"Can learn from its failures as it aims to send women to the moon?"

 

What the *****?  The moon landing is a failure now, because it didn't include breasts?  

Oh, and come to think of it. Was the Challenger disaster a successful failure as it included women, or just a partial success because many of those died were Male?

All this, but it is a group chat that takes them down? There are calls for the governor to resign over the "chat scandal" too. 


Top Puerto Rico officials resign in group chat scandal that ensnares governor
 

Two of Puerto Rico’s top government officials resigned on Saturday following the publication of a bombshell group chat in which Governor Ricardo Rossello and his closest allies exchanged controversial messages that have led to widespread calls for Rossello to also step down.
 

The political turmoil comes at a critical stage in the U.S. commonwealth’s historic bankruptcy and as its officials seek billions of dollars in funding from the federal government for healthcare and for recovery efforts following devastating hurricanes in 2017.
 

It also follows a 32-count federal indictment and arrests on Wednesday of six people, including two former high-ranking Puerto Rico government officials, who were charged with conspiracy and other crimes in connection with millions of dollars in federal Medicaid and education funds.

Two of the 12-member group chat - Secretary of State Luis Rivera Marin and Christian Sobrino, the island’s chief financial officer and Rossello’s representative on Puerto Rico’s federally created fiscal oversight board - left the government following Saturday’s release by Puerto Rico journalist group Centro de Periodismo Investigativo of 889 pages of text messages.
 

They show how Rossello and his closest advisors, including former and current public officials, public relations operatives and the governor’s former campaign manager, exchanged memes, derogatory, misogynistic and homophobic comments, as well as jokes about journalists, politicians and activists in a Telegram group chat. The messages further include public policy discussions, sharing of confidential government information and political campaign work, despite the presence of individuals who were not public officials at the time.

Apparently large protests and riots have been going on the last few days demanding resignations.

One of my best friends (who's from there) is visiting family there now. Waiting on an update, but he was telling me before he went down that people were legit pissed off. 

Are they mad about the stolen billions or the group chat memes?

Almost started a new thread for this gem... but it belongs here. 

 

... "difficult to move past it"... 

 

The Times is hot garbage.

To be fair to the Apollo mission, they were just following in the footsteps of history.  Villains like Galileo and Newton contributed to the stifling of women and it would be just and right to strike them from the annals of history.

Sounded like both before he left, based on what his father was complaining to him about. This friend is not very political (but very anti-Trump because Hollywood), so he should be able to give me a good assessment when he's back.
