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.

Liberace says it look fabulous.

Gee whose taxpayers foot the bill for NASA? If were are paying it WILL be our flag that’s flown. Columbus planted the flag of Spain when he landed and the Marines on Iwo Jima didn’t raise a UN flag. It’s time we clean house at NASA and get them back to real space exploration instead of political correctness and the global warming hoax

Trial Balloons need to be smacked down hard.
Houston...we’ve got a problem.
It’s a bad idea, and even if it were a good idea, that flag is stupid
Ted Cruz should be able to put the kibosh on this stupid idea.
I’m pretty sure if you burn a flag anywhere along the south shore of Staten Island, the only thing that will beat you to the emergency room will be the lights on the ambulance. Manhattan, however, is another story.
Excuse me. Would all those who voted for any member of NASA please raise your hand? That’s what I thought..
Hey, look at the bright side:
We can always ship Sheila Jackson-Lee to mars to have her swap out that US flag the astronauts left...
So, it should ASA then. Or maybe Aeronautic Space Starships.

nevil chamberlin would be proud.
(the USSR flag would be too obvious?)

Of course NASA has to buy 2 billion wet stones to sharpen the blades for their mudSlime out reach. Just kidding they spent it on hollow points for US!
This from the generation that brought us “everyone gets a trophy just for showing up.” Can’t say I’m surprised.
