A Reporter Asked Artemis II Astronaut About Race. His Response Was Perfect

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.”

I think this the second trip into space for only 1 of them the others have never been off planet.

What I had read was that one had spent nearly 6 months in space, and another, almost a year. There may have been other mentions, but I don’t recall.

[lepton]

Akk three US members of the crew have spent at least 5 months in space.

what cucked moron says “physicalize”?

[DesertRhino]

They asked Bob Marley what he considered his race because his mom was Jamaican black, and his dad was white. He answered “human”....

[Svartalfiar]

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.

So if that's the case, perhaps you, you non-snowflake you, can explain what any of this babble actually means?

"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.”

then he smoked a huge ganja

[Wayne07]

I didn’t have to do anything to make him look bad. He accomplished that himself.

"Listen to this, that this is the human history. It's about human history. It's the story of humanity, not black history, not women's history, but that it becomes human history."

Nah, you pathetic, dirtbag racist, you are the one who looks bad.

[MarlonRando]

I am of a mind that you shouldn’t have to translate what an astronaut, ship captain or surgeon says. A man in that situation needs to be precise, yes? Should be able to form a coherent sentence, yes? A person of any race can do that yes? I am therefore implying that he is not the best of the best. If this mission fails, there will be no more moon shots. If the ship explodes, if the mission fails, our resolve fails with it. The money dries up.

The moon will belong to China.

[krug]

Agreed, now I look at the rainbow of “professionals” and estimate that 25% are actually qualified, the rest “check a box”.

[Wayne07]

If you need a translator for that, then you’re the low IQ person in the room. Unfortunately, it is clearly not just the poor reading comprehension that makes you a reprehensible person, it is the racism.

[reasonisfaith]

Make me.

[reasonisfaith]

And at some point, learn how to think.

[reasonisfaith]

If you didn’t understand what he said, then where does the problem actually exist?

[reasonisfaith]

Actually, there’s no connection between what he said and failed communist candidates.

[reasonisfaith]

In an exchange like this one between a reporter and an astronaut, to what extent is politics present?

The answer to this question is highly relevant.

[JayGalt]

No problem for me. Maybe for him, but it seems he’s getting by.

[Az Joe]

You aren’t worth the trouble although it would take me a minute or less. Come at me bitch, I’ll stomp a mudhole in your chest.
