Hey @AlanStern @JimBridenstine Isn't it a little odd that Planetary Society @exploreplanets staff object to evidence of national pride at @JHUAPL during #UltimaFlyby but they do not complain when it happens at @NASAJPL for every Mars landing? #UltimaThule pic.twitter.com/qLBDpM2BxS

Yes, the jingoism is really strong on this mission, in contrast to all the other NASA missions I cover.

Every time I see the crowd photo from the Pluto flyby with the little American flags waving, I wince. Alan has always encouraged it and I think it's a mistake.
