The early 21st century, and we're still playing the 'label' game. Humanity has no business venturing off world, until you stop labeling each other.

[@Baleur]

Indeed. These people think they are ready for contact with another species in the distant universe, when they still cant stop labelling people on Earth based on skin color.. Isnt that funny and sad?

[@Baleur]

Remember when everything wasnt about race? Remember the future we aspired to where contact with interstellar extra-terrestrial civilizations was the dream? How can we have any chance of imagining peaceful diplomacy with another species, when we still make a big deal out of what skin color someone was born with? This is about who's best suited for the job, not what color their skin is, what their gender is, or what minority group they belong to. Downvoted. Focus on the science, the excellence, the skill of your talent. Not their group identity.

@@dphuntsman​​⁠​​⁠​⁠no , i think he’s just saying that it doesn’t have to be about diversity, which the video directly eludes to at 00:44 . From my personal point of view, it’s disheartening that there is a tendacy to separate people based on their race/ethnicity/sex, as quoted in the video “open the door for other minority women”, leaders should be opening the door for any earthling that is passionate and hard working enough to knock on the door in the first place. It fascinates/scares me that people see race/sex diversity period, I’ve never judged anyone on these factors and it doesn’t make sense to me why what feels like the vast majority of people do… ✌️

Most of the money that has gone into BO has been out of Bezos’ pocket; will remain so until it becomes a revenue/profit-making enterprise. I’m as disappointed as the next space cadet at his slow pace, but if he just had- and kept- more folks like this dedicated young engineer, perhaps they will finally get there. I, personally, don’t believe they will reach their initial goal for first successful orbital launch by Dec 31 of this year; but so long as they are working hard at it and make monthly progress, that’s fine. We need more innovative competitors! - Dave Huntsman
