‘Critical Space Theory’: Critics Blast NASA Over Launch Of ‘Mission Equity’ Diversity Program

NASA announced Monday that it is embarking on a new “mission” to erase racism within its ranks and create “equity” within the space program, triggering a wave of criticism on social media that blasted the agency for its new commitment to “critical space theory.”

NASA’s “Mission Equity” is being tagged as “a comprehensive effort to assess expansion and modification of agency programs, procurements, grants, and policies, and examine what potential barriers and challenges exist for communities that are historically underrepresented and underserved.”
