NASA made a promise—

One that inspired countless dreamers across the nation. A promise that when astronauts return to the Moon with Artemis III, it would break barriers by including a Black astronaut and a female astronaut.

That promise has now been quietly erased.

This should not be political. It’s about recognizing the dedication of astronauts who have trained their entire lives for this moment. Representation in space isn’t a checkbox—it’s about inspiring every child, no matter their background, to reach for the stars.

The Artemis missions belong to all of us. When Neil Armstrong took that first step, it was for all humanity. The next steps should be no different. Landing a diverse crew on the Moon is a testament to progress and the American spirit of breaking limits. To take that away before it even happens is a disservice to all who believe in the power of exploration.

NASA must honor its commitment and ensure this mission reflects the diversity of those who have long contributed to space exploration. Let this Moon landing be a symbol of unity, not erasure—one we can all look up to with pride. Sign and share to tell NASA: Keep Your Word!!
