An altitude that very few people will ever see
Bozo can’t get his facts straight even for a few minutes.
Today, President Trump took a few moments out of his day to speak with NASA astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir, who are currently conducting the first all-female spacewalk in history on the outside of the International Space Station. While speaking with the pair, Trump mistakenly suggested this was the first female spacewalk ever — a point that the astronauts corrected him on.
“This is the first time for a woman outside of the space station,” Trump said. He later added: “You are amazing people; they’re conducting the first ever female spacewalk to replace an exterior part of the space station. They’re doing some work, and they’re doing it in a very high altitude — an altitude that very few people will ever see.”
But it’s not the first ever, it’s only the first ever with two women. His people must have briefed him on that before the call.
In her response, Meir made it clear that they were building on the work of many previous women who had spacewalked before them. “We don’t want to take too much credit because there have been many other female spacewalkers before,” Meir said. “This is the first time that there’s been two women outside at the same time.” In the history of spaceflight, only 15 women have ever spacewalked, including Meir and Koch.
Trump’s evil daughter also took part in the call.
She has no right to be there.
Spacewalks can be dangerous, especially when the spacecraft is passing over the White House, or worse still, in geosynchronous orbit above it. The inevitable fusillade of fast upwards-flying bullshit can damage hardware and electronics, and seriously endanger any spacewalking astronauts. That is, unless they are wearing special armoured space suits impervious to it all.
No greater danger exists in all of the vastness of space.
He is so profoundly stupid.
An untapped Trump revenue stream opportunity: he could rent out the vast, empty space in his skull to NASA for testing vehicles in a hard vacuum.
Ah, the cold, dark, vast and inhospitable vacuum of space. But that’s enough about the content of the Trumps’ skulls.
How do you know? Are you sure all the other AMAB astronauts identified as male? Aren’t you worried about misgendering them? Committing real violence?
God, I can’t look at that picture of Ivanka. She doesn’t look real. More like a plastic blow up doll, or a a Stepford wife.
YNnB@#3:
I believe negotiations between Trump and NASA are already underway. But Trump is aware of the value of his resource, and is holding out. After all, he can afford to, not having use for it for much else, let alone anything critical.
@ Omar #1
You can have geosynchronous orbits only directly above the equator, and the White House isn’t on the equator.
Colin Day, that’s GEOSTATIONARY.
Yeah, whatever.
But I believe that it is possible to nudge a satellite on an equatorial orbit so that it drifts first to towards one pole,then back towards the other, and then back towards the first and so on, and so its path over the Earth comes to resemble a helical spring. But I may be wrong there.
Any ideas?
