There is no USA flag on the shoulder of the astronaut in the foreground.
There is another astronaut in the background in the blue area; all you see is the back of the EMU.
The flag is on the center top of the EMU.
wich blue area and yes there is a USA flag on the shoulder of the astronaut in the foreground.
but I still do not see the second astronaut please help me find him
PS i found the 4 Canadian flag
The second astronaut (see arrow) is most likely Ron Garan who was scheduled to
accompany Fossum on the RRM move. I found another
picture taken a slightly different time showing the 2nd astronaut has moved. The helmet and 2 temple lights are more visible, while the back of the EMU (and flag) is not.
