“To reach out to the Muslim world… to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering.”
Remember this?
In July 2010, NASA chief Charles Bolden, an Obama appointee, told Al Jazeera that his boss had given him three priorities… none of them involving space exploration. The foremost priority for the agency once tasked with sending a man to the moon was “to reach out to the Muslim world… to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering.”
How many of you remember Obama’s “Muslim List”?
The Muslim list included two alternative candidates for NASA administrator. One of them, Dr. Charles Elachi of JPL was dismissed as “possibly Christian.” Indeed Elachi, who grew up admiring John Wayne and believes that American success is possible because it isn’t “held back by the long-standing, ingrained systems and beliefs found in the Middle East” would have been a rather poor fit.
The other name on the list however is Firouz Naderi, an Iranian board member of the Public Affairs Alliance of Iranian Americans which advocated in support of the Iran nuke sellout.
While Trump threw out some of this stuff, under Biden NASA is fully woke and going where no one has gone before or ever wanted to go before.
Victor Glover, the black mission pilot, who had been working on Senator John McCain’s staff when he was selected as a NASA astronaut candidate, is preparing for his mission by listening to Gil Scott-Heron’s racist rant ‘Whitey on the Moon’ “twice a week on the way to work.”
NASA has a team that will update everything for the lunatic’s “current genders, names and pronouns” (which may or may not change on a biweekly basis) and then deploy a “workplace gender transition plan” that is only a little less complicated than the original moon landings.
“When I first came out, I did not come out as nonbinary at work. I wasn’t sure that people would accept that, so I came out as transmasculine and am only recently being completely authentic about it, like, ‘Actually, I’m nonbinary, and my pronouns are they/them,’” Mars “research scientist” Silas J. Ralston explains in a special NASA feature.
Now the four-person crew for the “virtual” mission to Mars has been unveiled and they carefully screened out the white people.
There is a Muslim crewmember though.
NASA has selected a new crew of four volunteers to participate in a simulated mission to Mars within a habitat at the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.
Jason Lee, Stephanie Navarro, Shareef Al Romaithi, and Piyumi Wijesekara will step into the agency’s Human Exploration Research Analog, or HERA, on Friday, May 10. Once inside, the team will live and work like astronauts for 45 days.
Or woke cosmonauts anyway. During this time they’ll accuse each other of hate speech and microaggression.
But who actually needs to go to Mars when we can explore new dimensions of diversity right here?
Nice. We’ve convinced white wimmens into simulating “droppin’ a deuce” on TV commericals while we’re spending millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to let third worlders play “astronauts” to build their “esteem”. “I may be old but at least I got to see the world before it went to sh**.”
I hate to say it, cut NASA funds.
Perhaps the groundcrew and support staff will also be DEI selections. Then we can look forward to some diversity in the toll of those lost in space missions.
Wasn’t there a female on the space station that decided she wanted to go home and may have sabotaged the space station? Asking for a friend.
“A “simulated” mission to Mars. That’s what NASA has been reduced to, a pretend organization for infantile woke folks.”
Yep, at the cost of a lot of taxpayer’s dollars wasted. We are never going to go to Mars, nor do we need to.
The globalists are hell bent on sending us back into the stone age, so this is just a pipe dream that will never happen. Just another fantasy con game for funding.
“I hate to say it, cut NASA funds.”
Absolutely, see #25.
They think we are stupid...
I say we reload another C17, fill it to the top (sardine spacing) with muzzies, then launch IT to the moon (or Mars, your choice)...
Sorry but their contribution to history has been pretty horrible.
Conquest, oppression, superstition, misogyny, hatred.
Partial list.
Ugh. I wish conservative writers wouldn't post such ignorant headlines. This is the kind of dopey thinking that's on the left. A "Muslim" is a person who practices the evil theocracy called "Islam". A white skin colored person can be a Muslim. Fricking white skin colored CIA Directors can be Muslim. It's like posting "NASA has a homosexual, no white people".
Allah wahoo Burnbar!
No pushie red button? I think you say “led button,” OK?
Wonder which one of the four is a tranny.
Question: When Whites become the ‘minority’, are they gonna change all the “minority” laws, policies and requirements in this country?
“Jason Lee, Stephanie Navarro, Shareef Al Romaithi, and Piyumi Wijesekara will step into the agency’s Human Exploration Research Analog, or HERA”
45 days is a long time. Shareef won’t like it ... unless he gets one or both of the women.
I would think there might be a targeting problem.
I wish they would add Karine Jean-Pierre to this “mission”. She’s so small, she could ride in one of the ash trays. She’d come in handy when they want to send somebody out for pizza.
LOL. wow. that was hilarious.
Got the latest issue of Physics Today yesterday. Besides the usual climate change garbage there was 2-1/2 pages of hand wringing about states moving against DEI. Included a big picture of Ramon Barthelemy, a Utah physicist running (D of course) for a state house slot. He is “motivated in part to combat legislation that targets DEI...”
Jeez, maybe Obama really is in charge after all ...
They faked the moon landing with White Christians. Why not fake the Mars landing with Muslims?
