Why are the stripes on the American flag before the stars on the International Space Station?
Adorning all American spacecraft and most aircraft is an American flag which appears to be backwards, or inverted along the Y-axis. This is an intentional design, with the following concept in mind: 1) Imagine an American flag, correctly represented with the stars on the upper-left quadrant, suspended correctly by a flagpole on the flag's LEFT side. 2) Imagine the wind suddenly reverses, or the flagpole moves to your visual right, and the flag is now suspended to backward, attached to the flagpole on the flag's now RIGHT side. Because the flag would appear backward on any vessel moving forward (flag against the wind,) and American vessels never retreat, it has been a unique point of pride to paint our science and military vessels as "forging ahead" with a backward-facing flag.
