QuixoticgeekOk. That I hadn't expected. A warm fuzzy feeling at how many of the voices saying go for launch are women's voices.
There may be only one woman on top of the rocket. But there's a whole lot more making it happen.

@RandamuMaki well yes. But here we can actually see and hear them.
@quixoticgeek Right. There's also transgender women working at NASA right now, which probably pisses the orange turd off something fierce. https://www.nasa.gov/image-article/systems-engineering-supervisor-amy-lendian/

"So here I am, a transgender woman, an engineer, working at Kennedy Space Center, and I get to work around these really smart, wonderful people, supporting the Artemis mission, sitting in the control room during the launch." — Amy Lendian, Systems Engineering Supervisor, Amentum Spaceport, NASA's Kennedy Space Center
