You’re missing the point. The joke is that retard Congresswoman, Sheila Jackson Lee, who asked about the flag that was planted on MARS (not the moon).
“SJL made this comment to NASA officials gathered during a past Mars mission —
She said, ‘What, what, is it going to go where the astronauts planted the flag?’
“Of course, the staff of the Johnson Space Center said, ‘OK, we’ve got a woman here who doesn’t have the slightest idea that we are talking about Mars, not the Moon. How do we (a) not laugh and then how do we answer her question without embarrassing her because there are a lot of other people there?’”
“Therefore they’ve had affirmative action quotas in their engineering departments much longer than we have.”
The aliens have advanced affirmative action.
Only the stupidest aliens are permitted to be scientists and engineers!
Here is an article on Sheila Jackson Lee’s “moon” comment:

👍
I also haven't paid a great deal of attention to the Mars mission either, to be quite honest. Because right now there are so many other pressing things happening that are of more importance to me. 🙂
I tend to look at these topics as a distraction that fall way below the radar of close scrutiny.
I had to admit though that I was confused that anyone should make that mistake. Thanks for informing me that SJL is as stupid as she appears to be. Not that I really had any doubts, but I had missed that one for sure. 🙂
Right. I was reading about Rush Limbaugh’s comment about SJL’s ridiculous statement. (I miss him so much!)
When Rush talked about it, he was hilarious!
I’ll bet he was. 🙂
No way that is bread. It is Bigfoot, no doubt. 😎
“Other civilizations have technology capable of overcoming that hurdle, not to mention radiation shielding and the fuel needed to haul all that around, and they just crash into the ground on some planet or into a windmill in Aurora Texas???”
Gonna need a bigger gas tank!!
“How do we (a) not laugh and then how do we answer her question without embarrassing her because there are a lot of other people there?”
Pull the fire alarm.
ET needs a new GPS, that canyon is a long, long way from New Mexico
Probably ran out of gas,,,,,,the price of gas on Mars is out of this world.
Taking off is easy, landing is hard.
Any spacecraft crash you can walk away from is good.
Yum!
LOL!!!!
Amateurs! Clearly not a crash! It was a sample scrape from the intergalactic mining conglomerate. They were looking for the presence of natural deposits of “Element 115”. (Or spice)
The first to travel will be in either suspended animation or generational ships.
Our future generations will figure out FTL travel and be at the destination points when the suspended/generational ships arrive.
Intriguing.
