Don’t know if we should be calling these woke folks, ‘astronauts’ or ‘cosmonauts’. But it was also expected that the people they picked for a hypothetical lunar mission would be leftists who hate America. Their experiments will likely consist of measuring equity on the moon and claiming that low-gravity environments have a disproportionate impact on people of color. And this garbage is starting early. Really early.
NASA astronaut Victor Glover, recently named as the pilot of the Artemis II mission around the Moon, listens to Gil Scott-Heron’s poem “Whitey on the Moon” twice a week on the way to work.
Maybe doing some actual mission prep would be more helpful? But we’re dealing with wokes here. So signaling their virtue and, in typical fashion, preemptively dumping on whatever task they’re going to screw up anyway is more important than the actual mission.
In the 1970 spoken-word poem, Scott-Heron criticizes investment in space when black people in the U.S. couldn’t afford health care.
Gil Scott-Heron, a racist crackhead who came down with HIV, was not offering some meaningful critique of the space program, he was inanely blaming white people for his problems.
Was all that money I made las’ year (for Whitey on the moon?) How come there ain’t no money here? (Hm! Whitey’s on the moon) Y’know I jus’ ’bout had my fill (of Whitey on the moon)
Imagine the outrage if a white astronaut were prepping with a racist tone poem about black people.

IOW, he wasn't chosen for the mission due to competence or ability.
Imagine being cooped up for ten days with Victor Glover in the capsule. I’d be tearing my fingernails off trying to open the airlock and escape.
If Glover believes the poem then he believes (white) NASA is spending money for going to the moon with money that should be spent helping poor (blacks). If he believe, then why is he "going to the moon"? Isn't he now guilty of what Scott-Heron’s poem “Whitey on the Moon” says is evil. I.e., isn't he guilty of "going to the moon" at the expense of poor blacks?
The only word that comes to mind is hypocrite. I'm so tired of black racists. If you want to end racism, STOP attaching all your problems to it, when your main problem is in the mirror! It's way past due to put the race card down when you have people like Pete Buttigieg claiming that "racism" has made America’s roads deadly to minorities. We are living in perpetual gas lighting world. It must end!
Indeed. Luke 10:37...”Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do likewise.”
Maybe they can time the moon landing so they land on the dark side. Just make sure their flashlights have good batteries.
Cultural Marxism has taken over. This Republic is in dire straits. History repeats itself.
A sentence in my earlier post 83 should have read: "If he believes this, then why ...
Wow, that is hilarious! I can’t believe it is 17 years old.
I hope they watch him real close.
I hope they watch him real close. We still haven’t found that flight that went down in the Indian Ocean.
Glad to see anybody can be an astronaut these days.
Will he go nuts and kill all whites during the mission?
“Don’t know if we should be calling these woke folks, ‘astronauts’ or ‘cosmonauts’. “
How about “affimanauts” or “ingratenauts”?
His constant complaining of unfairness and the need for reparations will bore them to death.
I would certainly have second thoughts of flying with a captain who is so overtly a black racist.
Seems like every thing has become racist especially for those who are unable to indulge in self reflection. Much easier to blame whitey.
Segregation is again raising its ugly head but from the opposite direction.
No. The onboard computers are going to do that.
Stick a skyrocket up his butt and launch him that way. See how far he gets.

The very first person to try to go into space lashed rockets to a chair, strapped himself in, lit the fuse, shot into the air, and was nerve found of seen again.
Wan Hu reportedly attached 47 gunpowder rockets to his chair, lit the fuses and took off, and was never seen again
Date unknown, likely sometime during the Ming Dynasty.

It's getting so that I am not interested in listening to Blacks complain, demand reparations and constantly talk about their grievances. There is only one way to avoid it, that's to avoid them. I see Gayle King's Black grievance morning TV show, I turn it off immediately.
The onboard computers are going to do that.

either they were programed by blacks or the are AIs programed by black leftists.
