DEI is Wrecking the Space Program

We put a man on the Moon in 1969, but that was racist and sexist, because we put a White man on the Moon, and did it all with White male engineers. Even worse, one of the leaders was a German Nazi.

That is now embarrassing, so they made a movie about how all the calculations were done by Black women.

Nobody believed that, so the feds started the Artemis program to put a Black woman on the Moon, using DEI engineers. It has spent about $100 billion already, and a lunar landing is still 5-10 years away.

Now it is in danger:

NASA's plagued Space Launch System rocket, which is being developed to deliver the first astronauts to the Moon in over half a century, is on thin ice.

According to Ars Technica senior space reporter Eric Berger's insider sources, there's an "at least 50-50" chance that the rocket "will be canceled."

"Not Block 1B. Not Block 2," he added, referring to the variant that was used during NASA's uncrewed Artemis I test flight in 2022 and a more powerful design with a much higher translunar injection payload capacity, respectively. "All of it."

NASA spending is often justified as advancing technology, but this is not even doing that. The SpaceX rockets are reusable. The Artemis rockets are not. It is obsolete already.

The problem here is that the government now hires and operates based on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion now, while in the 1960s it was able to get the best and smartest for the Apollo program.
