Big Tech Launch, Little Diversity
X | NASA admits inclusive initiative fizzling out | NASA+'s faux pas
diversity parroting, inclusivity ignoring: NASA & Northrop boast, but whose stories aren't told? #BigTechWaste #representationmatters
Northrop Grumman launched its 21st NASA mission with much fanfare, but little mention of the lack of diversity in their initiatives. While the company boasts of scientific advancements and STEM outreach, their actions leave much to be desired.
The payload includes a balloon, penny, and hexnut for a centripetal force demonstration, but no mention of initiatives to encourage POC, LGBTQ+, or female students in STEM. Artemis aims for the moon and Mars, but seems stuck in the past with their diversity efforts.
With a primarily white staff, NASA's attempts at inclusivity fall flat, despite their claims. The agency has yet to respond to criticism. Will they address this or continue to fuel toxic "bro" culture?
