Screw him. I will never watch this garbage. There is an American flag on the moon planted by Armstrong. It is there and will be there for another thousand years.

The Apollo program was lavishly funded by the American Taxpayer.

I have deep roots in the American space program, as my father was a design engineer on the Saturn V booster for Douglas AC and I was a design engineer on the ISS program with McDonnell Douglas and Boeing. I know first hand what AMERICANS kicked in for this “human” achievement.

When a patriotic friend and ISS alum asked if I would be viewing First Man, I voiced my objection to the slight on this American effort and said I would be avoiding First Man’s calumny on American honor.

My hat is off to you and your father. Thank you for your contributions to America’s space exploration efforts.

"I also think Neil was extremely humble, as were many of these astronauts, and time and time again he deferred the focus from himself to the 400,000 people who made the mission possible.”

Morons.
Name those among the 400,000 people who were not Americans.
That should not be a task that even a Canadian can't do.

Or 10,000 years before we see a Canadian koranimal and her flag anywhere on the moon...

Well there were “German” rocket scientists we picked up after “the war”.

The moment “transcended countries and borders,” the actor told reporters in a pitch-perfect parody of PC speak.

"Everyone gets a trophy whether they participated or not - just so long as there are no winners.....because that would make the rest, like my own country.....LOSERS."

I guess the paint job on the Saturn V rocket would make the Canuck's head explode:

It just really pisses.me off for some idiotic Canadian actor, who’s sole contribution to humanity is pretending to be someone he is not, just blandly and casually dismiss the enormous sacrifice and hard work, not to mention engineering, manufacturing, organization, and vision that went to make this stunning achievement possible.
I stand in awe of what you and your father achieved. NO WAY am I seeing this movie. Life is too short to waste time watching stupid people.

404. That’s an error.

The requested URL was not found on this server. That’s all we know.

The original poster can usually see it even when it’s messed up. It’s in your cache.

There are two types of countries:

Those that use metric, and those that have been to the moon.
