We did, in the past, too. I dunno, they passed on Chuck Yeager.

And Chuck Norris.

Hate to say it, but I'm buying the Russian story.

Hate to say it, but I'm not automatically buying the NASA story.

The Wikipedia entry description of her flight is exactly one sentence long.

Expedition 56/57 Edit
She launched on Soyuz MS-09 on 6 June 2018 for a six-month mission to the ISS,[9] and returned 20 December 2018 for a mission duration of 196 days 17 hours and 49 minutes.[10]

The next sentence says she is no longer flight eligible and has been moved into management.

Its not just NASA denying the story, the Russian state space corporation Roscosmos is also denying the story.

“’NASA picks it’s people using Diversity nothing else’

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? “

Your comment does not follow the rules of reason. The original comment was that NASA makes its choices based only on demographic categories, meaning that merit is not a consideration. You cannot interpret that to mean that people of different demographic groups could not qualify on merit alone. It simply is a logical fallacy.

This is a bullshit story, quite a few women have been on the iss before, and none of these toilet issues like you state have happen. You got a good source, best cite it

Russian modules leaking air is common.

"Bad news for astronauts and cosmonauts alike: The International Space Station (ISS) is continuing to lose pressure after Russian attempts to patch cracks in the outpost's hole have failed to stem leaks.

Leaks in the Zvezda service module of the Russian segment of the ISS have plagued the laboratory over the last year. One leak was patched last year and pair of new ones cropped up in January."

This is the damage of affirmative action. No one trusts women or blacks in high positions because we have seen, time and time again, incompetent fools, who have zero business being where they but were promoted because of their genitals or melanin content. I guarantee NASA is looking everywhere for a tranny to send up.

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

I'm all for picking the best for the mission.

But if this is true for Russian engineering, then the "Russian Best" made a 22-ton Nauka module that just took the ISS for a spin, and could have been catastrophic.

(It'd only be fair to mention US disasters too - Columbia, Challenger, Apollo 1, etc...)

How about if we don't bend over backwards to point fingers, and just try to figure out what caused the hole to form.

I don’t understand how drilling a hole in the Soyuz module gets you home?

They wouldn’t have to dumb-down the standards to t he degree that they have the across the board if anything else we’re true.

"On September 3, Russian state news agency RIA Novosti cited reports that the hole was drilled by a worker at Energiya, the corporation that manufactures Soyuz rockets. Upon noticing the error, the employee allegedly plugged the hole with glue, which explained why it was discovered neither during preflight testing nor during the first two months of the space mission."

When they did the first shuttle mission after the Columbia accident, it was two white man is the only crew. Both of them look like they came out of the right stuff movie.

The flight after the Columbia accident was STS-114.

This is a picture of the STS-114 crew. The commander is in the middle.

Does this match your claim above? Do you do any research and double-checking before you post?

(Actually, I was arguing at the time that NASA should NEVER trust the Space Shuttle to 7 astronauts at a time after they lost 2 vehicles.)

This article says after returning she was treated for a blood clot in her jugular vein. Russians claim that dealing with this led her to try to sabotage the station in order to return home.

Now, I’m not a medical person but wouldn’t a blood clot in your neck be an emergency and lead to an emergency evacuation?
