When NASA’s Artemis III mission launches next year, the crew won’t include any women — a revelation that sparked controversy after the agency on Tuesday announced the four astronauts selected for the flight.
“Not a single woman flying on Artemis III is an insane choice,” Alexandra Doten, a space influencer who goes by Astro Alexandra, posted on X on Tuesday.
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman attempted to address these criticisms head-on Wednesday.
“I have seen reactions ranging from disappointment to outrage,” he said in a statement.
Isaacman said that some astronauts may not have been selected for the Artemis III flight because they are already on tap for expeditions to the International Space Station or because their training and skill sets make them more suitable for future Artemis missions, during which astronauts are expected to land on the moon.

Here we go.
NASA should address that complaint first. Then move on to what that stupid woman had to say.
DEI is now DOA, so it doesn’t matter what Astro Allie thinks.

They should have been selected.
I’d hit it.
So it is required that there must be women on every space flight?
Non discrimination on recruiting astronauts is not good enough? There must be a female on every space capsule?
I am so absolutely sick of this crap.
As long as they are talking about astronaut quotas, I demand that they use some of our amazing pilots that have bombed the crap out of our enemies.
Just imagine the photo ops of an active duty Air Force Colonel looking down from space, identifying fresh targets.
OMG! What did those aliens do to them!?
They’re deformed!
Their faces are all stretched and lifeless!
the solution...
When some loud mouth broad starts yapping off about why are there no women, interrupt her mid-sentence and tell her you’re not her husband and to keep quiet until spoken to. and then give security a nod in her direction signaling to kick her out of the room...
Then continue your presentation as if nothing happened.
I would, too.
With a bat. Or a stick. Or anything long and fairly heavy.
suits are too thick... no camel toes at all!!
...pity...
Yes.
Astro Cats of the world ... UNITE!
This is catism at its worst, and this kind of discrimination will not be tolerated.
😾
Well, someone has to toast the bagels!
Some progressives recognize 74 genders (that is not a typo).
Imagine if Kamala had cheated her way to the White House. Each NASA mission would have to carry a minimum of 74 crew members.
There is strength in diversity.
Or so I’m told.

Hopefully NASA is saving a spot for them on an upcoming one-way mission.
