Chandra 'Hears' A Black Hole

What do you expect? The agency was at first staffed by White rocket
scientists, and it achieved near-miracles, extending the reach of manned
spaceflight from low earth orbit to the moon. Then NASA became
"bureaucritized." Its successes and the political situation (the
US/USSR
competition) made spaceflight a symbol of political and military
excellence,
and every politician in Congress wanted to put his finger into NASA's
pie.
Of course, things started going wrong.

Then NASA became subject to Equal Opportunity (i.e. Reverse
Discrimination)
laws. Blacks began to appear front of the TV cameras as "spokesmen" for
any
space missions that were not (so far) having any trouble. During the
televised Mars Pathfinder mission, JPL set some of these porch-monkeys
at
stage-center for one of their room monitors. The Blacks knew when their
camera was live: they'd start pointing at this or that, and nodding
their
heads sagely, and at least twice, while the broadcast was being fed from
a
different camera, one of them was shown crossing the field-of-view
carrying
"papers," which presumably were critical papers whose carrying
importantly
needed to be done.

So the dog-and-pony sideshowism in which NASA is engaging isn't a new
phenomenon; it's merely a continuation of a bad trend that began in the
late
1960s.

So Jerry... How long have you been a KKK member?

I never had membership in the KKK. I worked for the National Alliance for
five years, but now I'm back into freelance racial activism.

One of my projects is the creation of a celestial mechanics tutorial
website, whose beginning you can find at
