Hillary claims NASA rejected her for astronaut program over being a woman
The American Mirror ^ | 2/23/16 | Kyle Olson

For the second time this presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton is claiming a federal agency rejected her inquiries to serve because she was a woman.

Clinton, appearing Tuesday on the Steve Harvey Show, said growing up, she wanted to be an astronaut.

“I was excited about the space program. I was excited about President Kennedy saying we were gonna send a man to the moon and bring him back within the decade. I thought it was really incredible we were gonna do that,” she told Harvey.

“So, yes, I wrote to NASA,” she said.

“Really…” Harvey replied.

“I wrote to NASA, you know, and said, well, how do you get the be an astronaut. They wrote me back saying, ‘thank you very much for your interest. At this time we are not accepting women astronauts,'” she said as the audience collectively sighed.

“And it did, you know, it hurt my feelings, but I could never have been an astronaut anyway, but I was happy that Sally Ride and other women got to be astronauts later on,” she said to applause.

Rather than pay for either her or her husband’s one-way ticket to Mars, I think we should take up a collection and send them both.. half-way.

After the Marines, but before dodging sniper fire in the Balkans.

So here’s Hillary:

1. Keep her emails secret.
2. Keep her speech transcripts secret.
3. Keep her foundation financials secret.
4. Keep her health records secret.

But let’s make public an application to NASA years ago.

In my opinion, if Hillary wanted to go into space, she should have applied to the USSR since they had a history of sending dogs into orbit.

She's Lying.

It was because they didn't have a rocket big enough to haul that fat ass up there.

Go to the Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL. They have a museum with a very impressive exhibit about America’s Female Astronauts.

I was blown away by how highly educated these women were.
Advanced degrees in Physics, Biology, Chemistry from every elite university.

They put you to shame, Hillary. You couldn’t compete, not even for a nanosecond.

Yeah, I can just hear the comments between Apollo 13 and Houston now:

Houston we have a problem here.

Apollo, what is your problem.

Houston, we have resolved the problem, just wait till we get the hatch closed.

Apollo, we are not getting any biometrics on Hillary.

Roger Houston, her cables severed when we closed the hatch.
