There are a lot of private space companies who still use “manned” instead of “human” or “crewed”.

#nasa hasn’t used “manned” in our official nomenclature for ~ 20 years. It may sound pedantic, but women are still only 20% of engineering graduates - the same percentage as when I graduated.

Language and representation - think of job postings - matter.
