On the first day of the second term of the new US president, the White House called “illegal and immoral“Dei programs, and stated that the government is” committed to serving all people with equal dignity and respect. “
In what seems to be a alignment with the anti-dei position From the Trump administration, NASA removed two graphic novels about a fictional astronaut called Callie Rodriguezthe first woman (fictional) walking on the moon.
The two soap operas, “First Woman: NASA’s promise to humanity ”and“ First Woman: expanding our universe ”, however, are still on the independent site NASA Watch – And probably on other websites outside, which do not risk being canceled.
“The sanitization brigade I gave NASA seems to be guiding by my posts to help them erase things,” he says Keith CowingNASA Watch chronicler.
The US Space Agency website still has some pages with the graphic and series soap operas, but the soap opera’s main page with the message “The cosmic object that seeks disappeared beyond the horizon of events“.
