Default NASA and Diversity

The United States may lose its leading position in space exploration, if
it fails to replace quickly its ailing shuttle fleet with a new reliable
space vehicle, the head of NASA has said. *Michael Griffin, head of the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration, told Congress on Thursday
that such a move would not be possible without in turn sacrificing some
valuable science programmes.The warning came as the House of
Representatives Committee on Science pondered options in the face of the
continued grounding of the space shuttle fleet. NASA put an indefinite
halt on shuttle launches after a chunk of insulating foam fell off
Discovery's large external fuel tank during lift-off last July. NASA is
also troubled by a large exodus of experienced engineers and technicians
retiring or leaving NASA for other pursuits.

OPINION-
We all know "Diversity" is politically correct terminology for NO
HETEROSEXUAL WHITE MALES OVER 40 (You know the people who got us to the
moon in 1969) Is Diversity really cloaked Reverse-Racism?
