Liberals are constantly attempting to smear the historic missions to return America to the Moon.
Unsurprisingly, the liberal MSM is complaining about the lack of ‘gender diversity’ in the all-male crew of the Artemis III mission.
The globalist hacks are terrified by the fact that Donald J. Trump will take US astronauts back to lunar soil, and inscribe his name even more in the history books.
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman responded to complaints about the crew selection by saying that the astronauts were chosen based solely ‘on their experience, skill sets and availability’.
Ambitious is what we do at NASA.
Artemis III will be unlike anything we’ve ever undertaken. A multi-launch campaign bringing together the most powerful rockets in the world to test rendezvous, docking, and interoperability across multiple systems close to Earth before we return… pic.twitter.com/wzYoDpiXyv

CBS News reported:
“Isaacman wrote on the social media platform X that ‘I have seen reactions ranging from disappointment to outrage’.
[…] Isaacman said he had ‘personally been to space twice with 50 percent female crews. My closest advisors and some of the smartest engineers I know are women. In our latest NASA leadership organization, nearly 50 percent of the center directors and mission directorate leadership are women. […] The last astronaut candidate class selected under this administration was majority female [six women and four men] because they were the best of the best, including one astronaut [Anna Menon] I previously went to space with.’”

Starting with some energy, and my inability to write brief updates, I am just extremely proud of the NASA crew, our industry, and our international partners. We are getting into a rhythm here at NASA. Earlier this year, setbacks put the Artemis II rocket back in the VAB for…

In a world with so much controversy, I hope this can be a moment where we celebrate the astronauts selected, respect the integrity of the process, and recognize the extraordinary depth of talent across the entire corps. The crew selection does not involve any political appointees. The Astronaut Office assigns the crew that gives the mission the best chance of meeting its objectives, taking into account many factors, including the background and expertise of the astronauts, such as test pilot experience, development work on specific programs, and availability. For example, those raising this concern may not be aware of the pipeline of crews already preparing to launch to the Space Station, or those who have been undergoing lunar-specific training that would be a better fit for a future surface mission.
The Artemis III astronauts are experienced, qualified, and deserve to be celebrated for the mission they have been assigned, just as the crews that follow will be celebrated when their time comes. We have an extraordinary astronaut corps, and every mission and every crew is part of a larger campaign to get America back to the Moon and to build the future we all dreamed about as children.”
