If you think this is bad, imagine what it portends for women astronauts.
Cowards.
All of them. Afraid of giving anyone an equal playing field, straight afraid of women. Hold everyone down, insecure little men.
If we survive this, we really should switch to a matriarchal society.
I’d love to live in a society where no particular gender held most positions of power or had more legislative influence.
Sure, but if we HAD to have a gender in charge, I’d prefer women.
I feel like we’d exchange the Elon Musks of the world for the JK Rowlings of the world, the Ronald Reagans for the Margaret Thatchers, and the Donald Trumps for the Ayn Rands.
Fairer sex my ass
The only reason you don’t think women can be evil is because you’re too used to the idea of women as damsels to be rescued, too childish to be a threat to anyone. This is because the patriarchy hates the idea that a woman can be competent moreso than a man, even in acts of evil.
And after 200 years of matriarchy, people would be saying that women are evil and we should have a patriarchy. Whoever holds the power always ends up oppressing whoever doesn’t.
Yeah, but that’s someone else’s problem as I’ll be long gone by then.

as a treat
And a break! Patriarchy hurts everyone.
You can have a little patriarchy on the full moon, as a treat
Heck, yeah! I can be the Ceremonial Male at special festivals and then just chill and be normal the rest of the time.
The problem is too many won’t go for it. I recently met a guy who completely voted against his own best interests just because Kamala was born with a vagina instead of a penis. He admitted it freely, so he knowingly voted for the people who want to make people like him slaves again. It’s absolutely mind boggling.
I’m not against the idea at all, but there are pletny of women in power at the federal level that are absolute dogshit as well.
Yes, merit is overrated. We should just get more of Giorgia Meloni, Alice Weidel and Marine Le Pen. Clearly Europe is on the right track…
Have you not seen tumblr? You’ll just get Elon Musk with a vagina and a hate-on for anyone capable of having a hard-on… Even if they aren’t men.
So an even more mask-off JK Rowling
Statistically, women leaders start more wars than men, so a matriarchal society signs us up for more war. The group statistically likely to start less wars is former soldiers, probably because they know the horrors.
Maybe leadership is more “content of character” than a gender issue
I look to a day when people will not be judged by the bits between their legs, but by the content of their character.
That’s the famous quote.
One single woman in charge is not a matriarchy.
I saw a Sliders episode like that and if I recall it was pretty sweet
I don’t know about that. If I recall that woman got busted for hiding men at her place. They knew because the toilet seats were left up!
Oh god I remember that episode. I haven’t seen it for so long that I have to see it again.
This anti-DEI measures are completely crazy.
Anti-DEI is just a newfangled way of saying white men only.
NASA is going down the drain under the new regime. If you’re interested in space exploration, shift your gaze over to the ESA or CNSA.
What will happen to the Artemis program? :(
Same thing that was always going to happen to it: It’s not gonna fly. It’s been canceled or clean sheet restarted at least once by every administration since inception, and frankly that rope has been pretty thoroughly pissed up.
Gods dammit, and after Artemis I was so succesful! I was looking forward to Artemis II… And seeing humans once again on the moon in my lifetime.
I won’t get it. Mars is, resource poor. Don’t get me wrong; having humanity set foot on another planet would be an amazing achievement, but… Since everything is so profit-driven, why not support a return to the moon!?
There’s potentially Helium 3 up there. And the moon has a bunch of surface-minerals.
The Artemis program never had any legs. The entire thing was being done in the most stupid way possible simply so that NASA could use SLS, a rocket that was completely incapable of actually fulfilling it stated mission. It was like the Apollo missions but without the lander.
The amount of puss-outs to the fat orange is absolutely boggling
people saved them before they were Taken down.

Keith’s 23 March update: within a few hours after this was posted (over a weekend) A NASA YouTube video and an official NASA photo of two female astronauts were pulled offline. Both things had been online for several years. This is not the first time this has happened. Apparently NASA DEI Sanitation Squad is using my postings to help them delete things. Details below.
