Speaking of judges’ orders being ignored, where do things stand with the various science funding freezes and IDC reduction at NIH? An update on each agency, including a timeline of events and whether judicial orders are actually being obeyed, would be a huge help.

They girlboss yassified Gilded Age space tourism. It's not a "crew." These people are not astronauts, they are passengers. This is not feminism. This is not anywhere in the neighborhood of feminism. This is the glossy capitalist influencer ripoff known as "empowerment" and it's just gross!
