As NASA’s new James Webb Space Telescope is sending back its first remarkable images of our universe, “queer agender” feminist physicist Chanda Prescod-Weinstein wants you to know she remains miffed at the telescope’s moniker.
Late last year, the University of New Hampshire professor and three other scientists demanded NASA ditch Webb’s name from the project due to his alleged homophobia.
Prior to Webb’s appointment as head of NASA in 1961, he allegedly played a role in the so-called “Lavender Scare” as a State Department official. In response to a petition started by Prescod-Weinstein et. al., NASA investigated the issue last summer but concluded there was “no evidence at this point that warrants changing the name of the [telescope].”
In a recent Twitter thread, Prescod-Weinstein said a Freedom of Information Act request shows that a NASA astronomer was assigned to “impugn” her concerns about the telescope name.
“In December 2021 [astronomer Hakeem] Oluseyi released a blog entry that in my opinion cherry-picks history to argue that JW [James Webb] was being unfairly attacked,” Prescod-Weinstein tweeted. “[I]t argued that JW wasn’t responsible for homophobia that happened on JW’s watch. Arguing that managers aren’t responsible for homophobia that happens on their watch is troubling coming from astronomers because many of us are managers — I manage a research group with three students and a postdoc. We are responsible for what happens!!”
If you don’t have a life try to get noticed.
“Queer Agenda.” BS made up for ugly women who aren’t gay, who are still mad Chad wouldn’t date them, but want the power that the victimhood status brings with it.
Typical attention seeking disorder of a nerd.
I understand why nerds used to get beat up.
Hyphenated hussy of color alert ! What ever Chiquita Stein
Laz: Not with a ten foot pole.
Certifiable whackjob.
The earrings scream drama queen.
Why do these people get any attention? It is clear they are part of an agenda driven movement that is all about power. They only give lip service to the causes they use. It would be better if a separate social system existed for those of us who could care less about what these idiots are pushing.
Definitely not a person you would want to associate with.
I thought the point of the earrings was maybe to detract attention from, how might we say this, another facial feature . . .
The weirdo should be in a cage at the zoo.
Jim Web disliked perversion...
What’s the big deal?
Scratch the skin of any perversion-supporter and you’ll find a closet pervert...
PHOOEY to Chanda Prescod-Weinstein!!!!
I gotta give the win to the professor, by a nose!
A telescope is not a person. The name attached to an object is not the object. The attributes of a human do not apply to an object which has the same name of that human. (Telescopes, statues, buildings, asteroids, ships do not become the person whose name they bear)
Delusional leftists cannot understand that.
Most feminazis are mentally disturbed and hate men because their high school male classmates rejected them.
“alleged”?
Prove it of shut up.
First she’s a guy.
Seconf, it should look like a phallic symbol. Make it shperical and...useless.
That’s a big nose.😳
