It's pretty clear the real NASA is long gone.
I don’t think it really matters what NASA calls anything in space. Things are called what they are called by the people who do astronomy, not planetary exploration...like astronomers.
I bet they won’t touch or probe Uranus.
I check almost every post these days to see if the source was the Babylon Bee. Most aren’t, amazing.
Big Brother doesn’t have to force the change.
Half the people in this country are cooperating full bore, like mindless sheep led to the slaughter.
A new name for Uranus?
I don’t see Eskimo Pies anymore. If I did, I’d buy some.
If NASA changes these names for PC reasons, then it’s highly likely that’s what everybody is going to call them.
They still exist, we bought some the other day. But the company has announced that, after almost a century, the name is going to change.
I think we could very easily zero out half of NASA without a problem. Get rid of the HR people, the affirmative action people, etc. Retain the engineers with orders to focus on real work. If they waste their time worrying about nicknames, then that is a signal that it is time for them to go.
NASA —> NASSA

In our home they go by a different name.
Very funny. And it really skewers Ken Burns.
A year 2000 version of an almanac called them “staffed” missions, not manned. The “B.C.A. - before common era” instead of “B.C.” is also in wide circulation.
Think of all the time we waste on this shit. And who is better off?
It appears to me that this is a racist way of sanitizing non-whites from our culture, history, etc. I thought there was suppose to be diversity, but not of thought, not of speech, not of common terminology, etc. I like Aunt Jemima, I like Uncle Ben, I like Swiss Miss, I like the variety of faces selling products in the store. I like the variety of knowledge there is of others that is sparked by simple connections to the diversity of our world.

I think you’re getting it confused with the
Horse’s Ass nebula.
Without Russia and the US business community, NASA would have nothing to do.
