NASA's Artemis III mission, which aims to land the first woman and person of color on the Moon, has seen its diversity pledge removed amid a federal DEI language purge. This decision follows a broader trend under the current administration, which seeks to eliminate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives at federal agencies. Despite the changes, NASA maintains its commitment to exploring the lunar surface and emphasizes that the removal of DEI references does not preclude diverse crew selection for upcoming missions, including Artemis II, slated for 2026.
The purge of DEI language from US federal websites has claimed another victim, NASA's pledge for diversity on the Artemis III mission to the Moon.
In keeping with the president's executive order, we're updating our language regarding plans to send crew to the lunar surface as part of NASA's Artemis campaign.
