GIZMODO.COM reports:
NASA has finally answered a long-standing question: all but one of the six American flags on the Moon are still standing up. Everyone is now proudly talking about it. The only problem is that they aren't American flags anymore.

    Appropriate, since America has been in a downward spiral since the 1960s.

    No, it's not an apt metaphor. It's just cheaply made flags.

    Well, Armstrong DID say these very words after stepping onto the moon's surface:

    "That's one small step for [a] man... one giant leap for Mankind."

    Notice that he said "Mankind" instead of "The United States of America."

    Although I do believe Obama is out to destroy our space program in lieu of giving it all to Muslim union workers, the flags were white before he got there and will be white when someone who takes pride in the space program relieves him. Hopefully Romney will see the need to plan a trip to the Moon for no other reason than to replace those worn out flags.

    Not surrender - but peace (the excessive pride kill people's mind.)

    There are literally millions of people on this planet that would prefer you be dead for no other reason than the fact you don't face west when you kneel down to pray. There are literally millions of others who have other reasons. This planet is nowhere near the point where surrender assures peace. If you put down your gun, someone will just shoot you with less hesitation. So, pretend all you want that 1,000 years of combat will suddenly end because the ink in the flags on the moon faded. Me, I'd just as soon deal with the issues at hand and have some pretty flags on the Moon. The two issues are not related.

    (accurate for national pride, not race)

    America under the current administration has given up its pride of "exceptionalism" and has aimed to make itself equal to other nations, including 3rd world tyrannies.

    I have full confidence that non-whites could do equally well in all roles at JPL, but it doesn't look like JPL has a quota or affirmative action plan for its engineering team.

    Why would you fill specialist positions that are crucial to safety with someone who isn't up to the standard, just to fill a "black" quota? Idiocy.

    Who said "black"? you know Southern Asians are quite dark and are also as capable of filling in many technical and engineering positions in many fields. There is simply no recruitment aimed towards them. You have revealed a flaw in your understanding of of the term "non-whites". smh
