    1. Heh, I wonder, did he invade her “Safe Space”?

      Can we even call “Space” Space? I mean, it’s not very safe in space, and there is certainly a lot of space. There will certainly be no safe space in space. That must be a terrifying concept for them

    2. The Green Skinned are the Orions. Not that I have a particular interest in Orions. I mean, it was only a few episodes of dancing… and a movie.. and.. But I mean it’s only green… and skimpy costumes… Did I mention the dancing? 😉

  2. I’m glad I let my subscription to NG lapse many years ago. In the last 50 years, that publication went from a celebration of heroic exploration and achievement to a milquetoast rag suitable only for SJWs.

    How long will it be before NG renounces people like Robert Peary and William Beebe, both of whom were supported by that organization?

    By the way, I don’t recommend its docu-fiction TV series Mars. It was shown on NG’s channel a few years ago, and I thought it was dreadful. Apparently, a second set of episodes is either being broadcast or about to be. If you do watch it, though, don’t expect Apollo 13 or From the Earth to the Moon.

    1. I am thinking about letting my subscription lapse. I’ve noticed the same decline as you.

      It’s to bad since my dad and I used to collect them. I’ve kept doing it since he passed 30 years ago. We even have one copy from the beginning of the century featuring a story written by someone on the last clipper to round Cape Horn.

      Sad.

    2. NG has been this way for decades now. I remember going to the library when I was in seventh grade back in 1975, scouring the NG magazines for articles on global cooling for a book report I was doing. The earth was supposed to be in a catastrophic ice age by now. The magazines were filled with the same moralizing, sky-is-falling, man-is-bad, preaching that you see on the subject of global warming today.

    3. “I’m glad I let my subscription to NG lapse many years ago. In the last 50 years, that publication went from a celebration of heroic exploration and achievement to a milquetoast rag suitable only for SJWs.”

      You and me both, B A. It became nothing but a rag for hand-wringers and bed-wetters. Natural Catastrophic, I call it: rising seas, unprecedented species decline, torrid polar regions, evil oil, etc., etc. Disney with big words, that’s all it is.

    4. ‘Mars’? pure ‘Star DREK’. ghastly stuff. did it get any better after the 1st ep.?

      p.s. the same thing happened with ‘Cdn Geographic’.

  3. For future reference, they are more likely to get the message if you simply ignore them. The message being, of course, that no one cares what they think, as long as they pick up after their dog.

  4. Just imagine if space explorers landed on Mars and found Climate Barbie and Nancy Pelosi waiting.

  5. FTA: “I think that one of the very first steps forward is to stop having our narratives about space only coming from people who are extremely privileged, which in this space means predominantly rich, white, male venture capitalists. That’s really who’s driving a lot of the narratives that are used, and why there’s not a lot of forethought or response to critiques about those frontier, colonialist narratives.”

    Well, the australian aborigine space program has yet to launch anything higher than about 10 meters. So give me a call when they get to mars. Otherwise just leave Musk and Bezos the hell alone and let them get on with actually achieving something.

  6. One small step for man, and a bloody awful large step for Stupidity…
    SJW. leaving no stone unturned in their quest to neuter modern society.

    As noted above, my subscription ended over 20 years ago…a magazine worthy at the time of collection…now competing with the RED Star for attention.
    As they say, I wouldn’t wipe my (_i_) with it now.

  8. Star Trek (original series) 1966-1969: “To boldly go where no man has gone before!”

    Star Trek (The Next Generation) 1987-1994: “To boldly go where no one has gone before!”

    That’s always the problem with the future: it goes out of date far too quickly.

    1. Star Trek (Deep Space Nine) 1993-1999 Not going anywhere, just sitting around. Wanna go to Quark’s?

      1. Star Trek (Discovery) just last year: Haven’t we been here before? Um, I’m not sure… stop bogarting and pass it! Did we get the gay guys kissing and all the white men as underlings to women? Uh, what about a giant Blue Bug as the space engine? Did you score this from the Trans dealer on 4th? Wow, I’m gonna make the Klingon’s RAD man and with a lisp… I think I’m slipping into an alternate time line and parallel dimensions… it’s sooooo sparkly!!!

  9. I have National Geographics from 1962 to 2002 when I found the lunatic articles too much to stomach. I even gave each of my relatives a copy from the month/year they were born, often found in second-hand stores (the magazines, not the relatives).

    Now back to space exploration: All this talk of Mars (male) and ignoring poor overlooked Venus (female) is male hierarchical dominance and sexist, probably racist and definitely sexist (did I say sexist already?)

  10. Im aghast.
    I was reaaaaaaally hoping space exploration meant encountering aliens like Jeri Ryan and Jolene Blalock.
    oh, and Ms Sirtis. and the green one.

    sigh . . . . . .

  11. I object to the words “the” and “is”. They are so obviously misogynistic, homophobic, racist, capitalistic, islamophobic….

    Let’s all speak Eubonics 🙂 or Klingon

    Not

  12. Wow
    Nadia Drake and Lucianne Walkowicz sure are letting loose with their hatred of the Goyim in that NG article.
    Aren’t they?

  14. The cover article on gender was the last straw for me. I got my renewal notice the same week and just sent it back. We’re in the process of moving, and I trimmed my NG collection down. Looking back at the old ones, it’s gone from showcasing scientific achievement and progress to SJW handwringing. Too bad.
