As Twitchy told you Monday morning, Buzz Aldrin, the 2nd man to walk on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969, made his opinion of the decision to omit the planting of the American flag on the moon in the film “First Man” quite clear. Chuck Yeager had already weighed in on the reason given by the actor who plays Neil Armstrong in “First Man,” Ryan Gosling, for why the flag planting scene was left out of film. On Monday, Yeager seconded Aldrin’s take with some additional information:
I was the 1st Commandant of ARPS 1st school for training 1st astronauts. I am fully aware of US goals:Presidents Eisenhower, JFK, Johnson & Nixon: US will get to the moon 1st. & we did. 1st step was getting above MACH 1. We did that 1st, too https://t.co/d3wfNqSdha @therealbuzz https://t.co/nANBLqjw9v

That’s a Mach-2 roundhouse to Hollywood PC right there.

Wasn't for you Mr. Yeager, and a few other who flew by their gut instincts and courage, none of it would have happened! Thanks for your service! #TheRightStuff
