Buzz Aldrin takes a SWIPE at Hollywood movie refusing to show famous flag scene

by The Right Scoop

Buzz Aldrin is making clear his position on the controversy generated by Hollywood’s ‘First Man’ movie refusing to show the American flag being planted on the moon.

FOX NEWS – Legendary Apollo 11 astronaut Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin took a swipe at the upcoming movie “First Man” late Sunday for its director’s decision not to show the planting of the American flag on the moon during the historic 1969 mission.

Aldrin, 88, who was the second man to step on the moon, behind crewmate Neil Armstrong, posted historical photos of the flag-planting and added the hashtag “Proud to be an American.”

Here’s his tweet:

Reports are that he also retweeted this photo, though I can’t find it on his Twitter timeline now:

I love that Aldrin is tweeting this photo. It’s not just iconic, but in the words of Neil Armstrong himself its “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”

How Hollywood can leave out such a scene is beyond me, but I can tell you one thing. I won’t be going to see the film and I expect I’m not the only one. I fully expect the film to tank.
