Sadly I am withdrawing all my support of and from Icarus Interstellar due to an highly salacious article titled “Are Women Allowed On The Moon,” written by Astronaut Teacher Mike Mongo, who is also the strategic director of the Starship Congress.
In his article, Mike Mongo stated the wrong people were sent to the moon simply because they were men, straight, and white. WOW! Apparently Mike Mongo seems to have forgotten — rather purposely I think — that that there have been and still are female pilots and commanders of the space shuttle and the International Space Station — and that there will be woman astronauts on the moon and Mars in the future.
With Mike Mongo’s article, Icarus Interstellar is rather vilely promoting racism and hate while attempting to belittle the accomplishment of astronauts because he doesn’t think their skin color, gender, and sexual preferences made them appropriate choices to land on the moon.
Both Mike Mongo and Icarus Interstellar should be ashamed of themselves, and I refuse to support hate mongers.
