I think it's part of how the US expresses it too. Like very few countries besides the US have regular families put their flag outside of their house. And I can see other countries disliking how we celebrate the 4th of July too.

Yeah, but over the top is something Americans do by nature.

We sent men to the moon and they played golf there. That right there is America in a nut shell. Other while countries were trying to get men into space and we sent men to the moon to casually play sports not because it was needed but because we could.

Just because they could and wanted to show the Eastern block that they could. "Get over here, suckers! You sent a dog, I sent golfers, your move."

Okay? It may be by nature but I still dislike the sheer quantity on certain days. Hence tumblr savior

and that one firefox program that saviors across the internet.

Have you read anything at all about the space race?

I sincerely doubt it.

Then after all that shit we had to do to get there, you'd understand those brave men deserved to relax for a moment and let Alan Shepard get the best drive in history.

Of course I understand. It was a joke. I can't believe that people think that I think that NASA did all that to send people to play sports on the moon. Sheesh.

I'm saying you've reduced a rather complex effort involving a lot of people with legitimate scientific interests to "This American astronaut played golf on the moon therefore getting to the moon was meaningless."

I mean if you think doing fun stuff with science that gets the attention of common people is just pointless dickwaving you must really fucking hate Bill Nye.

Holy Crack, lighten up, Francis. It was a joke.

Tell me your paypal account so I can load you some many and you can buy a sense of humor.

my thoughts exactly. Sounds really clueless.

Well, the golf thing was a nice trick, but that isn't all of what the Apollo missions were about.

Really? I would have never guessed

I can't believe how many people thought I was serious about that comment.

It's getting harder and harder to tell the satire from the legitimately stupid these days. Especially when it comes to discussing space exploration. My apologies.

No, you did it because you had to show Russia you had a bigger space dick.

Well, in the realm of stuff "regular families" do, there's the thing where North Koreans basically have their dictator enshrined in their houses and wear pictures of him pinned to their lapels and schools stage huge productions in praise of him.

So in a compare-and-contrast sort of scenario, it's not surprising that people would side-eye typical American displays of patriotism too...
