I can probably forgive a foreign artist for not knowing that the blue part of the flag goes towards the front end of the person or vehicle.
Does anyone but the military or perhaps other uniformed services do that...? Serious question. That's not the case on the USA Boy Scout uniform at least, where the standard American Flag is placed on the right shoulder. Civilian agencies, like NASA, are probably very likely the same in that regard, as would most/all clothing line producers of what usually ends up in gift shops.

As far as I can tell, the flag is on the left shoulder, both on the jumpsuit and spacesuit of NASA astronauts. But on the right side of the space shuttle, the flag is reversed, so they do seem to follow that convention.
Ah, that's interesting to know. That jacket though still looks like something you would find in a gift shop instead of something officially produced and distributed to NASA personnel. Probably a lucky save for that artist, since they probably didn't know the about the reversed American Flag on the right shoulder, though I imagine that most people in the states don't know of that either.

The American militaries 'lead with the field of stars', and wasn't standardized until about half way through the Korean war. All other civilian or governmental organization have no overarching standard or etiquette that I am aware of.
