NASA announced last week that it hired “two diversity champions” to advance the agency’s diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility initiatives “for the benefit of all humanity.”

According to a press release published on March 27, NASA named Steve Shih the agency’s first diversity ambassador and Elaine Ho the associate administrator for the Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity at NASA’s headquarters in Washington.

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson stated, “Now, more than ever, NASA is leading all of humanity on an unprecedented journey of discovery, exploration and innovation.”

“To be successful in our missions, diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility must continue to be at the forefront. Steve and Elaine’s leadership will help NASA continue to ensure our workforce reflects all of America and to inspire partners throughout our nation – for the benefit of all humanity,” he added.

Shih will be responsible for “building key strategic alliances with external partners,” including those within other government agencies, the private sector, academia, and non-governmental organization, which will allow the agency to be a “model” and “leader” for DEI initiatives. Additionally, Shih will “learn and promote best practices for NASA to recruit, hire, engage, and retain the most talented individuals from all backgrounds and life experiences.”

According to the NASA press release, Ho previously worked as the deputy associate administrator for NASA’s Office of STEM Engagement and as the chief diversity officer for the Department of Agriculture and Internal Revenue Service. She also previously served as a senior policy adviser for former first lady Michelle Obama’s Let Girls Learn initiative.

Instead of DEI, social justice or other commie garbage, what they should be doing is focusing on exploring the universe.

I saw this starting in the Federal department I was with. I retired last year.

Just don’t let them do anything related to the missions in any technical sense.

Wonderful. Diversity, inclusion, and equity are a precursor to squalor, violence and lawlessness.

"we’ll know who to blame when rockets start blowing-up on the launch pad."

Yes, we will. When the math needs to be done and done right, reality is not going to treat these woke fantasies lightly.

A champion is someone willing to fight and die for you in your place.

These deviants are not champions.

If I were an astronaut sitting atop tons of explosives, I’d hope that other things would be ‘at the forefront’.

No! Not NASA too! It’s like watching everyone you thought you knew turning into another babbling, doddering, bug eyed Zombie.
You keep thinking, eventually, they will by coming after you since you’re not like them.

We have a diversity launch standing by. Artemis something or another with two diversity hires just to orbit the moon. Diversity is spelled M.O.O.N.
