The Apollo 11 mission patch:
No American flag.
No space hardware.
No Astronaut names.
In that regard, unique among space emblems.Affirmation that walking on the Moon was an achievement of the human species, to be shared by all. pic.twitter.com/Fw7Y7EWR1m

And this guy has degrees?
Via Twitchy:
If you’ve been following Twitchy this week you’ve seen all the hot takes on the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. The Washington Post let us know the whole event was pretty white and male (except for all the women involved), and The New York Times weighed in on how the Soviet Union’s space program was much more diverse in both race and gender.
Then The Nation chimed in with the question, “Is spaceflight colonialism?” and wondered if Neil Armstrong’s “giant leap for mankind” helped perpetuate inequality on Earth and beyond.
Who wants another shot before the anniversary passes? How about you, Neil deGrasse Tyson?
