Maybe Russia will put a black woman on the moon soon.
After seeing who’s now in charge of nasa, I think they’ll be ok with that.
I never thought our government would fall apart so quickly and for the dumbest of reasons. If they can do the mission. Let them.
So, is outer space gonna have a „Whites Only“sign posted on it?
NASA didn’t abandon the plans–*they were instructed to abandon them by the Trump Administration via Executive Order*.
As a wealthy, educated, attractive person of color, I have to work twice as hard to pretend that for-profit organizations care about diversity more than investment money.
Simple solution is to train more astronauts who happen to be women and/or of color. The rest will sort itself out.
The real problem is there is no interest in sending anyone to the moon.
Only old white Republicans, minus what Kennedy added on his speech to Congress about bringing them back safely to the earth.
EO’s are only guidelines that are not law. Laws can only be passed by Congress.
Pledges are one thing. I don’t care the color of the skin or gender. If they are qualified to get there, they deserve the credits.
We should be better. We are all humans on the tiny Little Rock we call Earth.
Well maybe if the most qualified astronauts are in fact, women of color…they will get their opportunity. If they aren’t the most qualified, why should their gender or skin color bump them to the front of the line?
Progress must be made at any cost! Even if the cost is our human progress!
And we are cutting all costs except the before mentioned one.
Tbh should have never been a pledge. Just do it internally. Making it a public pledge invites people to denigrate them as affirmative action hires, and only really accomplishes a nice pat on the back from others. It’s not like we lack highly qualified astronauts who fit the bill.
Given it’s an EO, they can abandon the pledge and just continue with the shortlist of who they already had.
It’s time we stop caring about the us, and all us institutions. They aren’t the leaders of anything anymore, time to let them fade away and be like russia, and north korea
Good, just put Astronauts based on merit, who cares about their gender or race. So dumb that they were focusing on this.
Send the most **qualified** people of any gender and ethnicity. It’s not rocket science.
This doesn’t mean women and minorities won’t be selected. It means they won’t be *prioritized* just because of their identity.
I would be more upset if there was an actual reason to put more people on the moon. They’ve been saying for decades there’s no reason to put anyone else on the moon. Shouldn’t have been a plan from the beginning
Nasa should plant a rainbow flag to 0wn the alt-right incels 😂
I get why people are assuming this is code for “white dudes only.” But maybe, just maybe, women and people of color are capable of being the best. Maybe a quota is not required to realize diversity. If we take this policy at face value, no one is being excluded. What bothers me about the backlash to this policy change is the lack of confidence people seem to have in certain people’s ability to make the cut.
