Victor Glover will make history as the first black astronaut to orbit the moon, piloting next year’s Artemis II mission, but for some incomprehensible reason, he has decided to make the mission just as much about race by invoking a 1970s poem titled, “Whitey On the Moon.”
In an interview with Axios on Monday, Glover, who is also a US Navy Captain, claimed that the United States is in a similar place as it was when the original Apollo program was launched. The poem is being used to illustrate his point. Many Americans would contend that the claim is untrue and appears to be a woke message condoned by NASA.
"Honestly, I started listening to [the poem] in the car to talk with my colleagues about it,” Glover said during the interview. “I live in the America that sent me to space, told my grandfather he couldn’t fly during the Korean conflict when he was enlisted, but he got to sit and watch me fly. We live in a very complicated country.”

THANK you for that! “bout froze my mf’n nuts off...”
Pray that white boy brings you back bud.
We didn't have ANY enlisted pilots of any race, color, or creed in the 1950s.
What ELSE is this shitbird lying about?
No, not now, not ever.
Gill-Scott Heron was a very angry and bitter man.
This in spite of having every opportunity laid at his feet, including a scholarship to the tony Fieldston schoole in NYC. He had a particular talent for the catchy phrase, and for being wrong. Remember “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised?” Yeah, the revolution absolutely was entirely scripted for television.
He will definitely demand warm milk & a petting puppy with his safe room.
He might have a point if they left him on the dark side of the moon...
Otherwise, stfu.
“I live in the America that sent me to space, told my grandfather he couldn’t fly during the Korean conflict when he was enlisted, but he got to sit and watch me fly. We live in a very complicated country.”

Yes idiots make it complicated indeed - he’s a perfect example.
Lmao 🤣
Hey, NASA, kick his black butt to the curb — claim that he has a cold and ground him.
It is OK to say that you are the first black to go around the moon. It is not OK to sing a song about whitey. If it is OK to do that, then a song about N*** is OK, too. Don’t be a racist Ahole using words DESIGNED to offend and insult.
If this guy really wants to make headlines and get in the rewritten historical record I suggest that he contact “blubba noosegate wallace”to learn the tricks to getting massive coverage of his perceived plight in the shortest length of time.
Just think about the levels of in-just-ice and whoa-is-me he can drum up when a sharpie drawn circular line around the top of his Flightsuit appears at the halfway point on the way to Lunar Orbit that could rival the intensity to expedite a hasty return to Earth that occurred with Apollo 13 Service Module Cryogenic Stir Explosion.
Hell they might even send an emergency mission to rendezvous at the halfway point between Eart and the Moon with a portable fibbie crime lab and an investigative crew of 15 agents from the Houston field office like was sent to Talladega to console “blubba noosegate wallace” got.
Heck blubba might even get a guest appearance as an “expert analysist” on cnn coverage.
Let the adults like Elon Musk explore space.
Eart=Earth
I’m so sick of being subjected to all this racist and reparations crap 💩
“The “War on Poverty” began in 1964. Federal expenditures for that war are now more than a TRILLION dollars PER YEAR.”
Btw Poverty won that war—easily.
All that whitey got for it was a ton of hate from black people.
Lose lose.
He’s toast. He’ll never fly again. And of course will pull the race card again.
Just goes to show you... You can buy a black dude a rocket and fly him around the moon... sumbitch will still complain.
nasa is nothing
I hope so.
Yeah but they still siphon money from Our pockets.