So has anybody saved the YouTube video?
yeah, it’s right in that same article.
looks like that’s the “details below” part of that paragraph.
I’m curious: the USA wants to dominate the final frontier, how will they ensure a civilization can thrive without woman in those new settlements?
Anyways, the idea is horrific and stupid, let’s hope the US implodes.
I always remember the question for Bill Gates were someone asked him if the Middle East will ever catch up with the rest of the world technology wise. And his answer was basically “no” because you shut out half of your population, holding women down.
With bottling Embryos like in Brave New World probably. That sounds about weird enough for Musk and his fellow band of shitheads
Musk doesn’t even have sex physically. Almost all his kids were made by surgically impregnating the women coerced into having his kids.
Imagine a clone colony of Trump’s, Musks and Hegseaths. Can’t imagine they would last long.
The far right morons and the cowards enabling them are fucking things up for its own sake. They’re not thinking ahead. They’re not actually even thinking, they’re just reacting to imaginary shit.
They aren’t the USA, they’re the parasites the USA is infected with.
they’re the parasites
They’re the elected parasites… that should tell you a bit about who voted.
They are half of the USA at least, the other half are mostly dems, I have zero sympathy for them.
Cool, cool… so you’re better than literally everybody. Right on.
You deliberately choose to ignore the word ‘mostly’ to deny the tiny true left in your banana republic’s otherwise awful political spectrum.
But you couldn’t make that nasty remark otherwise could you?
Am I better than the people complicit in genocide and plenty more despicable things? Absolutely.
It’s not that hard.
If only you people would have some minimum humanitarian standards you wouldn’t need to vent your frustration for deservedly losing.
They don’t want no women, they want subservient women. Think Handmaid’s Tale in space.
Soon they will just be pushing women down stairs just for fun. Such MAGAts.
Naw that might cause miscarriages, can’t be having that!
I actually think that’s their preferred method of abortion. That way they can really get out all the anger in one go.
Those were idealistic and aspirational. What we should be.
They can’t cancel the graphic novel that accurately depicts what it’s like being a woman in aerospace.
Fucking excellent use of our tax dollars right here. Along with scrubbing the Enola Gay n shit.
It is at least making it obvious which of our government institutions are bootlicking cowards.
So, I’m curious if they’re just bowing to trump in extreme desperation to keep federal funding, otherwise they’re out of a job? Or, do they have some maga right wingers in leadership at NASA?
My guess and hope is the former. If true, maybe they have to come off as spineless just to keep being funded. I dunno, just speculating.
NASA is always, and in the first place a military organisation in service of the US regime.
Reaction: mixed.
Why: fruit of a poisoned tree.
Elaboration: you want art promoting good things to be sincere, because if it’s not sincere, then it’s not promoting anything, like Disney’s “kinda diversity-aimed” actions toward Star Wars ; art is sincere when it’s not pushed ; when something is promoted by an agency, it’s pushed, even if those making decisions and those making said art share the idea, the former give the latter an order and make it their job.
Context\apology: I think the same about Soviet propaganda art, it may be promoting something good sometimes, but that effect of hierarchy can be felt ; or a few recent movies made about the Armenian Genocide, all intended as a political message about, well, leaving said process unfinished and thus are not interesting as art ; or about FOSS propaganda with almost no effect, if someone remembers those videos about Linux Mint and those FOSS bloggers like Nixie Pixel, that kinda stuff.
What are you on about?
You come across as having an ugly agenda yourself.
Which specifically would that be? Surely you can explain that if you can evaluate my “agenda” as ugly.
Maybe what I wrote meant literally what I wrote. That an agenda is always ugly. People who want to fix the world via right kinds of propaganda seem to dislike that.
Don’t worry, worry-worts. There is an armada of data hoarders who will bring this all back after the purge. Data doesn’t die as long as nerds and geeks like me exist to persist the knowledge we have attained. Be of good cheer - nobody viewed that data before except a select few who cared, it is still there for them just not officially hosted by our broken system…it will be unbroken soon enough.
