Here's the thing, though. When the Telegraph asked Glover about being the first black astronaut to make this journey, his response didn’t exactly follow the usual script.
He said: "It is a big question, and I wanna highlight, I guess maybe one facet of this is the tension, I call it. I live in this, and you know, this dichotomy between happiness that a young woman can look at Christina and just physicalize her, her passion or her interests, or even if it's not something she wants to do, she can just be like, 'Girl power,' and that's awesome.”

The only thing that bothers me about the fellow’s answer is that it’s a little, um, street?

what the hell did I just read?
God bless them all and safe return journey.
Before DEI it was assumed that everyone made it on merit.
“The only thing that bothers me about the fellow’s answer is that it’s a little, um, street? what the hell did I just read?”
I think your complaint about his language is more an artifact of something in you than it is an objective assessment of Victor Glover’s language.
Maybe you’re a snowflake. Don’t misunderstand, you have every right.
But you’re way overreacting about Glover’s language. (Careful, the racial division squad on this site might think you’re one of them.)
I’m just saying that’s not the Queen’s English, mate.
NASA has gone from the Right Stuff to the right color and right gender.
Response perfect? For what? Not answering the question or continuing to spew the propaganda script or carefully worded BS Babble?
What codswallop.

Sounds like word salad that AOC or Kamala would spew out.
I can understand this guy, and he’s over 140 years old—

I just want my spacemen to sound a little more precise is all. Hey, maybe I’m alone on this.
YEP, NASA and most defense contractors have gone woke. Even to the point of human resources trying to eliminate conservative employees to suck up to the deep state power brokers.
We’ve already had diverse crews slam into the ocean or burn up on re-entry. Nevermind on the battlefield.
When do these divisive, bullshit questions cease?
If you’re on the team, you better worry more about doing a good job than anything else.
“It is a big question, and I wanna highlight, I guess maybe one facet of this is the tension, I call it.”
Do you think this astronaut realizes that he may just be the token black member? The woman too. Did they get there on merit or for any scientific purpose?
“It’s about human history. It’s the story of humanity, not black history, not women’s history “
Seems plenty clear to me.
let’s just say if I’m on a gurney, and I need brain surgery, and I overhear my surgeon saying something like that, I’m going to get off of the gurney with the tubes still hanging in my brain, and I’m going to say, “ you know what guys, I’ll be right back. I’ve got a cigarette going back there..”
And then I’ll point and just run like hell
Now a days, that’s “the King’s English”, mate.
This crew has very little experience.
I think this the second trip into space for only 1 of them the others have never been off planet.
That’s what had me scratching my head.
I’m so not into this new EMO world. The Apollo team was all business and zero emotion. All talk then was about the mission.
The wokeness takes the fun out of it.
maybe they just remote pilot it from Florida
