An interstellar row has broken out between the Royal Astronomical Society and Nasa over claims a former boss purged gay staff.
The James Webb space telescope – the most powerful observatory ever built – was named in honour of the man who ran the space agency in the 1960s.
But the 202-year-old society has ordered its 4,000 members to refrain from using the telescope's full title following claims that Mr Webb was a homophobe who oversaw a purge of gay employees.

So cut the “Royal Society” off from any data the Webb gathers. I’m sure they won’t mind. In fact they’ll approve wholeheartedly. Why would they want anything from that bigoted piece of machinery?

And this is just now coming out, so to speak? If they don’t want to use it, fine. I am sure there are plenty of researchers in the world who can make good use of that time.

ROTFL! Those wacky Brits are at it again. Gayism is “wildly popular” with that bunch.
