      I work in the space industry and on a daily basis with NASA. Not a single one has mentioned being harassed

        I’m not sure that would be something that arises in casual conversation. Do any of your black or female colleagues discuss every instance of racism or sexism they experience? Perhaps they mention it sometimes, but likely not with every occurrence. Just because it’s not talked about, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

      Is it actually happening, or are they trying to make it seem like that’s happening?

      Lying about being a victim is a core part of fascist practices. But it’s also a huge part of their demonization of the current system which isn’t filled with fascist leadership yet.

    Who is harassing NASA? Is there anything more iconically American than an astronaut? Not anymore, apparently.

      Google “Musk ISS astronaut” and click on the News tab. The manchild billionaire already seeded the stupidity, it just spreads now.

    That’s how bad the anti-science sentiment has gotten in this country. For fuck’s sake, tell your friends and family to educate themselves with actual facts and information!!!

      to educate themselves

      In other words, to do their own research?

      I’ll show myself out…
