Didn’t notice it was a woman at first, but isn’t it an appeal to authority? The fact that someone is an astronaut doesn’t mean they can’t also be a dumb fuck. Just look at Russians - Oleg Artemyev, Tereshkova, Rogozin. I’m not familiar with NASA astronauts but surely some of them were also complete idiots as well?
Not sure I get your point. I wasn’t implying that all the Russian cosmonauts are dumb fucks, just that the only cases I’m familiar with all being Russians.

Did they teach you that in school? The same school where they taught you Sally Ride was the first woman in space?
I’d say being an astronaut pretty much negates being dumb as fuck, especially in the early days.
Germany sent the first rocket out in space, and both the URSS and the USA benefited from the Nazis to make things happen.
Russia? They can’t even launch an ICBM nowadays.
Also, being “first” is good but kind of a dick measuring contest IMO.
A nice sum-up of the Cold War, yes. Carlin said it best.

The guy is clearly “mansplaining” though.
Is there a gender neutral version of mansplaining?
Themsplaining?
This post made me realize mansplaining can happen to anyone.
