Seriously, there are no women in that entire crowd. Come to think of it they’re all white too.
Well, I suppose it’s tradition.
The average percentage of women in aerospace is ~13.4%
SpaceX has 14.1% female.
NASA has 35.5% women.
Boeing has 24.1% women.
Virgin Galactic has 25% women.
Blue Origin has 20% women.
Lockheed has 32% female.
Grumman has 24.5% female.
Raytheon has 29% female.
Maybe women in aerospace just don't want to work for Musk?
Where are those numbers from? I don't doubt them but it seems a bit weird that even the lowest outlier of these big aerospace companies is still above average for the industry. I guess this is just saying that smaller companies have even more difficulty hiring/retaining female workforce.
Self reporting as part of diversity quota. Most of them have female hire goals of around 30-35%. USBLS provided the average across aerospace.
What is curious is how some gave a "female" statistic, but others said "women".
Interesting.
Well more than average do but sure
SpaceX is ran by a woman, Gwynne Shotwell. Musk is the CEO, but she runs the show as the COO - this is because of her.
Ok.
You forgot to change user when replying to yourself?
Dicks don't launch rockets. Brains do. SpaceX has plenty of brains with, and without dicks attached.
Stop being a salty shit.
No? Did I offend you by making a new comment instead of editing the first? Do you have multiple user accounts you talk to yourself with?
That’s my point.
I’m gonna pretend you play a reasonably intelligent person on tv and simply ask you to point out the women or people of color in this clip celebrating the achievement. Which is what I was commenting on.
And I’ll cut to the part where you don’t answer and accuse me of being whatever your boogeyman is this week instead and just tell you that IF you find a woman or person of color in that clip they will be very, very few. WHEN you don’t, I’d like you to ask yourself why that is.
For homework, write a 1000 word essay on Operation Paperclip and the origins of NASA.
Just stop hating. Fuck.
Put it back in the deck, Skippy...
Isnt middle front at 46s a woman?
Maybe that's why they are so good, copying NASA prime?
Ja, ja.
