Since Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon, the iconic visual of the American flag they left behind marked NASA’s success in going where no man had gone before, marking their arrival for future visitors to see. Since then, all space suits worn by Americans have been adorned with the American flag. However, NASA has been supporting a design that may replace the American flag during space travel. The new flag, called the International Flag of the Planet Earth, is expected to represent Earth as a whole, rather than segment only the United States.
According to the International Flag of the Planet Earth’s official website, the new flag is intended to represent Earth as a whole and to “remind the people of Earth that we share this planet, no matter of national boundaries.” NASA is hopeful that other countries will adopt the new flag during their space expeditions and bring forth a level of solidarity across the planet, rather than segment the space race into different teams.

They need to go ask the other governments of the world for their funding, first.
Let them get their funding from the U.N. then.
Hopefully Elon Musk will hate this.
Gotta go back to the moon to do it, though, and they’ve already blown this year’s budget appeasing muslims...
A major part of this nation’s problem is the lack of national pride.
Green with a crescent will be the next step.
You know, to improve the morale of Moslems, as
directed by the First Moslem by fraud in the White Mosque.
Exactly.
Why not the rainbow flag? Or the communist flag?
Doesn’t mean anything, does it. Poor substitute.
That group of seven circles is known as the Flower Of Life.

THIS IS AMERICA!

ANY QUESTIONS?
“A major part of this nation’s problem is the lack of national pride.”
Anyone expressing national pride in school is likely to be sent to the office and probably expelled. The schools started doing away with national pride when the newer generation of anti-war hippies entered the system around 1969. Anyone not expressing the liberal orthodoxy will face tremendous pressure to conform.
when the rest of the freakin planet is paying the bills... then they can put up such a flag.
until then... i FULLY EXPECT to see the AMERICAN FLAG in all instances in which a flag is called for.
PERIOD.
“THIS IS AMERICA!
WE SPEAK ENGLISH!
WE SALUTE THE AMERICAN FLAG!
ANY QUESTIONS?”
Yes one, why does not anyone who feels different just leave??
Those will be next Jim..... Sickening.
Is this satire?
Fine, NASA Pinheads. Send your bills to ‘Planet Earth’ for payment and see how far you get.
That’s not Earth. That’s confusion.
