I checked out the link. looks like a very PC operation to me. I hate to sound so pessimistic but I just don't think we have it anymore. We don't have the guts and honesty to face the cold facts of reality. Everyone does not get a trophy, particularly in space exploration.

I'm really just speaking to the PC aspect of our society not specifically the space program or non space program whatever it is these days.

Ultimately we will have to have many women go into space but we are nowhere near that point. Only 12 people in human history have set foot on the moon and no one is even close to be the 13th.
