NASA staff are calling on Elon Musk to 'clean house' as it is revealed the agency blew millions of taxpayer money on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs.

Spending reports from 2020 to 2024 showed NASA awarded grants to universities and consulting firms to support 'environmental justice' and initiatives that 'embrace greater diversity and inclusive practices.'

LMI consulting received over $2 million in 2023 for NASA to 'embark on a venture to incorporate and deeply engrain diversity, inclusion, equity and accessibility in the culture and business.'

Obama made “Muslim Outreach” part of NASA’s mission statement. The rats have controlled NASA for 12 of the last 16 years. We can just imagine what a mess it is.

NASA was once a technology power house. Now it has to have Russians and Musk to rescue their astronauts. Pity.

Gut it and sell the remains.

It was headed that way when I left as a sub contractor 2011. My employer would have ended up letting me go by today’s standards. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘

NASA would be a great place for Elon to start for so many reasons...

Small buy out offers for those willing to leave on their own would make the job easier. (The people NOT qualified for the jobs know who they are.)

There’s a current movie out called Hidden Figures highlighting black women involvement in NASA’s John Glenn’s flight. It highlights the racism they experienced. Coincidence that this movie is out now? Here’s a clip:

I remember when Obama wanted to turn it into a Muslim entity.

There’s probably 100’s of 1000’s of government employees that are DEI. We could drop them all and never notice. Then they’ll have to get real jobs and actually produce something, adding to our economy vs. draining it.

DailyMail.com uncovered more DEI grants worth missions that had not published in the spending report, including the funds given to Booz Allen Hamilton.

Every Falcon-9 flight to the ISS, whether cargo or astronauts, is a NASA mission paid for by NASA, using a rocket designed to meet NASA requirements on a NASA contract. They’ve been extremely successful.

Right, and who are they paying with tax dollars? Successful? Really?

“’embark on a venture to incorporate and deeply engrain diversity, inclusion, equity and accessibility in the culture and business.’”

“deeply engrain” that is their goal - institutionalize this and other insanities in every organization and corporation.

NASA's Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity DEI data analytics and assessment.

An entire office dedicated to DEI bean counting? No wonder they're sweating bullets at NASA.
