Cool......I’m surprised obama didn’t order it to be destroyed

All without woke and "gay" ideology ruling the day. How did we ever do it?

[NWFree]

V’ger 🛰

We did it by not worrying about all the "woke", "gay", "diversity", "inclusion", "equity", first-woman-this, first-personofcolor-that, etc...

Congress started wrecking NASA even before the end of Apollo, by forcing "woke" etc. crap.

Thanks for the ping. Interesting article. When it was launched I was a ham radio operator in high school, in Florida. Luckily my radio did not interfere with Voyager like it did with my neighbor’s garage door when my transmissions made the garage door open and let their dogs out!

“I remember when NASA did amazing stuff”

Me as well but that was before obamas edict for muslim outreach........and we’re supposed to believe he WASN’T a muslim......bullshit.

[Organic Panic]

AND YET NASA accomplished this before their number one mission was to make Muslims feel good about themselves.

I remember the project engineer for the Rosetta project crying on camera begging for forgiveness for wearing a gaudy bikini girl shirt. The guy just landed a probe on a comet billions of miles away and all the woke idiots can say is “BUT BUT BUT HIS SHIRT!!!”

muslim outreach

I know the groupthink here demands throwing that particular brick at 0bama, but it's bogus. NASA's decline began in the early 1970s, long before anybody gave a shiite about mohammedans. It was all about race, sex, and "welfare".

1) Blacks and women were 'underrepresented' in the aerospace industry in general and NASA in particular, and that had to be changed at all cost. Including at the cost of NASA doing great things.

2) The democRATs were bound and determined, at all cost, to create a stultifying welfare state, and buy for themselves the votes of the "black community". Starving the (almost all) White NASA in favor or the largely black welfare state sure looked good when they were campaigning in urban areas.

Cool.

Or, probably very cold.

Also, NASA started buying into, adopting and dropping the latest management trends.

And some folks are not happy because there are not more manned missions...But these unmanned mission are going to where man cannot and possibly never will.

These unmanned missions have collected enough data to keep scientist busy for the next 50+ years. I see them as reconnaissance missions for humans, if humans can survive long enough and don't kill each other off over their petty squabbles.

I'm not overly confident we'll make it because of all the controlling power hungry tyrants, dictators and religions fanatics.

Great stuff.

And yes, I remember V-Ger from the first Star Trek movie.
