The pettyness of all this shit is what's really shocking...

[–] Zer0_F0x@lemmy.world 23 points 6 days ago

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.

Thank you sir. Duely downloaded and replicated for further distribution.

All of them. Afraid of giving anyone an equal playing field, straight afraid of women. Hold everyone down, insecure little men.

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? :(

[–] captain_aggravated 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

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.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 5 days ago

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.

The amount of puss-outs to the fat orange is absolutely boggling

[–] Alfredolin@sopuli.xyz 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This anti-DEI measures are completely crazy.

[–] absentbird@lemm.ee 4 points 5 days ago

Anti-DEI is just a newfangled way of saying white men only.

If you think this is bad, imagine what it portends for women astronauts.

[–] raynethackery@lemmy.world 85 points 1 week ago (13 children)

If we survive this, we really should switch to a matriarchal society.

[–] lolrightythen@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

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.

[–] merdaverse@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

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...

[–] spacecadet@lemm.ee 4 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Statistically, women leaders start more wars than men, so a matriarchal society signs us up for more war. The group statistically likely to start less wars is former soldiers, probably because they know the horrors.

Maybe leadership is more β€œcontent of character” than a gender issue

[–] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

I look to a day when people will not be judged by the bits between their legs, but by the content of their character.

That's the famous quote.

Women being leaders in a patriarchal society will probably behave like leaders in a patriarchal society.

[–] cooperativesrock@lemm.ee 0 points 6 days ago

One single woman in charge is not a matriarchy.

[–] Probius@sopuli.xyz 36 points 1 week ago (7 children)

I'd love to live in a society where no particular gender held most positions of power or had more legislative influence.

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.

Where can i read them now? Did anybody downloaded those comics and is willing to share them?

[–] GrumpyDuckling 56 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

Soon they will just be pushing women down stairs just for fun. Such MAGAts.

[–] Erasmus@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Naw that might cause miscarriages, can’t be having that!

[–] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

I actually think that's their preferred method of abortion. That way they can really get out all the anger in one go.

[–] Ronno@feddit.nl 28 points 1 week ago (12 children)

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.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

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.

[–] Soleos@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

They don't want no women, they want subservient women. Think Handmaid's Tale in space.
