NASA Earth meeting
Are there also meetings on other planets?
When people are way too smug about their wrong answer.

All posts in this community have come from elsewhere, it is not original content, the poster in this community is not OP. The person who posts in this community isn’t necessarily endorsing whatever the post is talking about and they are not looking to argue with you about the content in the post.
You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.

NASA Earth meeting
Are there also meetings on other planets?
Duh, it's NASA, they can fly to the Moon or Mars
They should do a video call instead of flying there for meetings all the time. Much more efficient and cheaper.
Imagine the latency to Mars though
Some really scientifically based response by ChatGPT
Sending 1MB of data to Mars depends on the distance between Earth and Mars and the data transfer rate, which varies widely. When Earth and Mars are closest, about 54.6 million kilometers apart, using NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN) as a reference, with rates up to 250 kbps under optimal conditions, it would take approximately 32 seconds to send 1MB. However, this is an ideal scenario, and actual times could be longer due to various factors like signal processing and interplanetary communication delays.
Just use a cable
How did she manage to be racist and sexist at the same time? Interesting.
Yeah, she could've just said "a post doc". Imagine if it was "a black woman" instead of "white male" and people would be going ballistic
Because it does not play into stereotypes hence is needlessly specific. Say white man conjures the image of an establishment elitist who has unrealistic standards for being a scientist (being white, male, well off)
Why did she have to specify the "white male" part?
Because that's the group most likely to commit misogyny in the workplace? Especially in male dominated fields.
What about cis white females that identify as centrists?
