“human achievement instead of something distinctly American.

This leftist Gosling is all wet, the landing was not only about being "distinctly American" but about America first!

The Apollo space program was first a crash effort to catch up with the Soviet Union’s remarkable success in space. It was a second a statement that free people and capitalism can produce better than communism. Given the political reasons for going, Neil Armstrong’s mission was to plant the American flag on the moon. Science was second.

Pardon me if I take the word of a man who broke all sorts of aviation barriers* over the word of someone who tried it in video games only (and probably had to use up all his extra lives to do it!)

*AND knew Mr. Armstrong in person

Even MTV had their joke MTV flag that was based on the real moon landing photos displaying the American flag. Now these liberals can't show any remnant of the flag as I guess it is "controversial" now?.

In the first 2 trailers for the movie I did not see the flag or USA on the Saturn V. The only flag was one hanging by a door at a house.
