A scientist with decades of experience working with NASA spoke bluntly with Revolver about the nature of the problem.
“NASA is clearly more focused on ‘diversity’ set asides than technological achievement —when I submit a NASA grant application I focus more on making sure my team looks diverse and I’ve got the right outreach buzzwords than on the science,” the scientist said.
Close your eyes and try to imagine China kneecapping its national glory because Chinese females and Uyghur Muslims must be artificially injected into every nook and cranny of its space program’s leadership, science and engineering personnel, and specific mission team selection.
No, China systematically prioritizes National Greatness over Racial And Gender Grievance. The United States used to prioritize greatness as well, and in fact became the greatest space-faring nation ever to exist on account of its singular dedication to victory and excellence. But our priorities have now changed and our supremacy in the 21st century is increasingly uncertain, even doubtful, as a result.
Greatness VS. Grievance: Choose One
It is hard to overstateNASA’s emphasis on “diversity, inclusion and equity” over any actual achievements in recent history.
In July 2010, President Obama’s NASA Chief Charles Bolden told Al-Jazeera:
When I became the NASA administrator, [President Obama] charged me with three things.
One, he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math; he wanted me to expand our international relationships;and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math and engineering.

Note the word “foremost.” The head of NASA was told by the US President that his foremost task was to make foreign citizens, of racially and religiously preferred backgrounds, artificially “feel good” about their own STEM field contributions.
The 2016 NASA Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Implementation Plan made sure there was no escape from racial and gender diversity quotasand thedismantling of merit hiring and promotion standards, both internally and across NASA’s contractors.
In 2018, NASA’s “Strategic Plan” repeatedly framed hitting its diversity quotas and dismantling merit as critical to “addressing national challenges” and “optimizing capabilities.” No “strategic analysis,” however, appeared to be done on how artificial diversity at the cost of competence and cohesion was supposed to translate into unity and strength, rather than incompetence and division.
Most recently, this summer, in June 2021, NASA launched “Mission Equity”:
NASA this week launched a new “equity” mission to recruit people from more diverse backgrounds— but it was quickly derided online as an unnecessary woke step toward “critical space theory.”
The space agency launched its“Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities in NASA Programs, Contracts and Grants”program on Tuesday, sharing a video of staffers of varying racial backgrounds delivering the new inclusive message.
“At NASA, we’re on a mission of equity, launching opportunity… to reach those we’ve never reached before … To shatter boundaries and break down barriers across America,” the staffers say.
The agency said itwants to reach those who are “Black, Latino, and Indigenous and Native American persons, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and other persons of color” as well as “lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) persons.” …
NASA is a 21st-century agency with 22nd-century goals.To be successful, it’s critical that NASA takes a comprehensive approach to address the challenges to equitywe see today,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said in a statement.
