus from himself to the 400,000 people who made the mission possible.”..."

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.

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.

*** Armstrong’s 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.
