‘Queer agender’ feminist physicist still cheesed at ‘homophobic’ NASA telescope

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!!”

When Trump gets back in he should dedicate a National James Webb Day.

For some strange reason I feel those earrings me a lot about the stability of her mood over the course of a 5 minute period.

Ms. Prescod-Weinstein should quit worrying about the Webb Telescope, and instead concentrate on trying to break the world’s record for biggest earnings.

As the picture below shows, Ms. Prescod-Weinstein has quite a ways to go.
So step it up, lady.

Next NASA mission should combine the best of the Hubble telescope and the Webb Scope.

The Webb Hubble Telescope.

Autocorrect strikes again. Ear rings, not earnings.

There are no gay stars in the universe.

Looks to me like she is “heterophobic”....

[Leep]

The telescope could be a folic symbol,too?
is it white..which indicates it’s racist,as well.

[Leep]

There will be.
