NASA 2022 motto
“Repeating what we did 50 years ago but with wokeness, gender diversity and equality..and shuddup about the cost”
Anybody think the best and the brightest are at NASA like the Apollo program?
I detest the “wokeness, gender diversity and equality” but not sure what they have to do with a leaking seal in a quick-disconnect fitting.
No, not today. The engineers that are chosen on merit are the equal and superior to those of the past. Those that have their positions not based on merit are inferior.
Ben Carson a black pediatric neurosurgeon is at the top of the game in skill. John Hopkins thought so. As my children are now grown it is not a subject. If I needed a neurosurgeon for them when children I would have wanted Ben Carson. His color means nothing to me. His skills mean everything to me.
ps
Dad worked on Apollo. He was working with the escape rocket system if a launch failure occurred. Most fortunately never needed. This lack of such was a fatal flaw in the Shuttle Launch System.
Most likely the best and brightest are working in the private sector of space.
Over $30 Billion tax payer money spent on this program and it is still
having issues. For that kind of money it should have launched on time
several days ago. Where did NASA spend the money?
The best and brightest at NASA are at Goddard space center where all the unmanned probe work is. The ones at Kennedy, not so much.
Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo were accomplished with paper, pencil, and slide rules.
Today with all our super-duper supercomputers and hi-tech equipment they couldn’t even dream of back then, they can’t get it up. Pun intended, by the way.
I’m a space buff from the Mercury program on, and I’m really getting disgusted with our “ woke” space program. They had better WAKE UP and start getting 💩 right!
Let’s send em some duct tape…
Proud to say that I was working at Manned Spacecraft Center (later Johnson) during the Apollo program. We’ve been there. Nothing there. No reason to go back. Enormous waste of money.
