The late Neil Armstrong’s 1969 trip to the moon may have been “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” but it was also a massive achievement for the United States.
One of Armstrong’s first orders of business was to proudly plant the American flag, after all.
But Ryan Gosling, the Canadian actor who plays Armstrong in “First Man,” Hollywood’s rendition of the moon landing, told the Telegraph the magic moment was intentionally omitted from the big screen because Armstrong’s achievement “transcended countries and borders.”

Ping.
I refuse to give my patriotic United States dollars to this movie.
Trump could make the trade deal contingent on adding a flag planting scene.
Armstrong’s achievement “transcended countries and borders.”....
You didn’t do that. The World did that. /S
So, let’s pretend it did not happen.
“told the Telegraph the magic moment was intentionally omitted from the big screen because Armstrong’s achievement “transcended countries and borders.””
The little red hen comes to mind. Who baked the bread.
“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.”
400,000 Americans...
WTF!?
WHAT. HORSE. HOCKEY.
I am positive Ryan Gosling would fall into that category.
The Saturn V rocket bore an American flag, not a UN flag. The CSM bore an American Flag, not a UN flag. The LEM bore an American flag, not a UN flag. The astronauts wore space suits bearing a US flag, not a UN flag. The Saturn V rocket was made in the USA. The CSM was made in the USA. The LEM was made in the USA. The space suits were made in the USA.
The landing may have inspired the world, but it was an American achievement that showcased the skill, talent, technical expertise, and will of the USA.

I doubt this is Goslings' own opinion.
I suspect this was the narrative of the screenwriter and director.
Transcends countries and borders??? THAT WAS ALL AMERICAN INGENUITY!! NO OTHER COUNTRY!! The single greatest achievement in the history of the World......but we don’t want to make any other countries feel bad about themselves, do we.....so Hollywood chooses to denigrate our hard work. APPALLING!
The planting of the flag on the moon was the epitome of when America was Great.
Lest we forget what those a******s desire to bury.
We never went to the moon.
