This, unfortunately, says a lot about this nation. We almost had a cadre of female astronauts to lead our nation into the Final Frontier. The only thing holding them back? The United States Air Force. Yeah, the same Air Force that is full of Talibangelical End Times idiots that are trying to turn our nation into a theocracy. The same Air Force that should have their academy in Colorado Springs disbanded and burned to the ground for their backward beliefs and religious thuggery.
These are the sexist pricks that kept women grounded when we could have used them to advance science, adventure and democratic ideals back in the 1950s and early 1960s.
