We went to the moon. This is a fact. Indisputable, except to those conspiracy theorists clinging to their belief some sinister plot was hatched by the US Government to conceal our inability to navigate to earth's natural satellite.
On July 20, 1969, man first stood on the moon; on December 18, 1972, man stood on the moon for the last time. What happened to end the dream of space exploration, left instead to the colorful imagination of Trekkies and science fiction fans believing some diverse band of humans could navigate the heavens in a utopian future?
The US Government neutered NASA by forcing a much different mission upon the space agency diversity and the promotion of blacks. We went to the moon.
On multiple occasions. When NASA was nearly all-white, with an all-white astronaut team. But in 1972, the Apollo program was grounded, with the Space Shuttle program becoming a glorified experiment in social engineering and special interest group cheerleading. Each successive launch included women, blacks, and other racial minorities, not for the sake of exploration, but for the sake of gender and racial cheerleading.
The glory of NASA and mankind's great moments in space exploration were all milestones performed under the watchful of an almost completely white NASA, devoid of the hindrance of affirmative action programs and the shackles of Equal Employment Opportunity mandates.
The mandate then was to get the moon; the mandate soon after was the promotion of blackness and diversity, at the expense of the initial dream of exploring the stars.
'Whitey on the Moon' Race, Politics, and the death of the U.S. Space Program, 1958 - 1972 tells the shocking story of NASA's demise from an angle never-before told the racial angle.
Learn the story of Captain Ed Dwight, the black Air Force pilot the Kennedy Administration tried to force on NASA; learn about how General Curtis LeMay and Lt. Colonel Chuck Yeager demanded accountability and stood against what the latter deemed "reverse racism" in how the Kennedy Administration forced a black astronaut candidate on NASA just for the sake of having a black astronaut candidate.
Learn about the "Poor People's Campaign" (led by Rev. Ralph Abernathy), which protested the launch of Apollo 11 on July 16th, 1969, by showing up with a horse and buggy.
Rev. Abernathy demanded the money going to Apollo and space exploration be redistributed to fight poverty and starvation in America's inner cities...
And his vision won out.
The final chapters of the book deal not with the exploration and colonization of new worlds, but the redistributing of wealth to pay for EBT/SNAP Food Stamps cards and other welfare payouts.
We could have been on Mars, but we had to fund Black-Run American instead...

This book is an excellent summary of the racial and sociological aspects of the U.S. Space Program from Mercury to the International Space Station along with general U.S. History during the same period.Not for the PC or the faint of heart.
The editing could have been better.

'Whitey on the Moon' Race Politics and the death of the US Space Program 1958 1972 Paul Kersey Reviews
Should be mandatory reading for all high school children. Maybe it can inspire a new America when actual achievement and merit got you the job and not melanin.
A++++
WOW! What a book, and in-depth analysis of the U.S. Space (Manned) Program from 1958-1972 the glory years of NASA. I am a life long space geek, born and raised in California during the 60s & 70s, with an uncle who worked for North American (prime contractor for the Apollo Command Module) and actually built those capsules (composite technician) that carried our U.S. Astronauts to the moon and back. He said he has never before (excluding the U.S. Marine Corps) or since, worked on anything or belonged to, any organizational effort or commitment, that instilled such pride and satisfaction, such as having the privilege and opportunity to personally participate in one of mankind's greatest accomplishments and being part of that history.
For me it was a quick (completed it in one night) and compelling read, and somewhat disheartening as it details the downslide of one of the few government agencies that actually worked. Even if you're not a space or manned exploration enthusiast, this book is very informative. Just on the governmental policies and programs that were, and have been put in place and their application , with their good intentions and failed results. It is quite obvious now with 50 years of lackluster results and hindsight of how our tax money (percentage wise) we spent (currently spend) on the space program and the resulting technology & spinoffs we have enjoyed, as opposed to the Trillion$ we have spent on the war on poverty and the Great Society- where the Return On Investment has had the most impact.
If you suffer from Political Correctness, white guilt, or voted for the present white house occupant, etc. This is probably not a book for you. If you have an open mind, willing to listen to other viewpoints- backed up by fact, then you will most likely reach your own logical conclusion of where we once were as a nation and where we currently are and headed. You'll be enlightened......
This isn't so much a book as it is a catalogue of things. There isn't really much writing, and the writing that is done is very ranty and repetitive. The premise for the book is that we somehow lost our focus on space because of diversity programs etc. That's a stretch.
The stuff about the space program is excellent, the dreams, the daring, the science. That material is good. And the stuff about the diversity is equaling good, but doesn't really fit. The diversity industry is real and it is terrible, but correlating it with the demise of NASA just doesn't make the book flow well. I can't count how many times he repeated a line like, "And we keep trying to make Detroit better...". Got it, the Great Society programs failed.
2 stars for the space program history, the rest is fluff.
Paul Kersey is has fearless has he is insightful. Telling the truth can make you a villain and Pauls voice is the truth telling man who, even if you hate him, you know is right. This book is life changing.
Great Book
Excellent book, great example of the failures of western civilization. Reflects my experience while working at Kennedy space center many years ago. When considering that we last put men on the moon in 1972, we should be colonizing Mars by now. We should have high efficiency robots doing our agricultural work for us by now. But we don't have this, because the US government is more concerned about how to take whiteys blood and treasure and redistribute it to billions of brown people all over the world in effort to not hurt anyone's feelings. This despite the fact that whitey is only 8% of earths population and white women of child bearing age are only 2% of earths population. The age of hurt feelings and the trend that has the first world In a downward spiral to becoming the third world must end. Time for whitey to rise and say "enough". Imagine how much the entire planet would have benefitted if we had put the trillions wasted on middle eastern wars, government housing scandals, big bank bailouts, and bottomless pit welfare programs into an effective space program, medical research and robotics programs.
This book is an excellent summary of the racial and sociological aspects of the U.S. Space Program from Mercury to the International Space Station along with general U.S. History during the same period.
