Bloody SJWs again. New "documentary" about the first Moon landing, made by Canadians, intentionally left out the fact that the first thing the astronauts did was to plant an American flag. The claim is that the event transcended nationalities.

Well, okay, but wasn't that adequately covered by the statement, "That's one small step for man, and one great step for mankind"? And how about Armstrong's statement, reported in the article, that “My job was to get the flag there. I was less concerned about whether that was the right artefact to place,” Armstrong said. “I let other, wiser minds than mine make those kinds of decisions.”

Future generations of Americans are not going to be able to learn history, because history is being whitewashed and varnished out of existence in favor of political posturing.

I heard about that.  Sounds like another show I won't watch.

"That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."  What Armstrong purportedly said wasn't really sensible,  but analysis in recent years indicates he did say "a man" in that sentence.


Nothing sjws do really surprises me anymore.   We're simply going to have to outlive them.

Except it was Americans who paid for and designed the expedition, and we were at the height of the cold war and needed to win the space race to stay ahead.
America effing dominated. No one can take that away from us.

Okay, you have a serious problem with you perception of things, when the Lego Saturn V set even has a micro USA flag in it.

Of course we didn't plant an American flag on the moon. There are no Latinos Latinx there to racism against, so why would we?

Sadly, 80% of these yoyos likely don't know who Chuck Yeager is.

In the comments, someone posted pictures comparing the Canadian PM to Castro.  Funny.
