Nazi Controversy In Space!

I remember back when ATS was interested in Ultima Thule.

Well it's not Ultima Thule anymore...

NASA scientists from the New Horizons mission have re-named it, claiming that the word “Thule” was a Nazi predecessor word!!! They claim it's original meaning was "the birthplace of the Aryan race. "

Kuiper Belt Object 2014 MU69 is now nicked named “Arrokoth.” A Native American name from the Powhatan Tribe, meaning “sky.”

Plot twist:
"Rumor has it," that the Neo Nazi movement adapted the new name “Arrokoth.”

Will Nasa nickname it again?

So are they going to rename Thule AFB now???

This PC / virtue shaming stuff is getting pretty irritating!!

No no you have no idea how glad I AM that I wasn't the only one lol.

a reply to: Dwoodward85

It is sad... I dunno what to think about NASA being run by SJW's. I guess Star Wars wasn't enough...


I fixed it for you...

Ultima Thule was never it’s official name merely a nickname.

Now it has an official name.
Other than the boring designator of 2014mu69

Looks like they are retarded and incapable of a 1 minute research attempt. These dummies got college degrees? How? Is research not a requirement anymore? Shameful!!

region or island at northernmost part of the world, Old English, from Latin, from Greek Thyle "land six days' sail north of Britain" (Strabo, quoting a lost portion of a work by Polybius, itself based on a lost account of a voyage to the north by 4c. B.C.E. geographer Pytheas). The identity of the place and the source of the name have sparked much speculation; Polybius doubted the whole thing, and since Roman times the name has been used in a transferred sense of "extreme limits of travel" (Ultima Thule).

The name was given to a trading post in Greenland in 1910, site of a U.S. air base in World War II.

So the Nazis have a time machine and went back to ancient Greece to coin this word?

They went back to 1910 to get us to name our AF base this?

God, this is ridiculous. Embarrassing too!

Don't let it push your buttons. The people promoting this kind of name-nonsense are a tiny fringe group that simply knows how to make a big noise thanks to social media. Like the anti-4-Chan. The most liberal people I know (Bernie socialists) think purple-haired political activists in pussy hats are a joke.

Once again, it's a media invention designed to sew discord and prop up the politics-as-team-sport argument, which is the entire basis of TV "news." It's a con. If your child starts spouting this nonsense, take them to a shrink. None of it is real.

Beyond the gravity well predictions?
Sounds about right.

Definitely goes deeper than the official NASA story about wanting to appear PC.
All respects to "Einie" of course..

That looks more like a peanut than anything else, to be honest.

If you notice they used this term "Nazi predecessor word." It's definitely an agenda to push their BS.

They know what they're doing, they want to extend the "NASA" acronym to "NASASJWLGBTQ." LOL

They'll eventually change the whole German language, probably English too since it's part of a West Germanic language.... you know, we can't have anything that is a "Nazi predecessor language."
