Personally, if i were to start a journal centering on “equity,” I wouldn’t hire two editors based at an institute where Israeli genocidal policy & weapons are researched for use in an active genocide.

What journalist is going to cover that there are 36 genocide profiteers at one of the biggest space conferences in the world? Some have legal filings against them for war crimes? One of them is literally owned by the genocidal state?

As we contend with NASA’s $16k contract for AI, PLEASE talk about how the agency has also spent $38+ billion on contracts with companies arming the IOF to commit genocide on Palestine. This is 50.2% of its spending. The contracts even include development of ballistics, explosives, fighter jets, & more [1].
Separately (!), NASA's FY25 $2 billion award to a company (CACI, Inc.) just found liable for torturing Iraqis in Abu Ghraib should be extremely important and pressing—and leading space workers to strike. The company will be involved in…acquisitions [2].
These contracts have cross-cut numerous administrations. For example, NASA has had a relationship with CACI since 2004 and its latest two contracts - one for the astronaut program, the other for cross-agency IT services (including acquisitions) - were awarded under Biden.
