It was an American funded project that never would of happened without the American Tax payer funding it and USA has every right to plant their flag.
However the technology driving it was most certainly mostly foreigner built. An international effort.. funded and managed by Nasa.
It was the worlds largest project costing trillions in todays money. Anybody "world wide" that had the brains or skills was helping, as that's where the work and money was. So large chunks of the technology used was foreigner built. America could hardly get a rocket off the ground until Wernher von Braun showed them how to do it ;)
