Not sure if this has been posted

The Pentagon's think tank has selected the group that will manage its "100 Year Starship" project to explore what it would take for a multigenerational mission beyond the solar system, and sources say the leader will be Mae Jemison, who became the first black woman in space in 1992.

In the 20 years since then, Jemison has founded several ventures — including The Jemison Group, a technology design and consulting company; and the Houston-based*Dorothy Jemison Foundation for Excellence, which takes on educational projects.*Jemison, a 55-year-old Alabama native who*has experience as a*physician and a Peace Corps worker as well as an astronaut,*played a prominent role in facilitating*the 100 Year Starship symposium organized by NASA and the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency in Florida last fall.

What's the point the nearest earthlike planet in the golielocks zone is 7000 light years a way and traveling at our speeds would take us 7 billion years to get there.

Depending on the publicized mission objectives, searching for earthlike planets may not be the primary motive. Hell details for what the purpose of the project is have not even been released.

What's the point? We know there's nothing past pluto for trillions of miles other than the astroid belt. What the hell could the point of this be?

Another 'see Jo-Jo run' story.

Why is the fact that she's black such a shock?

Who is shocked?


I can't simply post a positive story about a black women being selected to oversee a major
NASA/government project? The fuck is wrong with some of you ninjas on here?

I'm convinced this character is based off Mae Jemison ... but why they had to use a white woman
