And Chuck Norris.
Lesbos don’t wear heels.
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.

“’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
I don’t trust hyphenated people.
"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."

Was it period time?
Wrong again after Columbia was sts114 and had a women commander elieen Collins.
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.
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.

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?
