Here's the thing, though. When the Telegraph asked Glover about being the first black astronaut to make this journey, his response didn’t exactly follow the usual script.
He said: "It is a big question, and I wanna highlight, I guess maybe one facet of this is the tension, I call it. I live in this, and you know, this dichotomy between happiness that a young woman can look at Christina and just physicalize her, her passion or her interests, or even if it's not something she wants to do, she can just be like, 'Girl power,' and that's awesome.”

Some of the women that NASA has had in the astronaut program are frankly unstable and mentally ill.
A few men too.
if I am on a spaceship, and I say, “ Bill, what is the pressure on gauge number five?”
I want the answer to go a little bit like this—
“ the pressure on gauge number five is 75 psi.”
Maybe I’m just a horrible person
True
The Koch woman is the perfect girl power gal. She has no kids and over educated.
Sorry ladies but she is about as feminine as a cinder block.
No, you’re nominal.
no, honestly, if you wanna talk about women, they really are made for space travel if you think about it. Being generally smaller, they don’t take up as much room, and you can put in more fuel and experiments and ship. For the same reason that jockeys on horses are tiny. They sure make a lot of money though
But yeah, a very well trained all female crew wouldn’t bother me one bit
These days, it’s more likely to be the King’s Arabic or Farsi!
It was explained to me on launch night that Artemis II was just going to loop the moon because it was a simple, safe, free-return trajectory with zero complications as even the ship itself wasn’t configured for the de-orbit burns and transterran insertion burns that Apollo 8 went through when it did 10 orbits around the moon.
So I was told…
What Artemis II is going through is what might be the flight profile Apollo 7 underwent in earth orbit: a crewed shake-down of the Orion spacecraft and systems with the added maneuver of looping the moon.
No matter how unstable or mentally ill, there is nothing NASA can do because of political corrective mandates.
“Some of the women that NASA has had in the astronaut program are frankly unstable and mentally ill.”
True. And it’s not the women’s fault that they were there and ill-suited for their positions. It’s the fault of woke crap — AA / DEI / etc. The women never should’ve been there in the first place.
Bring back the NASA of the ‘60s where merit was THE thing.
The men are the tiny exception that proved the rule.
I am a dinosaur and think there is no place for women in space or on the military.
I hear you, but since I’ve known enough very intelligent women in my day, I know that there’s nothing wrong with their brains. So the fact that they can be half the size of a man is actually pretty prudent when you’re trying to save mass. Like I say, just in the beginning of space flight, just when we are learning how to do things. Someday you could bring Fat Albert on board and it wouldn’t matter, but until then you have to think about stuff like that.
You’re a stone cold idiot. Get off this board.
I agree. Folks want to have confidence in the success of the mission and safe return of the crew. A by-the-book, no-nonsense, all-business demeanor in communications keeps miscommunication and mistakes to a minimum and improves efficiency of all operations during the mission.
The baron Koch woman’s parents probably would liked her to have children and a family instead of being a girl power NASA hero.
Nah. The statement is neither clear nor informative. Nothing against the speaker but speech is for communication.
They were risk-taking cowboys, which was necessary for the program. Love those high-T men!
