Anything specifically targeting women (women in leadership, etc.)”
This is some ridiculous bullshit.
Anything specifically targeting women (women in leadership, etc.)
Hooooly fuck.
They’re really not hiding it anymore. Well, I guess that’s not new, but still, holy fuck. This might be some malicious compliance from NASA administrators or something.
53,% of voting white women voted for this. Maybe they’ll wake up when their birth control gets taken.
I’m 50/50 on whether they send a craft to catch up to Voyager and scrub the woman off the gold record at this point.
I propose we should send Musk to fetch it himself.
How about no.
Either that or go whole-hog the other direction.
NASA History
Since its founding in 1958, white man at NASA have pushed the boundaries of scientific and technical limits to explore the unknown for all the male citizens of our planet. Discover the history of our human spaceflight, science, technology, and aeronautics programs.
Remembering Our White Heroes
NASA will never forget the tragic loss of the all-male, all-white crews of the Apollo 1 crew, and some other people who we don’t need to mention because we forgot about them.
Hidden Figures
Did anyone other than white men ever play a pivotal role in spaceflight? It’s possible, but if it had, I’ve been instructed not to tell you about it.
If you’re going to get fired, make it count.
Malicious compliance, lovely!
“First woman in space”…shhhh
Can I get the ROI on all this bullshit experiment?
He sure is running the government like one of his businesses…and now we see more clearly why they’ve all failed!
This is getting out of hand
Hows about dropping that SpaceX contract?
I know why, but can still be unhappy.
Wasn’t the Artemis Program advertised to land the first woman and first person of color in the moon? Well, I think Elon wanted to cancel the whole thing anyway (Except the NASA funding for his new rocket, of course).
Replace the NASA website with a continuous stream of the movie Hidden Figures with a scrolling banner above it saying “Fuck off Elon”
