By outright announcing that a woman and a PoC would be picked, they’ve made it crystal clear that these astronaut qualities were most important. I think diversity is great, but making a big deal about it has made the selection process political.
I watched the first moon landings. It would be cool if I lived long enough to watch the first Mars landing. I probably have about 25 years. Hope we make it.
