On January 18th, the latest attempt in over 50 years by the United States to return to the moon burned up over the Pacific Ocean. A day later, Japan’s lunar lander made it to the moon.
In 2023, India landed its robot lander on the moon in a mission that only cost $75 million, while in 2020, China became the third nation, after America and the USSR, to return lunar samples.
So why is the United States still struggling to manage something that every other country seems to be able to do and that American engineers used to be able to pull off with slide rules?

The spacecraft that failed was built by a private firm, Astrobotics. What their DEI practices are, I don't know. The first model to fly faces increased risk of failure - that has always been true.
What I fear is a much bigger catastrophe, when an Artemis blows up on ascent or crash-lands on the moon. NASA's fixation on DEI is begging such a thing to happen.

The Democrats are the antithesis of intelligence. Like most dummies, they firmly, even violently believe they are the smartest person in the room.

Uh huh. The Japanese SLIM failed immediately after landing. The Indian lander didn't wake up after being put to sleep. Those sound like failures to me. Yes, the Chinese brought samples back from the Moon, but the US OSIRIS-X brought samples back from an asteroid, which is a lot smaller and harder to hit than the Moon. NASA has had the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter at the Moon since 2009 and it still works fine. Only the US, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and China have landed hardware on Mars, and most of the non-US ones failed. Yes, DEI is an evil monstrosity, but Greenfield's bloviating does no one any good.

Some books about flat Earth and the like actually believe that there has never been a moon landing, or a toy tractor sending messages back from Mars. I don’t believe it, but the theory makes interesting reading. Something I have time for since retirement.

All you need is a uniform Workforce and shared goals. You know like in the rest of the world.

Biden would probably put a George Floyd statue and a rainbow flag on the moon.
Right on the spot where Neil Armstrong set foot.

And what's with the FAA actively hiring handicapped people? Just what I need...a visually impaired person flying a United plane. The cross-dressing CEO is all in on DIE.

Simple. DEI only allows the dumb to compete and get jobs for which they're unqualified for.

#1: Nice! Will remember that one. Sounds like a Dennis Miller or Greg Gutfeld quote.
#5: Thanks for the additional info. Yes, getting to the Moon is difficult, but actually operating on the surface/obtaining samples, and then safely returning to Earth is way harder to do. Elon Musk has done incredible things with space launches that I doubt NASA (or Boeing) could do these days.

No, the U.S. has not gone back to the moon. They've done something even more difficult. They've landed on Mars and an asteroid and brought items back to earth to study.

# 10. Other slogans: War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.
