Victor Glover will make history as the first black astronaut to orbit the moon, piloting next year’s Artemis II mission, but for some incomprehensible reason, he has decided to make the mission just as much about race by invoking a 1970s poem titled, “Whitey On the Moon.”
In an interview with Axios on Monday, Glover, who is also a US Navy Captain, claimed that the United States is in a similar place as it was when the original Apollo program was launched. The poem is being used to illustrate his point. Many Americans would contend that the claim is untrue and appears to be a woke message condoned by NASA.
"Honestly, I started listening to [the poem] in the car to talk with my colleagues about it,” Glover said during the interview. “I live in the America that sent me to space, told my grandfather he couldn’t fly during the Korean conflict when he was enlisted, but he got to sit and watch me fly. We live in a very complicated country.”

Wait, why do black people need NASA to send them to the moon? I thought the mothership was coming to pick them up?
When is Mr 13% gonna get there, again?
The guy has not orbited anything yet.
Talk is cheap.
And if the races were reversed? Yeah, thought so.
Should this guy even be an astronaut ? Oh wait black astronaut ,LOL
Unqualified token hire. He’s probably never earned a damn thing in his life, but he’ll be there with full incompetence to eff something up. That does not turn out well in space.
>> I have a feeling this diversity NASA mission is going to come back haunt him......in outer space.
Space justice? Klingon Karma?
Proof, as if needed, that the woke cancer is well established in our no longer respectable or believable military. Believe these dorks at your risk. Anyone playing the race card has self identified...as a racist.
IIRC, Obama wanted NASA to be Mulim run.
If he simply has to interject race, he should be writing a poem about how much society has changed to the point where this country now has black astronauts and had elected a black president.
Kick the racist Negro off the team...
How long would have a Caucasian astronaut remained on the team if the poem “Blacky On The Moon” had been used?
He diverted NASA funding to Muslim outreach programs.
What do you call a black astronaut.....?
Space travel is about “cold equations”.
Anything else is trouble, big trouble.
They would have been fired immediately and had their astronaut wings pulled.
Blackonaut????
Glover might someday be the first Black man to "take a knee" on the Moon.
Is he going to demand separate facilities / a "safe space" in the Command Module?
Disgusting!
