@2legged Becoming human shields? Really? Yeah, better use of the "token girl" to take a bullet for someone else than when she set records with other female astronauts. If we don't like her achievements or expertise, we can just diminish them and write them off! That's the real feminism!
I think it's entirely possible to do both space and other things, but unfortunately the government is not currently interested in other things. The space program essentially being mostly dead for the past couple decades didn't make a difference on those, either.

@himbovoorhees You still miss my point. The space program is not just an obscene waste of resources. It is part of the a technological exercise which has turned space into a new theatre of war. It is a dangerous and wicked thing, which should be ended. These people who have been falsely glorified while they damage humanity's future could redeem themselves by following the heroic example of Rachel Corrie. They could place their bodies in service of human life instead of technological ego trips
