I’m 50/50 on whether they send a craft to catch up to Voyager and scrub the woman off the gold record at this point.
I propose we should send Musk to fetch it himself.
He'll just award himself a few funds from the US Treasury for that.
I don't mind paying for the outward trip if we can scrub the return
He can go get his car back for the return drive
They have to. She’s naked, that’s pornography.
The directive, sent on January 22 and obtained by 404 Media, states:
“Per NASA HQ direction, we are required to scrub mentions of the following terms from our public sites by 5pm ET today. This is a drop everything and reprioritize your day request. Note that the list below is the list that exists this morning, but it may grow as the day goes on.
DEIA
Diversity (in context of DEIA)
Equity (“ “)
Inclusion (“ “)
Accessibility (“ “)
MSI
Minority Serving Institution
Indigenous People
EEJ
EJ
Environmental Justice
Underrepresented groups/people
Anything specifically targeting women (women in leadership, etc.)”
This is some ridiculous bullshit.
Anything specifically targeting women (women in leadership, etc.)
Hooooly fuck.
They're really not hiding it anymore. Well, I guess that's not new, but still, holy fuck. This might be some malicious compliance from NASA administrators or something.
53,% of voting white women voted for this. Maybe they'll wake up when their birth control gets taken.
Maybe that edgy atheist was right all along.
Some of that I can see. They don't want to continue the narrative of oh the poor minorities.
Then again, this is way more of a blanket than anything. Scrubbing all mentions of things like "equity" is a little crazy.
How about no.
Either that or go whole-hog the other direction.
NASA History
Since its founding in 1958, white man at NASA have pushed the boundaries of scientific and technical limits to explore the unknown for all the male citizens of our planet. Discover the history of our human spaceflight, science, technology, and aeronautics programs.
Remembering Our White Heroes
NASA will never forget the tragic loss of the all-male, all-white crews of the Apollo 1 crew, and some other people who we don't need to mention because we forgot about them.
Hidden Figures
Did anyone other than white men ever play a pivotal role in spaceflight? It's possible, but if it had, I've been instructed not to tell you about it.
If you're going to get fired, make it count.
Malicious compliance, lovely!
Not far enough. Someone might think “white man” is inclusive of diversity hires of descendants of immigrants from Ireland or Italy, and not exclusively of English origin.
Also it should be specified that these are straight men who never entertain wistful thoughts of another man's cock. Muscular, well-endowed straight men, whose rock-like chests glisten with fragile beads of moisture as they shower together before towelling each other off and pulling on their tight, white, form-hugging space underwear under their spacesuits, but who are not thereby aroused. This should be spelled out explicitly, to avoid any confusion.
This wouldn't get anyone fired in the current administration. That's promotion material. They're hoping for people to take the initiative just like that--don't make them tell you explicitly to post it. That's how you succeed as a Republican.
Discover the history of our ~~human~~ white male spaceflight, science, technology, and aeronautics programs.
You forgot to mention the Nazis imported from Germany after the war..
Actually, that would be an excellent addition. And, for the thumbnail, just include Musk's salute, with no further explanation or anything other than the straight facts.
You're assuming they would object to that. I haven't seen anything to support that assumption.
This is getting out of hand
Been that way for a while, and will only likely get worse.
It's been 2 weeks.
It's been 2020 for 5 years.
A long 2 weeks
Can I get the ROI on all this bullshit experiment?
He sure is running the government like one of his businesses...and now we see more clearly why they've all failed!
Lets make indigenous people invisible again, great.
Aw shit, here we go again
Replace the NASA website with a continuous stream of the movie Hidden Figures with a scrolling banner above it saying "Fuck off Elon"
"First woman in space"...shhhh
Also no mentions of Jews or the Versailles Treaty
