Someone posted a group photo like this of NASA here a few months ago, and it wasn't only nearly all women, but a massive chunk were 'ethnically diverse'. I made the comment along the lines 'no wonder we can no longer go to the moon'. This photo confirms my hypothesis.
Wait a second. I remember a couple years ago, there was a movie that came out that showed it was really some black women that sent the astronauts to the moon and the evil white men stole all the credit. I think the black women actually walked on the moon and they lied and said it was Niel Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.
Just joking. I didn't see the movie, but I'm sure that's what it was about.
However : Why isn’t Johnson mentioned in John Glenn’s - John Glenn: A Memoir or Alan Shepard’s Moon Shot: The Inside Story of America’s Race to the Moon?
Why does Charles Murray not mention her in his seminal book on the Apollo program (co-authored with Katherine Murray), Apollo: Race to the Moon?
Why is Johnson not mentioned in Tom Wolfe’s epic The Right Stuff,documenting the sensational story of NASA’s first astronaut group, the all-white Mercury 7.
Why, especially oddly, is Johnson not mentioned in We Could Not Fail: The First African Americans in the Space Program.
Why was Johnson not mentioned in either Jet or Ebony magazine, two black magazines that spent the 1960s and 1970s simultaneously lamenting the lack of blacks at NASA and celebrating any minor achievements of blacks in the space program.
Why, given her alleged role in the Apollo 13 drama, does Johnson not appear in Jim Lovell’s autobiographical Lost Moon: The Perilous Voyage of Apollo 13(subsequently made into the Tom Hanks movie, Apollo 13).
Why does Gene Kranz, the Flight Director of NASA famously played by Ed Harris in Apollo 13, fail to mention Katherine Johnson in his autobiography Failure is Not an Option: Mission Control from Mercury to Apollo 13 and Beyond?
And some very smart Ukrainians and Russians working for the Soviets provided some healthy competition, putting the first man in space - Apollo wouldn't have happened without it.
It's mind-boggling to think how much more the Russian Empire would have accomplished if not for the Communist Revolution killing or driving out 90% of the brainpower...

So true, The Apollo program was the whitest achievement in US history and photos depict it as 99.9% Caucasian or more: LOOK :

Simple. It's because Nazi's took us to the moon.
