Woke hiring practices come with a cost. Always costly. Sometimes deadly.

“Woke hiring practices come with a cost. Always costly. Sometimes deadly.”

We will die at the hands of DEI.

Sounds like Wile E. Coyote slingshotting an anvil into the air, and where it falls …

Consider that when homosexuality was universally condemned and mostly criminalized:

- We reached the moon in record time ahead of the Russians.
- We contributed to a rapid vaccine against polio.
- We invented the microchip.
- We were among the safest and freest nations on earth.

Astrobotic, which had been hoping to hoping to land the first American-made spacecraft on the Moon in more than 50 years...

Sez the folks who messed up in the first place. I think I’ll play it safe, and wear a hard hat until the end of the week.

Rumor has it that the probe contains all the Epstein files and tapes, which were planned for Moon storage.

Look for a test of our thermo-nuclear asteroid defense system to make sure it doesn’t return.

“Early indications suggest the failure was caused by a faulty valve in Peregrine’s propulsion system that leaked pressurized helium, rupturing a tank just hours after the flawless departure from Cape Canaveral.”

Hope Astrobotic gets it right next time. Not easy doing what they are doing. Wish them well.

Landing the moon lander is much easier for NASA when accomplished in a studio.

It's not an "OOPS" as the headline claims.

The return was accomplished via a planned burn specifically to return the vehicle to earth where it will burn up in the atmosphere.

I recall one of Obammy’s firsts, he replaced the white head of NASA with a black one. Concurrently with the directive to make the space agency ‘more’ diverse...smh.

The space shuttles were grounded soon thereafter. Still...smh

Betcha this American Moon Lander costs 10 times more than the one made by India that successfully landed on the dark side of the moon.

Please provide any concrete evidence you have that woke hiring practices at Astrobotic were related to the failure of their spacecraft.

How far we’ve crashed! Even India has surpassed us in getting to the moon!

Not to mention China!

If it exceeded escape velocity before the engine failed then it won’t “fall to Earth”. It’ll just orbit. Nice clickbait try though. I doubt there’s a single journalist who understands orbital mechanics.
