Fake outreach, for fake science, for fake jobs, by fake NASA Administrator, serving a fake President.
Space ping.
WORD UP, YO.
I hope there’s a lot of Muslims involved with the UNCF. Wouldn’t want NASA to lose sight of its Prime Directive.
I thought NASA’s big mission was to help Muslims? Do they have time to help negroes too?
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Shake down for dummies.
Political correctness run amok!
Just another coincidence, ein shure!
yo bro it’s da shisnitz!
And in totally unrelated news the next Albert Einstein and friends are gathered around the newly-found monolith throwing bones in the air.

But ain’t that be “actin’ white”?
Nex they be goin’ to college an’ all and be thinking they bad ‘n shit
“NAI is part of NASA’s Astrobiology Program at the agency’s headquarters in Washington. The institute initiated the MIRS program in 2002 as part of its mission to help train a new generation of researchers in astrobiology and increase diversity within the astrobiology community.”
I guess the only jobs available with a PHD in Astrobiology would be in DC to endlessly study other life forms that haven’t been discovered yet. Brilliant!
More income redistribution. More retributions.
More racist based corruption and stealth “reparations”.
If anyone believed minorities would treat all people as equals once they become the majority, this racist administration should put those notions to rest.
Next will be “The United Muslim Fund”.
I was a crypto-linguist in the U.S.Navy. Pretty much an all-white group.
To become a crypto-linguist you had to demonstrate not only linguistic ability but puzzle solving ability. Cryptanalysis is like solving a crossword puzzle, without any clues, in a foreign language. Just being intelligent doesn’t mean you’re qualified.
As to why there are so few blacks in the crypto-linguist field, I don’t really have an answer.
Qualifying for this work is achieved solely by scores on tests. You don’t get high scores, no entry. Once you’re in, that’s only the beginning. Then you have intensive language and technical schooling to complete before actually going out into the field. Every step of the way is based on merit.
I sure hope that NASA isn’t cutting corners when it comes to merit.
Looks like they've found a fringe, kooky field where affirmative action cannot do any real damage.
The premises in the article are so outlandish/stupid that one could write page upon page in rebuttal. I'll not bother with that.
When it comes down to serious science/engineering (like, making sure the plane you're on doesn't suddenly fall out of the sky), aptitude and merits count, and NOTHING else!
Astrobiology...Hahahahahaha...
