Do you support the goal of putting the first woman astronaut on the moon?

[Lord of Planar]

That's an excellent reason to deny a woman.

Well said.

I take it for you to form that opinion, you are bigoted believing men are better than women, and that women need lower standards.

 

[exoplanet]

Sure. I'm betting there are way more qualified applicants then there are positions, so why not send a woman?

Overall, I like going to the moon more than sending people to Mars. It's cheaper, more manageable, more likely to lead to something practical, and I really want to be double extra certain that there isn't any microbial life on Mars before we send humans. We haven't really tried to find that sort of life yet, but we keep finding evidence that it's possible. Contaminating Mars with Earth microbes might mean a loss of irreplaceable scientific knowledge. I'm guessing we won't have definitive evidence for many years now.

I do hate it every time a President comes in and moves things around though. It just delays any sort of real success. Trump is not unique in this, just continuing this annoying trend.

For the cost of sending one or two women to the moon you could teach 10,000 young women to be engineers. So not really worth it. Teach the women to be the engineers and then make the first human to step onto Mars a woman and the first human to step on Venus to be a very short-lived man. Then we can say Mars is for women and Venus is for men.

10,000 capable and ambitious women engineers will do us more good than one female space tourist going to the moon as a "first". Make women's history count!

Cheers.

Going to the moon is like going to from San Francisco to Coober Pedy. It's not the easiest thing in the world, but totally doable and done before. How about we include women in the trip to Mars?

How about we simply choose the best of the best, whomever that may be? Such a task wouldn't be based on physical attributes anyway. I would venture to guess women have an approximate equal chance of the attributes that will be considered. In fact, because weight is a factor, that could tend to favor women.

I support putting Americans on the moon. Their gender should be irrelevant.

I remember the media circus that greeted Sally Ride when she returned from her first shuttle mission. When asked the inevitable inane question of how it felt to be the first woman to participate in such a mission, she said something that I will always remember and admire her for: "I'll be glad when it just doesn't matter."

 

[Idiometer]

To what end? To update the flag? 1 moon trip = billions of dollars. That's with a B.

For that kinda cash, I want there to more purpose than to just prove we could.

With China taking big steps in that direction, I think the purpose is to own the high ground. Another space race.

If a woman is the most qualified of course she should be chosen. And I am sure there are women in the program that fit the bill. The latest I could find on the top picks in the NASA astronaut program goes back to 2017. Four of the 12 chosen were women. They had record number of applicants and the top 12 are the cream of the crop. It is quite an elite group. As of 2017 only 350 astronauts have been chosen since the original Mercury 7 in 1959.

:roll: No, it should be a black transgender illegal immigrant from Somalia, if qualifications are not the measure and instead it is about "social barriers."

 

[joko104]

I genuinely don’t see any downside.

1. Making the space program about sex and race or any other social standard is a current political sickness in this country. Everything is NOT about sex, gender, race and ethnicity. I don't see any legitimate reason "woman" is even in this poll. Why not the first Pacific Islander or the first Muslim on the moon? The first double leg amputee?

Women have been in space from the USA, Russia, China, Japan and Canada. A woman in space is nothing new.

2. Cost. Not 1 in 1000 question we landed on the moon, there is nothing there we don't already know or can not be obtained by robotics, and of money spent on space exploration this would be a total waste of NASA money.

The USA practice is that women are allowed only half the maximum time in space due to radiation and potential later birth defects if she wants to have children and other radiation effects such as in mother's milk. Anyone who goes into space is subjected to radiation - some of which never leaves the body. Men for height are not inherently heavier.

 

[Aristaeus]

I support putting the most qualified astronauts on the moon mission regardless of gender. If the top three are women - send them, if the top three are men - they go. Or any combination in between.

Sure, in an ideal world. Pity that doesn't happen in real life.

 

[spud_meister]

Only if we put a kitchen on the moon first.

My thought as well. "Idiots on the internet say the Earth is flat" isn't justification for that kind of expense, nor is "but a woman could be on board!" any more compelling than "but we could put a native American" or any other "we could put a [insert token mascot of your choice] on board" argument.

If a woman can do it, I say more power to her.

Do you support the goal of putting the first woman astronaut on the moon?

I totally do. It’s really kind of amazing we haven’t landed on the moon in so long and, let’s face it, that has fueled some of the conspiracy theories about moon landings being hoaxes. We have much better technology now to document a moon landing and why not secure another spot in history for being the first and maybe only nation to put a women on the moon?

Hey, if they're going to go to the moon, they might as well send a woman.

Right in the middle of the Tribulation (2020-2026) too.

Oh well, what your society does during the Tribulation will be unto you for the rest of time.

Do you know it takes eighty seconds or six minutes, I don't remember the calculation, for the sun to pass the meridian which is ten million years in universal time.

There's really no reason to go to the moon at this moment.

Tribulation? As in biblical prophecy?

Tribulation? As in biblical prophecy?

Eventually all the prophecies are fulfilled after so many convergences on so many planets.

It says the seas will have all dried up, so that's a long time or after which there is no longer faith (life).

Just because the bible says something doesn't mean it's true.

All these prophesies can be interpreted to take place on the inner level.

As the inner, so the outer we find these icons.

The sea drying up is the collective unconscious being purified through the cycle.

The convergence occurs three times over about ten million tears as the disk of the Cosmic Sun passes the meridian.

Ten million years is so many seconds ( a couple minutes) if big bang is midnight.

There are Tribulations when the Cosmic Sun sets and rises in eight and twenty-four billion years.

There is a Tribulation at the End when three are left behind.

All these with all creation occur in the present to the Lord.

 

[Exquisitor]

Tribulation? As in biblical prophecy?

The first tribulation is characterized by characters being not quite in position.

Enlightened beings are working to bring all to repentance and prosperity and to the next convergence where consciousness will be raised another keynote shedding further animosities toward each-other.

This is only one dimension of the convergence.

The convergence is an outpouring of light characterized by Seals, Trumpets, Thunders, Woes and Bowls.

It is a likely time to invest, to have preparations complete by, to build any time around it, to surf the Zuvuya.

It is a time to obey laws, to produce penance, to give alms, to pray, to repent, but better to have these complete a week before or longer.

The specific preparation is thirty-three years from the Harmonic Convergence in 1987.

Four years then 144 gates in three weeks plus one of observation.

 

[Exquisitor]

Tribulation? As in biblical prophecy?

We live in a dimension far away from where all that occurred, is occurring, Un Takes America and finds The Beast and False Prophet and Tortures them and sets up his rule.

Its not far away actually, some say the cycle repeats each successive week until the mark is made and then he drags his net through the dimensions, but he will grow old, and die and go to his lake of fire for five million years.
