OK, how about when Peary planted the flag at the North Pole and Amundsen the Norwegian flag at the South Pole?

Amundsen's South Pole expedition - Wikipedia

This has nothing to to with phony patriotism by flag waving. This has everything to do with recognizing an American accomplishment. The movie should have shown the US flag planted on the moon.
