As Twitchy mentioned earlier, the news media were particularly excited about the first lunar mission in more than 50 years having such a diverse crew: a woman, a person of color, and a Canadian.
FOX: Among the crew are the first woman, first person of color and first Canadian on a lunar mission. There's a lot of firsts happening. pic.twitter.com/TrTVpmmIdl

The Apollo 11 astronauts in 1969 left a plaque on the moon reading, "We came in peace for all mankind." A Sky News reporter seems to have taken issue with that working, saying that the Artemis II astronauts are going "for all humanity this time," seeing as the Apollo 11 mission was "all white men."
WTF?! “Apollo was all white men..”

Disgusting to watch Sky reporter Thomas Moore bring race into the launch of the Artemis Moon mission. As if the original astronauts weren’t doing it on behalf of all mankind.

Sky News Reporter says that the Apollo missions to the Moon didn't represent humanity because "Apollo was all white men..."pic.twitter.com/xuvLEeWFOu

Even the pilot set another reporter straight who asked a question about race:
🚨 WOW! Artemis II pilot Victor Glover gives the PERFECT response to a leftist reporter asking about skin color

"I hope we push that one day...it's about human history, humanity, NOT 'black history,' not 'women's history,' but that it becomes human history!"

I guess his broadcast also doesn't represent humanity.

The implication here is that national accomplishments only matter so long as they are achieved by someone who looks like you.

What a horrible way to live.
Everything is race to these psychos

White men are part of humanity.

And yet these white men achieved something that no one else had. They never talk about the Russians only employing “white men.”

Someone somewhere is always going to find something to bitch about because they didn’t get enough attention as a child.

If you're the one talking about race all the time, you're probably the racist.
— rhombus10 (@rhombus10) April 2, 2026
If race is so important, how about we celebrate the accomplishments of these white pioneers with all the right stuff?
Newsflash to @SkyNews, if white men hadn’t gone to the moon in ‘69, no one would’ve gone to the moon. You’re welcome.

Exhausting. It has to be exhausting to have that mindset.

Well, if others from other nations have the brains and funding, maybe they could send their own people to the moon.

Doesn't he feel underrepresented because they don't have a British astronaut on the crew?
That @SkyNews reporter is a jackoff. Did the Apollo missions not represent humanity because none of the astronauts were black Muslim female trans people who were neurodivergant and were deaf and blind? Fuck that guy.
