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.

You Don’t See Me
Al Jarreau
You don’t see me when I’m
Trying to do right
Maybe you can see me now
When I was walking,
Patting my feet on the pavement
Really, truly trying to find a gig
Did you stand up and speak
Out in my favor?
Cold desperation,
She’s a devil in bed
Scratching till my bones are bare
Pill and needles are all I’ve left to savor
We were walking and
I told you of how my shoes
Of how my shoes were wearing thin
You took your surplus and
Traded for a favor
Now I’m demented and I’m
Burned unto a cinder
Forty hours buys a grocery
Bag for trash
I took my pistol and I made
Myself a sinner
Will this universe be merciful at last?
You don’t see me.
You don’t see me
I get so tired of trying to
Attract your attention
It has occurred to me that
You don’t see me
You should go ahead.
I’m a-gonna-go-ahead
I know you’re going to ahead
You’re going to do what
You’re going to do
I know, see, I see you, I watch you
You take the money and run
You take groceries and run, too
Don’t leave nothing left for me
You’re running and hiding
And ducking and hiding
And running and hiding and
I can’t find you nowhere
I’ll beat your mama,
I’ll beat your daddy
I’ll go to jail,
It don’t make no mothafugging
Difference what happens to me
Going to be there in my
Own time, in my own way
Cause you don’t see me,
You don’t see me
I’m, I’m in your mirror.
I was so sure this was the Babylon Bee.
Well—they should go for this—let me give them some ideas.
1. The spacecraft needs to be wider so that astronauts can bend their knee to the Floyd God once a day.
2. A surgeon has been added to the crew so that gender transitions can be done in space.
3. To celebrate Black History on the Moon the astronauts will riot and destroy a bunch of equipment.
;-)
I think it is. It’s only because the sun is so bright that it looks white.
Wasn't a problem with the original design of the O-rings.
He said the new stuff was not nearly as good as the original asbestos. He said it was garbage.
Yes, politics overriding engineering is a very bad thing. When NASA made a point to mention Black Astronaut and Woman astronaut, I knew they weren't serious about the mission.
It looks white, but it is really black? Like Michael Jackson?
Nice!

Yup. Hubby was in aerospace then.
Crazy NASA people making deadly decisions.
Black Astronaut loots Space Station, Demands Justice
Another racist negro...
Whoo knew?
An entitled black grievance hustler.
Should all the white people at NASA’s control center walk off when they say “Lift Off”?
Should all non-blacks refuse to get on the rocket because of violence concerns?
p
Mars should be black.
Give him a one way ticket.
THE MOON IS WHITE.
He needs to visit a singularity for black.
