HUNTSVILLE — The presidential order to end federal diversity, equity and inclusion programs now includes NASA and the Artemis mission to the moon.

Other actions following President Trump’s Executive Order included removing language, references and historical facts from government websites.

For NASA, the page on Artemis now reads, “With NASA’s Artemis campaign, we are exploring the Moon for scientific discovery, technology advancement, and to learn how to live and work on another world as we prepare for human missions to Mars. We will collaborate with commercial and international partners and establish the first long-term presence on the Moon.”

It used to include,”NASA will land the first woman, first person of color, and first international partner astronaut on the Moon using innovative technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before.”

The removal was first reported by the Orlando Sentinel.

However, a page on Artemis III still had the statement: “Humans have always been drawn to explore, discover, and learn as much as we can about the world — and worlds —a round us. This isn’t always easy, but it’s in our nature. For the benefit of all humanity, NASA and its partners will land the first woman and first person of color on the surface of the Moon with Artemis.”

A NASA spokesperson told Axios, “In accordance with an Executive Order signed by President Trump, NASA is updating its language to better reflect the core mission of the Artemis campaign: returning astronauts to the lunar surface.”

The Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville is home to the SLS Program Office, which leads the planning, design, development, testing, evaluation, production, and operation of the rocket as part of the Artemis mission.
