Considering the context (the significance of this event to the entirety of humanity), is this sort of nationalism gross to anyone other than me?

Yes; we could be a little more inclusive and magnanimous; it's an achievement for humanity (or does the U.S. get Pluto now?). I tend to suspect everything we see from NASA is choreographed; this might sell funding to part of NASA's tax base.
