NASA on Monday announced the astronaut crew members who will land on the moon for the first time in more than 50 years.

[Bon of Babble]

"The crew was designed to represent a series of firsts for diverse identities."

[Bon of Babble]

"The Artemis II astronauts will not step foot on the moon, but NASA promised that the next mission, Artemis III, will feature a woman and a black person walking on the moon."

NASA crash lands on moon

Women and minorities hit hardest .........

[Clemenza]

Ah, NASA - didn’t they used to be important?

[Larry Lucido]

James Watt just called. Said there should be a black, a woman, two Jews and a cripple.

[tnlibertarian]

So, two astronauts and two passengers.

Yesterday I watched NASA announce the crew for Artemis II which will orbit the Moon, without a landing. I didn’t keep watching to see if they introduced the Artemis III crew, which is planning to land on the Moon.

[Blue Highway]

Sounds like that’s one of those jokes where they all walk into a bar…

[Ledgerfreedom]

This is a major headline screwp. This is Artemis 2, flyby not landing.

[Salman]

I may be totally wrong, but I predict another USA moon landing will not happen.

And when China plants their flag, they will really mean it.

[DCBryan1]

Which one is the tranny?!

[Dixie Yooper]

Daily Caller going hard for sensationalism, guilty of not really being there, or just can’t remember what they just saw in person or read about on AP.

Artemis II which will orbit the Moon, without a landing.

For diversity's sake, we are going to prove that a black man and a woman can orbit just as good as a capsule full of white men. How stylish of NASA.

[mewzilla]

I was around for Apollo.

60 years wasted.

[Erik Latranyi]

Artemis 69 will feature the first zero gravity Drag Queen show......

[CodeJockey]

Curious if the Ugandan space administration will include a Caucasian as one of their astronaut crew members?

[Dixie Yooper]

For diversity's sake

Diversity is no longer about man/woman or race. It's only about trans folk now.

[Bon of Babble]

I’d like to see the diversity of the people that created and built it, including those who figured out the mathematical calculations for the correct orbits, re-entry, fuel needed, etc. - and the diversity of the command center while it’s on its mission.

I’m guessing those will never be shown b/c there is little to no diversity on that end.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Can't they have at least one black hobbit to say "The skies are strange"?

[Jimmy Valentine]

A very scary sentence. How about skills and competencies?
