I am so excited as I was born in 1972 and missed the first landings on the moon; My parents told me about this and all my childhood was filled with science and books on blackholes and space and I even won a prize for a speech I made about the discoveries of universe; Now I am in my 50's and I cannot wait to see it with my eyes. BUT I am sorry but... I feel soooo puzzled by the situation as years go by; When I took my son to the space museum in Washington, he told me: "Mom, it is a joke, this looks like a school project in middle school" speaking about the capsule. And then I started to question myself a lot. So now I cannot wait to prove him that yes, men walked on the moon in 1969... But I do not know anymore. And you know what? I think we are 30 pc to believe it did not happen and another 30 pc who do not dare to say they feel it never happened. And the other 30 pc are like me and wait for it to happen again...before they die...

Diversity over competency is not a smart move NASA !
If you need life saving surgery, do you want the most diverse surgery team or the most competent ?

That's the most important part. The diversity. 🙄
Sucks to be the diversity hires. Takes away from their actual qualifications.
They will always wonder if they were picked because they were the best people for the job, or because of their skin color, gender, or sexuality.
