Truth in lending statement. I haven’t see the movie, “First Man”, which is about Neil Armstrong. I WILL NOT pay money to see the movie.
There is a controversy about the movie because the director “decided” to omit the planting of the American flag on the moon.
The CANADIAN actor who portrays Armstrong has stated, that the moon landing, “… transcended countries and borders … [was] widely regarded in the end as a human achievement, that’s how we chose to view it“. F’ you, snow monkey!
Once again, the apology for American Greatness. I suspect that the younger “socialist” generation once again missed out on the FACT that we were in a “space race” with the Russians. Hmmm, once again the Russians. The Ruskies kicked our asses in getting the first satellite in orbit, Sputnik, the first animal to orbit the Earth, the dog Laika, and the first man in space, Yuri Gagarin. Do they teach that in school? I doubt if you asked any Russian comrade if these three accomplishments are viewed as world achievements, you would hear anything but HYSTERICAL LAUGHTER.
We should be proud to say that “America was and still is the greatest nation on Earth“. We kicked the commies’ butts and beat them to the moon. American ingenuity, American workers, American dollars, and American courage accomplished the greatest achievement of ALL MANKIND. That doesn’t “transcend borders”. That’s American willpower, American skill, and American greatness.
We didn’t stick the UN flag on lunar surface. We planted the American flag on the moon.
