Curmudgeons Corner: 2024

According to the White House, in exchange for Japan providing a pressurized vehicle that will greatly expand astronauts’ ability to explore the lunar surface, NASA will include two Japanese astronauts in future Artemis missions to the moon. They will be the first non-Americans to walk on the moon should their Artemis mission happen before a planned Chinese flight.

Artemis astronauts should add a Zoom call for the ages to their schedule

I propose that NASA and its Artemis partners create an event on the Artemis III timeline called “Ask the Artemis Astronauts” and make it available to elementary and secondary school students in all the nations that have signed the Artemis Accords.

NASA and the Artemis partners would create a contest inviting students to submit questions to the Artemis moonwalkers. An independent board would select the top 20 or so questions. On the appointed day, NASA would set up the first cislunar Zoom call, made possible by modern telecommunications. The question-and-answer session would be broadcast and livestreamed across the Earth.

Ed Dwight, a former Air Force officer who had been pushed by the Kennedys to become the first black astronaut in the early 60s but was ultimately not chosen, will finally fly in space at the age of 90 thanks to a Blue Origin New Shepard flight.

Here is what the press release says: "In 1961, Ed was chosen by President John F. Kennedy to enter training at the Aerospace Research Pilot School (ARPS), an elite U.S. Air Force flight training program known as a pathway for entering the NASA Astronaut Corps. In 1963, after successfully completing the ARPS program, Ed was recommended by the U.S. Air Force for the NASA Astronaut Corps but ultimately was not among those selected. He entered private life in 1966 and spent a decade as an entrepreneur before dedicating his life’s work to using sculpture as a medium to tell the story of Black history. He’s spent the last five decades creating large-scale monuments of iconic Black figures, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Frederick Douglass, and Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad, among many others. His more than 130 public works are installed in museums and public spaces across the U.S. and Canada. Ed was born in 1933 and raised in Kansas City, KS.

Some of you no doubt have heard of the plans by Paramount for a “Star Trek origin movie.” I have reached out to some of my spies in the entertainment industry and have gotten the following scenario.

The plan is to hire former President Trump to do a cameo announcing the creation of the United States Space Force to a cheering crowd. They point to the example of hiring Stacy Abrams to play President of Earth in that Star Trek: Discovery episode.

The next scene is of a character who looks remarkably like @ElonMusk hearing the news and then typing into the social media platform: “So Star Fleet begins.”

Fast forward a few decades and we see the future Musk Mars colony. In orbit, we see a SpaceX Starship outfitted with warp nacelles. Zephron Cochrane is at the SpaceX headquarters at the Mars colony getting ready for the first expedition to Alpha Centauri. Exciting adventures ensue.
