Movies about space exploration have tended to be pretty strong box-office performers lately, whether they’re films based on events that did happen, films based on events that didn’t happen or films based on events that will one day happen if only we could get Matt Damon enough potatoes.

Ryan Gosling himself, a Canadian, poured some unintentional gasoline on the flame when he told reporters that “I don’t think he saw himself as an American hero,” referring to Armstrong.

This in turn set off political leaders, particularly Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.). “This is total lunacy. And a disservice at a time when our people need reminders of what we can achieve when we work together,” the politician tweeted in response both to the flag-planting absence and Gosling’s comments.

The Rubio criticism was echoed by a number of public figures, including fellow Armstrong moonwalker Buzz Aldrin, who tweeted photos many saw as a pointed response to the omission.

winds on the moon were reported to be strong as hell at the time, yet it didn't even move..... f'n thing didn't work, so they said "fuk that piece of shit".....

as for rubio, he should be more worried about other things than whether the flag was left out or not....

for example, what became of his "pool mates" from back in the day, many of whom reportedly had already been infected with the hiv virus:





and what about his buddies from his gay stripper years? how are they these days?

Exactly. Screw Hollywood.

And a Canadian actor playing an American astronaut as well, was another dumb idea.
