NASA's Artemis program is looking to land its first person of color on the moon, under a new initiative led by the Biden-Harris administration that also seeks to land the first woman by 2024. On Friday, the administration submitted President Joe Biden's priorities for 2022 discretionary spending to Congress. The administration is calling for $24.7billion in funding, a 6.3 percent increase from the previous year, according to the report from NASA.(Snip) 'The president's discretionary request increases NASA's ability to better understand Earth and further monitor and predict the impacts of climate change. It also gives us the necessary resources to continue advancing

The amount of taxpayer money that has been wasted on decades of political correctness is beyond comprehension. And, there is no end in sight. I would suggest that if you need THAT much public recognition and coddling in order to feel good about yourself, perhaps the answer lies elsewhere.

So racism in astronaut selection, too.
The country didn't have systemic racism when they claimed it, but now they are putting a definite system of racism in place. And it is racism against whites and sexism against men.

Pelosi, AOC, all the crazy Muslim women in the House, Hillary, Stacey Abrams, Maxie Waters, Sheila Jackson Lee, Dr. Jill and on and on. Too many to mention. Maybe they can make it a really big, big ship. Please add your favorite astronuts to the list.

Progress is now measured by how many persons of color can be pushed forward. Objective. Every grain of sand to have a colored spot.

NAS, unless you are planning to send the first tranny to the moon, save your budget for something else.

In the name of "anti racism", racism rules our entire country to an extent that the KKK could never have imagined.

Followed by the first illegal immigrant no doubt. I suspect by 2024 SpaceX will be there waiting for them.
Biden's a moron trying to redo what every other Democrat president has done before and obliterate every Republican accomplishment. History will not look kindly on this moron.

Let's see. . .for true inclusion, our goal is to have the various ethnicities and races represented in proportion to their numbers in the general population, correct? Well, as of 2020, there have have been 20 fatalities during spaceflight, so that means we're going to have to kill, umm, let's see, 20 times .13
(% of POC in general population), okay there it is, we're going to have to kill 2.6 POC. Any volunteers? It's for a worthy cause.

Go ahead and pat yourselves on the back for being good little social justice warriors all you like. It can turn into a kick in the pants really fast. Don't forget to include a Muslim, a tranny, and a non-binary.
This is so stupid, and specifically designed to make a mockery out of NASA.

How bout if we send Maxine "Wigs" Waters to the moon? She'd count as a twofer. And then somehow forget how to bring her back....
Alternate would be Kackla Harris.

Oh, this is too easy. If they can send one person of color to the moon, why can't they send all of them?

Why is everything about color. Perhaps we should be talking about those most fit to do the job. I don't give a rat's a*s what gender, or color they are. Should they?

Are there any jobs left that will be assigned based on skill level, rather than based on color, gender, sexual preference....?
secret service? hostage negotiator for a child? bomb deactivation tech? brain surgeon?
