And now they're being fired because they're a black man and a white woman. They're not going to reconsider Jeremy Hansen, even though it's his first space mission -- he surely cannot be the "best qualified" for a job that others have done and he hasn't. That's no dig at Hansen, who is surely immensely qualified. But in a system where the "merits" are not precisely defined, many people can be equally qualified. So we end up defining women and black people as "DEI" hires, while white men are given a pass.
