I believe Vlad. Biden admin lies to America far more than the Russians.

Sounds like they forced an affirm+action tw*t on the mission and paid the price.

“Hate to say it, but I’m buying the Russian story.”

Agree, the Russians have no reason to defame her, and with this they’re SENDING A MESSAGE to Biden that they know where a few skeletons are.

They need not be single, just the BEST for the job!

And it's completely impossible for a woman or a minority to be the best person for a job? Only white guys can be that?

Such people can make more money in private industry.

But only white men? Woman and minorities succeed solely through affirmative action?

“Hmmm, hyphenated chick...possibly.”

Agree, that should be a disqualifier, as it shows at least some degree of mental illness.

Its a case of she said vs she said. Russians make more sense, given the woke people in the US these days.

“Yep. Russians have no concept of “diversity” and just pick the best for the mission”

We did, in the past, too. Look at all of the astronauts prior to Shuttle, and even the early Shuttle flights.

The toilet in the American side was broken from her messing with it to make it more female friendly. They were using the one in the Russian side until they became rude. The female was angry that the Russian side offered little privacy. The Russians finally forced the non Russians out of the Soyuz section by force. The non Russians were all having to use space diapers and things were getting dirty and smelly over there. Requests to return her back to earth were refused by nasa units Russia did it for free.
When both Russians were on a spacewalk, supposedly she drilled a hole in an element of the craft that caused it to lose pressure.
That element is ejected and burns up on reentry so it would never be studied back home.
Over objections if the American commander, the Russians fixed the hole with epoxy because ISS runs on very low pressure. The repair held fine. The Russians demanded video to see who took the drill into their quarters, nasa refused.
That’s the story.

I guess good looks isn’t a qualification.

I think they used the same photographer that took all of our high school yearbook photos. She also managed to find the same hairdresser from back then.

there isn't a single woman or a single minority as qualified or more qualified to be on the space station than a white guy?

Politicized organizations use politicized criteria. They won't advance the minority who has "wrongthink," who in their eyes is actually worse than the non-minority. So I'd say the captioned statement could well be true.

Now wait just a minute here. This story is from Russians and involves a pissing female. Isn’t that all the proof we need to know it’s true?

Call mueller immediate. I demand an investigation!

From memory, the small hole was poorly drilled - the bit walked and made a mess of it. I guess it would have made too much of a racket to use a punch to start it, like we did in shop class.

So, which member of the crew was least capable with power tools?

I rest my case.

So what you’re saying is that there isn’t a single woman or a single minority as qualified or more qualified to be on the space station than a white guy?


No, that is not what he said, how do you hear that?

Propaganda works doesn’t it. You have bought in bigly.

Because the poster said NASA picks for diversity and nothing else. Which implies that any time a woman or a minority is picked over a white guy it isn't because they are the best person for the job but solely because they are a woman or a minority. Ergo they can never be the most qualified person. What's hard to understand in that?
