Ridiculous.
What a pussy. No wonder having humans on space exploration isn’t happening beyond our orbit anymore. No one has the balls to do it. That shirt wasn’t offensive in the slightest, and a man with a spine would have told them all off. What a joke. Grow some balls, loser. Guy never would have been involved in space exploration 50 years ago. Don’t want losers like this determining the fate of the human race. Sooner or later the idiots will cause their deaths and the deaths of millions. Or they just won’t survive a breakdown of society. Either way their time is tick tick ticking away, and man will be able to breathe again.
I’m just glad that they weren’t half-naked men.
I looked at the picture with the guy wearing the shirt. What is offensive? Are the “scientists” who are claiming to be offended the same ones who warn us about climate change?
“... the British scientist involved”
I’ve been told there was a time when being a “British man” actually meant something in terms of manliness.
Give him a break, it’s his lucky shirt, if he hadn’t been wearing it, the lander might have bounced and maybe landed in the shade where it wouldn’t get enough power. . . Oh, wait. . .
What a wuss. Hard to find someone more spineless than a
congressional RINO but here he is.
Even his sister and wife are ragging on him.
“‘He gets so involved in everything that sometimes common sense goes out the window - like losing the car in the car park, silly things.
‘If you go out with him you end up going round and round looking for a car parking space...he doesn’t want to make decisions.’
His wife admitted that the scientist is terrible at following directions and has lost track of where he has parked his car on many occasions.
He should have told them all to go spoon a goose.
Any male that would wear a shirt like that out in public should be ridiculed and slapped silly...........Let me guess, he was probably wearing plaid shorts, white tennis shoes and knee high black socks too..........
Regarding the shirt, he needs to be forgiven. If he broke down in tears in public over the event, that shirt is likely his only hope of getting close to a woman.
“Taylor’s gaudy clothing, including images of semi-naked women...”
Apparently, the offended don’t watch TV...or go to the beach...or even the local mall.
I am a woman, and thought his shirt was hilarious.
I LOVE Vintage Hawaiian Shirts, with their kitschy Hula Girls and Woodies (the car!), surfboards, umbrella cocktails, and other goofy retro designs. I also LOVE the sexy Nose-Art of our WW2 Airplanes! This is part of Americana.
I am probably the most “liberated” female on the planet (self-employed, widowed, harley-riding, bass-playing, straight-shooting, FReeping, tax-paying, conservative-voting, Teapartying, Gospel-singing, Rock-and-Roll-Playing, Devil-kicking WOMAN) and I HATE Feminism!
He should have said “Sorry, now go make me a sammich and iron my pants!”
Taylor’s apology is as silly as the “feminists’” complaints.
Today, Kranz’s five-button, off-white vest (familiar to moviegoers who watched actor Ed Harris play Kranz in the film version of the crisis) holds pride of place at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.
Kranz’s wife, Marta, created the garment that would establish a Mission Control tradition. In 1962, when the Kranzes moved into a Houston neighborhood peopled by other space-program families, “all the wives sewed, and I began making vests for Gene,” she recalls. “Gene wanted some kind of symbol for his team to rally around. I suggested a vest.” The color, she adds, was not left to choice: “There were three Mission Control teams—red, white and blue—and Gene’s was the white team, so his vests were always white.” (Marta Kranz also made colorful vests for her husband to wear when celebrating splashdowns. At the successful conclusion of Apollo 13, however, relief replaced celebration; the white vest stayed on.)

I wonder if now days, these feminazis, wouldn’t have make a big stink about Gene Kranz’s vests because his “wife” made them for him, you know; “obviously she was under the oppressive thumb of a misogynistic husband who only valued her for her sewing skills and she never was able to become the head of NASA Mission Control herself”, not to mention the blatant “patriotism”, a symbol of repression and of white supremacy apparent in that Red White and Blue vest. / s
