While the effects of the Obama administrations are still being felt, no, these astronauts are set for deep space mission.

The checked the shite out of the female box, though. One of them is just an anesthesiologist.

Not as bad as I was expecting.

Good luck to them in navigating all the hate from the left because no transgenders or black people chosen.

Isn't that the typical breakdown for college enrollment now? I guess they didn't choose a HVAC tech then.

And this is the problem with DEI. I know nothing about the women or the men they were chosen over, but because of DEI there will always be that thought in the back of peoples heads to “are they there because they earned it or are they there for other reasons?”

DEI does a disservice to legitimately talented people.

I laugh with those types of cartoons but it’s a true ideal in that we should be hyping up and making these people famous and importantly… cool. The Apollo and Gemini programs helped lead an entire generation of tech innovation

What missions? When are the launches?

What rocket?

Will we keep the telemetry data this time?

100%

Men were made to pee in space.

Could probably shave half the budget not having machines sucking the piss out of women.
