The early 21st century, and we're still playing the 'label' game.

Humanity has no business venturing off world, until you stop labeling each other.

always warms up my heart to see how amazon is using women, people of color and children to show how social and loving they are. it almost makes me forget how amazon is treating their slaves and avoids paying taxes.

Why does minority, color, ethnicity, always have to brought up? Thought that crap was over

[MrArcticPOWER]

I was a big supporter until you guys started to shove your DEI down our throats. If she is truly competent for the job, who tf cares what she looks like?

Shoshauna Harrison Taylor, how do you really feel about Blue Origin? . . .

Remember when everything wasnt about race?
Remember the future we aspired to where contact with interstellar extra-terrestrial civilizations was the dream?
How can we have any chance of imagining peaceful diplomacy with another species, when we still make a big deal out of what skin color someone was born with? This is about who's best suited for the job, not what color their skin is, what their gender is, or what minority group they belong to.
Downvoted. Focus on the science, the excellence, the skill of your talent. Not their group identity.

Meritocracy matters more than checking off a checkbox. #StopTheWokeMindVirus

Blue Origin is back again with adverts, we haven't even seen a stack, much less a static fire...

[_Sinsino_]

SpaceX hires people based on their talent, and Blue Origin hires people based on their skin color, the best part is we all know the result.

...somebody wake me up when Blue Origin actually produces something that makes it to orbit.

[asmael]

Nothing's more annoying than the diversity hire justification videos.

[dougbrinklow]

They're really trying! (To do what, I have no idea.)

[sig]

Not even launched a single orbital mission but y'all are concerned with virtue signalling? I think your guys' focus should be on more important stuff...

[MrWhitenoise]

do these videos keep the hype train running ?

[NorthernChev]

Shoshauna, get your ass in gear and get us a rocket to orbit, PLEASE!

[tortysoft]

This really should not be even a question! More ....

[NOM-X]

bla bla bla. I'm black, and work at BO. what difference does that make? But yea, make a big deal about it instead of getting to orbit. I'm soo tired of this crap.

[aXimo]

Profit. P-r-o-f-i-t
Thank me later Mr. Besos.

[dougbrinklow]

I'm surprised at 2 things:
1. How negative all the comments are.
2. How BE keeps posting useless videos that simply prove they're on a road to nowhere.
Personally, I do hope they make it because competition is good, and more rockets = more better!
