After this administration’s bullshit DEI erasure and not “trusting” a Black pilot to fly, it’s a Black man who piloted Artemis II and executed a perfect re-entry and splashdown.

math is so beautiful. these people predicted that the crew would come all the way from space and land in the water at exactly 8:07 PM EST and that’s the exact same time – down to the minute – that they splashed down.

So the problems on this mission were:
– broken toilet
– Outlook not working
– unable to pair a Bluetooth device
– communication with a vessel that’s 20m away pic.twitter.com/adoXLbt30D— Maxarick (@Maxarick) April 11, 2026
