We should send up the best people for the job, not people who were selected on the basis of their race, gender, etc.

Wtf is an "astronaut of color"? Every astronaut is an astronaut of color. No one is walking around with transparent skin like some kind of bipedal jellyfish. Some people have lighter skin color. Stop making it an issue.
Also, how is the term "astronaut of color" significantly different from the term "colored astronaut"?

As a Russian, I gotta admit, it's beautiful, no hard feelings, hope the launch goes well

No tin foil hat but why is this so daunting when we did it back when it took a whole room of computers to do what our cell phones can do? Something doesn’t compute.

"nasa hopes to see a woman and a person of color moonwalking" sigh. how about you just pick the best people for the job. If they all happen to be whatever color and gender then so be it. forced diversity in everything is so tiring.

Send up a flat earther, send Mark Sargent, he won't have the baseballs.

NASA should carefully check all the pressure data before the final laumching countdown made.

[JV-NY]

Guess they wanna see what the Chinese are doing up there

[billyjoesmo]

O great my dog is going to bark herself crazy,

[venkatbabu]

These are prelude to Mars. Just to make sure.

"Nobody has moonwalked since 1972..." WRONG!!! What about Michael Jackson? He invented the moonwalk!

[harrymacdonald]

[imrytebeehyneu]

It better not break apart like what it did from the Challenger
