NASA Drops Promise to Land “First Woman, Person of Color” on the Moon

NASA may be committed to landing on the first woman and colored personality on the moon at some point in 2027 as part of her ARTEMIS III mission – but you will not know this by visiting the interviewer of the agency’s intended page, which no longer includes any signals of “diversity, stocks or inclusion” (Dei) on president Donald Trump’s orders.

British science journalist Oliver Morton first arrived at the page for the ARTEMIS mission, which included at least 28 February indications to the agency’s commitment to “the first woman falling and the first person colored on the moon.”

“A giant step back?” Morton thought.

In a statement to GuardianA NASA spokesman said that the change was “in line with the presidential executive order”-in a reference to one of Trump’s many anti-Dei orders issued in the first weeks of his new term.

It is worth noting that the NASA statement did not indicate whether the agency had planned any changes on the Artemis program, which was launched during the first period of Trump and is ridiculously designed to enhance inclusion.

As such, we do not know whether the agency is still planning to send veteran astronauts Christina Koch and Victor Glover, who are female and black, respectively, on a journey around the moon and return as part of the Artemis II mission in NASA for the next year.

But it is possible that they are still in the list. In a statement to FutureA NASA spokesman said it is important to note that the change in the language does not indicate a change in the tasks of the crew.

NASA’s first attempt to land has not yet been announced on the moon’s surface for more than half a century. The task is initially determined in mid -2017.

The last change is part of a much larger cleansing than any signals to Dei on government websites. Earlier this year, the workers were in NASA, as 404 media I stated, I immediately ordered, “I rub everyone [diversity, equity, and inclusion] Related topics and terms or adjacent Dei from all external web sites. “

Among the conditions to be deleted is “anything that specifically targets women”, such as “women in driving.”

“This is to drop everything and reinstine your daily request,” reading the guidance.

While the Trump administration’s anti-control administration has touched every corner of the government, it was particularly intense in NASA-perhaps because that agency was considered a pioneer in diverse employment, which dates back to launching the space shuttle program in the late seventies.
