Also, I'm aware that the moon landing wasn't in 1959, but I imagine a NASA engineer pulling it out of a bucket of bolts from previous projects, ie. memorable place in history, not particularly noticeable or special.

Disclaimer: I have no knowledge whatsoever of the actual construction of the flagpole or its origins.
