Thank you sir. Duely downloaded and replicated for further distribution.
Cowards.
All of them. Afraid of giving anyone an equal playing field, straight afraid of women. Hold everyone down, insecure little men.
This anti-DEI measures are completely crazy.
Anti-DEI is just a newfangled way of saying white men only.
The pettyness of all this shit is what's really shocking...
I'm not shocked at all. They literally said exactly what they were going to do and now they are doing it.
Learn to expect the most stupid and evil outcome of any situation from now on and preemptively fight to secure what you deem important in whatever way you can.
If you think this is bad, imagine what it portends for women astronauts.
NASA is going down the drain under the new regime. If you're interested in space exploration, shift your gaze over to the ESA or CNSA.
What will happen to the Artemis program? :(
The Artemis program never had any legs. The entire thing was being done in the most stupid way possible simply so that NASA could use SLS, a rocket that was completely incapable of actually fulfilling it stated mission. It was like the Apollo missions but without the lander.
Same thing that was always going to happen to it: It's not gonna fly. It's been canceled or clean sheet restarted at least once by every administration since inception, and frankly that rope has been pretty thoroughly pissed up.
Gods dammit, and after Artemis I was so succesful! I was looking forward to Artemis II... And seeing humans once again on the moon in my lifetime.
I won't get it. Mars is, resource poor. Don't get me wrong; having humanity set foot on another planet would be an amazing achievement, but... Since everything is so profit-driven, why not support a return to the moon!?
There's potentially Helium 3 up there. And the moon has a bunch of surface-minerals.
If we survive this, we really should switch to a matriarchal society.
I'd love to live in a society where no particular gender held most positions of power or had more legislative influence.
Sure, but if we HAD to have a gender in charge, I'd prefer women.
I feel like we'd exchange the Elon Musks of the world for the JK Rowlings of the world, the Ronald Reagans for the Margaret Thatchers, and the Donald Trumps for the Ayn Rands.
Fairer sex my ass
The only reason you don't think women can be evil is because you're too used to the idea of women as damsels to be rescued, too childish to be a threat to anyone. This is because the patriarchy hates the idea that a woman can be competent moreso than a man, even in acts of evil.
Yupes, good old "benevolent" sexism.
Prejudice, just like the Far-Right, just with different "superior" and "inferior" groups.
Historically the best criteria for selecting people to positions of power is how little they want power, not gender or race.
(Personally I think that's because people who do not want power see it as a burden, and they do so because for them power is a great responsability towards many others - what sane individuals would ever want to be in a position were they can ruin the lives of countless people by making a mistake - and that's exactly the kind of people you want to entrust with it, not the ones for whom power is a form of ego-stroking or even a tools for personal upside maximization)
Yupes, good old βbenevolentβ sexism.
God I'm reminded of anytime I watch something from the 90's and then an asian character shows up....
It's not that I'm racist and go into "WOKE MOBS TOOK MY WHITES AWAY!!!11111" mode
It's that for the longest time in America, media was blatantly racist against basically everyone and in the 90's, the cold war was over, the best electronics came from Japan, so the media was trying (and failing) to learn how to be not so asiaphobic. This didn't mean "Don't do stereotypes!", this means "Do positive stereotypes"
So every show either had the one asian cast member or that one episode where the asian character showed up, and you could just HEAR the writers saying "Oh no, so he's very proud of his heritage and is very smart, so it's a positive thing. That makes up for his dialogue sounding like fortune cookies that have been put through google translate fifty times!"
And then you went into the 2000's and this also became how they wrote black characters.... Irwin from Billy and Mandy, Tucker from Danny Phantom, The Dino Thunder Blue Ranger, Richie from Static Sh.... wait.. Richie was the token white guy (In an amazing show I might add, god I should re-watch Static Shock)...... Well my point still stands, they're all the same fucking character "Oh no he's really dorky and super smart, so it's the exact opposite of the stereotype is the joke!"
Doing the exact opposite of the stereotype still calls attention to the stereotype, god damn it!
Miles Morales has shades of this too, but he's nowhere near as insufferable as these characters and is far more believable as a "Black Nerd" than any of them.
Sorry, I remembered "Benevolent Racism" when you mentioned benevolent sexism, and that awakened that.
It's really weird when the 90's show you're watching is based on an Asian Property and it does this nonsense, because I look at characters like "Kong Fu" from Donkey Kong Country, or the one episode of Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog where Scratch and Grounder become "Ninja Robots" by draining the asianess from this Samurai Crane (I know samurai aren't ninjas, but tell the show that), and I'm like... "Wow, I wonder how Shigeru Miyamoto and Yuji Naka felt if they ever saw this shit... Except fuck Yuji Naka, he's a bit of a dick.... The AoStH Episode is still fucked up though."
And after 200 years of matriarchy, people would be saying that women are evil and we should have a patriarchy. Whoever holds the power always ends up oppressing whoever doesn't.

