In light of the Artemis II launch and all the buzz about it; don’t get me wrong, it’s cool but, yknow. This song was released in 1970 by Gil Scott-Heron in response to attitudes of people obsessed with the space race while social issues went ignored

fun fact: what was coined the “Summer of Soul” in 1969 Harlem, New York, there was a summer concert series ongoing while the first moon landing was happening. Find the film by Questlove and watch it. Great historical representation of that period & the social perspective from Black Americans at the time — from both attendees and performers!!
