How do you feel about the majority of the graduates having military titles ?

Space Force

If they moved to the Space Force that would be OK. But NASA is a civilian organization and will eventually draw some protests. It is customary to drop the military title when working a civilian job.

Apparently NASA had a directive that at least 5 of the people in the class had to be women. So they basically instituted a quota system instead of picking the people most qualified for the program.

Really a shame

Really a shame

It's really a shame you're not as smart as NASA at selecting candidates as you're the one focusing on gender only. If you get the best of the best males and females, each gender still brings a different perspective in life. This diversity helps empower their mission. But why would you know that? You're just a nobody, yelling shame at an organization that's advancing civilization. Log off now boomer.
