This reminds me of the bridge collapse because it was designed by woke feminists. The amount of defence the media and society in general ran for those ladies were insane.
There was an Engineering Disasters show on Discovery covering this. They made absolutely no mention of its feminist design. It was quite amusing.
which bridge?
Pedestrian overpass in Miami
I think they're referring to the pedestrian bridge in Miami. You can find it looking up "FIU bridge."
This affirmative action hiring is not a rumor. It's reality. And it has a profound impact.
I worked at Michound Assembly facility for over a year. They are open amongst the government contractors onsite about filling quotas.
While these contractors and Nasa can hire 10/10 women, having a background in bartending doesn't make you a good member of the technical team. Their techs on the floor are mostly a joke. Some of them are borderline missing a few bolts up there.
And unfortunately, the pay grades put the best and the worse in the ame category. Welders at the same pay as morons who don't know how to set a torque wrench.and don't get me started with managment... putting women in positions of power to 'look good' when they treat the manufacturing culture like a high-school with insulting prep rallys..
For the most part artimis is built by a few exceptional personel surrounded by mostly mediocrity. This rocket is just a cash cow for defense contractors suck tax payer dollars down the drain.
Artimis should be anonymous with "white collar welfare" cause that's what it is.
I'm back in private sector for 1, vax mandate, pure blood still, 2, working on artimis for a year was a waste from a career standpoint.
This is why the NASA is irrelevant (why send men to the moon again?) now that a civilian company, SpaceX, has proven they can explore space and maintain satellites and stuff better and at lower cost (none to taxpayers, I assume).
It costs taxpayers money, since we're still paying SpaceX for services rendered, but it costs much less. It's a bit like when the Pony Express was doing US mail contracts, and IMO this system is absolutely more efficient and effective than government-run space. (actually I wish they'd get rid of USPS and go back to doing that for the mail)
You miss spelled black wa-man to the moon.
Diversity up and down the chain.
Their obsession with imutable characteristics is sickening.
If an engineer-led project like a moon mission capitulates to the diversity nightmare, they're just asking for disaster.
There was some online DIE training I had to do for my work and the section on Sexual Harassment literally boiled down to if a woman did it, it does count. If a woman complains, someone must be disciplined.
One example was a woman X complained about having to work man Y because she doesn't like the vibes she gets from him. The boss straight up tells X that she is going only on the team with Y because of the government mandated quotas.
This was a case of double Sexual Harassment because Y made her feel uncomfortable and that makes a "hostile work environment" and because the boss implied that being a woman isn't a real qualification.
Predictable. Also the good engineers won't even try working for NASA as they will want to avoid at all cost the Woke nightmare.
Just by the current progress of just trying to get this launch done, looks like the US is relying on SpaceX for the foreseeable future as Russia are no longer and option and China aren't going to help them
At least in theory, Atlas and Delta production could be extended to help and the Europeans could help with Ariane. But realistically, Spacex will be the only game in town until Vulcan flies and is human rated, maybe New Glen also.
must be a day ending with y, then
It can be seen at the end of every dynasty in history.
