    Either that or go whole-hog the other direction.

    NASA History

    Since its founding in 1958, white man at NASA have pushed the boundaries of scientific and technical limits to explore the unknown for all the male citizens of our planet. Discover the history of our human spaceflight, science, technology, and aeronautics programs.

    Remembering Our White Heroes

    NASA will never forget the tragic loss of the all-male, all-white crews of the Apollo 1 crew, and some other people who we don’t need to mention because we forgot about them.

    Hidden Figures

    Did anyone other than white men ever play a pivotal role in spaceflight? It’s possible, but if it had, I’ve been instructed not to tell you about it.

    If you’re going to get fired, make it count.

      You forgot to mention the Nazis imported from Germany after the war…

        Actually, that would be an excellent addition. And, for the thumbnail, just include Musk’s salute, with no further explanation or anything other than the straight facts.

      Not far enough. Someone might think “white man” is inclusive of diversity hires of descendants of immigrants from Ireland or Italy, and not exclusively of English origin.

        Also it should be specified that these are straight men who never entertain wistful thoughts of another man’s cock. Muscular, well-endowed straight men, whose rock-like chests glisten with fragile beads of moisture as they shower together before towelling each other off and pulling on their tight, white, form-hugging space underwear under their spacesuits, but who are not thereby aroused. This should be spelled out explicitly, to avoid any confusion.

      You’re assuming they would object to that. I haven’t seen anything to support that assumption.
