Do they offer a Content of Character Award instead? I think I might qualify. Plenty of people have, over the years, claimed: “You’re quite the character.”
Jokes aside, we need some people on the right to put together a be nice, don’t be racist, and here are what the laws say series of classes so that their are alternatives to the progressive Marxist white devil indoctrination stuff.
Those classes have been ongoing for 20+ years in aerospace. In California they got progressively more intrusive until they required that if you just hear somebody mention something about their being oppressed in some way you were required to report that to the manager so it could be remedied. Not doing so could get you sued and/or fired – which is California law. At that point, whites were not actively targeted, but were indicated by obvious omission.
I don’t know if that’s enough to overcome my early exposure to Dr. Seuss. I mean, why would I hire a plain belly Sneech instead of a star bellied Sneech if all they’re going spend all their time bitching and whining and not having a star on their belly?
I was just catching JPL’s press update on the Perseverance mission. Youtube link

As the Perseverance team celebrates the rover’s first successful drive on the surface of Mars, I am honored and excited to announce that Perseverance’s landing site is now called Octavia E Butler Landing.
*If you could bring up K2 please.*
The Perseverance science team has chosen to name the touchdown site for Octavia E Butler, visionary author and Pasadena California native, who is the first African American woman to win both the Hugo Award and Nebula Prize for science fiction, and the first science fiction writer to be awarded a MacArthur Fellowship.
Butler’s pioneering works explored themes of race, gender, equality, and humanity, centering on the experiences of black women, at a time when such voices were largely absent from science fiction. Butler’s protagonists embodied determination and inventiveness, making her a perfect fit for the Perseverance rover mission and its theme of overcoming challenges. Butler inspired and influenced the planetary science community and many beyond, including those typically underrepresented in STEM fields, and the fact that her works are as relevant today, if not more so, than when they were originally written and published, is a testament to her vision, genius, and timelessness.
Maybe the rover mission team is looking for Confederate statues or traces of white supremacy or something.
It makes me glad the European lander failed, because I would hate to sit through endless lectures and asides about Napoleon’s conquests, the German occupation of the Alsace-Lorraine, Turkey’s Armenian genocide, the Spanish occupation of Holland, much less Europe’s past treatment of Jews and Gypsies, colonialism, etc. None of it has anything to do with space exploration.