I'm not against the idea at all, but there are pletny of women in power at the federal level that are absolute dogshit as well.
The problem is too many won't go for it. I recently met a guy who completely voted against his own best interests just because Kamala was born with a vagina instead of a penis. He admitted it freely, so he knowingly voted for the people who want to make people like him slaves again. It's absolutely mind boggling.
Yes, merit is overrated. We should just get more of Giorgia Meloni, Alice Weidel and Marine Le Pen. Clearly Europe is on the right track...
Have you not seen tumblr? You'll just get Elon Musk with a vagina and a hate-on for anyone capable of having a hard-on.... Even if they aren't men.
So an even more mask-off JK Rowling

The amount of puss-outs to the fat orange is absolutely boggling
What's next? Rename the Artemis program because we can't be flying to the moon under some lady name? Probably change it to Ares, god of war and courage. That's a very manly man name, just as the good lords Jesus and Trump intended.
The moon program in the 1960s was originally called Artemis and got renamed to Apollo for the same reasoning.
So it'll probably get renamed to Apollo 2.

Soon they will just be pushing women down stairs just for fun. Such MAGAts.
Naw that might cause miscarriages, canβt be having that!
I actually think that's their preferred method of abortion. That way they can really get out all the anger in one go.
I'm curious: the USA wants to dominate the final frontier, how will they ensure a civilization can thrive without woman in those new settlements?
Anyways, the idea is horrific and stupid, let's hope the US implodes.
I always remember the question for Bill Gates were someone asked him if the Middle East will ever catch up with the rest of the world technology wise. And his answer was basically "no" because you shut out half of your population, holding women down.
They don't want no women, they want subservient women. Think Handmaid's Tale in space.
With bottling Embryos like in Brave New World probably. That sounds about weird enough for Musk and his fellow band of shitheads

Those were idealistic and aspirational. What we should be.
They can't cancel the graphic novel that accurately depicts what it's like being a woman in aerospace.
Where can i read them now? Did anybody downloaded those comics and is willing to share them?
I have both pdf issues in english and spanish and the audiobook that they made for issue 1 and the .apk for the android app (idk how to get ios apps). I don't know what to do with them yet. The website is available on internet archive, you can read both issues on there. For some reason issue 2 eng/sp .pdf were still on the nasa site if you have the direct link.
https://web.archive.org/web/20250301192918/https://www.nasa.gov/calliefirst/
Edit: Uploaded pdf to libgen (usr:genesis pw:upload) idk why it does that, they should get indexed on the other sites eventually.

So, I'm curious if they're just bowing to trump in extreme desperation to keep federal funding, otherwise they're out of a job? Or, do they have some maga right wingers in leadership at NASA?
My guess and hope is the former. If true, maybe they have to come off as spineless just to keep being funded. I dunno, just speculating.
My guess is a bit of both. As a woman who's spent some time working in IT, there are still more than enough men who are pissed at having to include women and would jump at the opportunity to get them out of the door or degrade them as soon as possible. Give them an opportunity like "Oh no, now we have to take those women-related things down. Just in case, gotta keep our funding. Too bad, so sad." and they'll jump on it.
