The session moderator at the US Center for Strategic and International Studies (an influential Washington think tank created 56 years ago "to maintain American prominence and prosperity as a force for good in the world") accused Russia of not having been in space for the past seven years. Not a single black. Oh, sorry, African American.
RIA Novosti quotes an excerpt from the moderator's angry speech: "Fifty-two astronauts were launched by the Russians. Interestingly, none of them was African American. That is, since 2011, not a single African American from NASA has been in orbit! This should have changed last June. Janette Epps was supposed to fly. She was excluded from this mission. And this raises the question: what is going on? Are the Russians refusing to launch African American astronauts ?!"
Director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), American Republican politician James Frederick Bridenstein promised to thoroughly investigate the situation and raise before Russia the question of a possible "ban on Russians from launching African Americans into space."
Jeanette Jo Epps, 47, nearly became the first African American crew member on the International Space Station. TASS clarifies that "earlier, six African-American astronauts from NASA visited the ISS, including during the construction of the station, but they all spent only a few days at the station," and flight engineer Epps was to become the first African-American woman on a long expedition (almost six months). In January 2018, NASA spokesman Brandi Dean explained that the Epps flight was canceled for personal reasons. She was replaced by 42-year-old Cuban American Serina Maria Aunyon-Chancellor.
Janette Epps:
Unmarried and childless, Epps is rumored to be a lesbian. Therefore, one should expect accusations of cosmic homophobia.
