But what is MOST important for NASA is to make Muslims feel good about themselves.

Not only mandatory purchase orders from ‘underrepresented” businesses the feds will shower these unqualified manufacturers with tons of money to buy new equipment and upgrade their shop.

"Two facts about the Mars mission that people don't know"

Apparently MeneMeneTekelUpharsin isn't a "people" because he knows these things (or at least thinks he does).

Put your money where your mouth is. I would bet you $5,000 that what I just wrote is true, but believe gambling to be sinful.

#1 - Leftist, woke, environmentalists in the organization(s) working on the Mars mission are radical about sterility of the project to avoid "infecting" "life" on Mars. They are building redundant systems to insure complete sterility imperiling the viability of the project.

#2 - A lot of parts procurement for the project is totally screwed up costing huge amounts of money over what is necessary due to sourcing all of the "politically correct" companies run by minorities of every kind and that is ALSO causing delays. Go for it.

The source on this one is 100%. I have a livid hatred for those who challenge me when I know I am correct. The money wouldn't even cover it.

Environmental whackos crashed two space shuttles and murdered their crews.

1. The Challenger crashed in 1986 because environmental whackos forced the elimination of asbestos from the engine cone sealant.

2. The Columbia crashed in 2003 because environmental whackos forced the elimination of CFC-blown foam from the Columbia’s belly.

Isn’t using dangerous space exploration missions as platforms for social experiments great?

"but the humans might be crippled by the time they got there."

Or just dead! The Van Allen Radiation Belts are the fishbowl we exist in - likely designed to keep us at home.

The Van Allen Belt issue can be solved—but it will require nanotechnology protecting the astronauts.

The first trick to solving the problem is acknowledging that there is a problem.

That means there is going to have to be some “speaking truth to power” that will make a lot of folks very uncomfortable.
