In a media advisory for interviews with Navy SEAL Lt Cmdr Jonny Kim MD, prior to his scheduled mission on Tuesday, April 8, NASA touts his background “a US Navy lieutenant commander and dual designated naval aviator and flight surgeon. Kim also served as an enlisted Navy SEAL. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from the University of San Diego and a medical degree from Harvard Medical School in Boston. He completed his internship with the Harvard Affiliated Emergency Medicine Residency at Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital. After completing initial astronaut candidate training, Kim supported mission and crew operations in various roles, including the Expedition 65 lead operations officer, T-38 operations liaison, and space station capcom chief engineer.” Plus his girlfriend’s probably pretty hot.
Oh but Kim’s Asian. Sounds like a woke DEI hire who needs to get DOGEd yesterday.
