(Houston – 4/8/21) Intrigued by a new math program called “A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction” (Link above), being developed by the University of Oregon, an anonymous NASA official said they are looking forward to hiring graduates of this program for future engineering slots. In a statement released today, the official said:

“We find this new program especially intriguing because in NASA's history, we've been focused on making sure our engineers are especially proficient in what we're coming to realize, is a white oriented, racist math focus, which requires the correct answer to complex problems while also requiring how the correct answer was arrived at”.

“Developing a program which focuses on “opportunities for ongoing self-reflection as they seek to develop an anti-racist math practice” will allow us to see math in a new way which should help us in our engineering future featuring manned space flights to Mars and beyond”.

“We think this will add needed diversity to our engineering departments and who knows, maybe their new way of doing things will be better even without the correct answer being arrived at”.

Other unnamed government departments are also interested in more information about this new and exciting breakthrough.

It could be, I mean, let’s hire people with poor math skills because they are a minority. What could go wrong? Or are they saying that minorities are stupid? Wouldn’t that be a racist thing? Oh, wait, the real racists see minorities as inferior!!! They are the democrats

If an Apollo 13 type catastrophe ever happens under the new NASA the astronauts are toast.

I predict fewer rocketsts will make it to orbit and Cape Canaveral neighbors will see more spectacular fireworks in the future

I really hope this is an April Fool’s joke! They’re saying they’re going to hire non-Whites because 1 + 1 = 2 is a White construct. So they will hire non-Whites who can’t do math for space flight.

For years Whites have been taking up the slack at work for those incompetent affirmative action hires. I have clear, confirmed knowledge that a branch of law enforcement has mandated the promotion of non-Whites, and the holding back of qualified Whites. This will result in people getting killed, Whiteys getting blamed, and the guilty parties not being held accountable.

The insanity has spread. We have airlines declaring that they will put unqualified non-Whites in the cockpit and prevent qualified Whites from getting jobs or advancing.

I saw some time ago that the trend is to eliminate Whitey, after taking all his money.

Only obliquely related to the article, but...

The computers do the math now. Humans are far, far too slow.

However, humans have to learn to present the problem to the computers. And if you want good answers, you have to ask good questions.

“Exact calculations are needed in lift, trajectory, orbit, etc.
We’re going to have rockets falling all over the U.S.”

You can download an app for that.

This should not have to be labeled as satire. Only on FR do I see so many of my brethren so “satirically challenged.”

Sure, they are going to hire “woke math” graduates to be engineers to build spacecraft.

Sure, I believe that.

Nothing new. They’ve always been built by the lowest bidder. But it’s going to be interesting to see who draws the short straw to get in one.

Racist math focus??? WTH is that?

I tell you what, screw up the math and that rocket going to Mars will miss and keep on going!

copy and paste the link above the article. I was shocked, thus the satire.

This has got to be satire!

I think it is, but what's really scary is that it's hard to tell.
