    Didn’t notice it was a woman at first, but isn’t it an appeal to authority? The fact that someone is an astronaut doesn’t mean they can’t also be a dumb fuck. Just look at Russians - Oleg Artemyev, Tereshkova, Rogozin. I’m not familiar with NASA astronauts but surely some of them were also complete idiots as well?

      Did they teach you that in school? The same school where they taught you Sally Ride was the first woman in space?

      I’d say being an astronaut pretty much negates being dumb as fuck, especially in the early days.

      The guy is clearly “mansplaining” though.

      Is there a gender neutral version of mansplaining?
