The 3-bounce landing....

Cool and everything, so let's give an engineer a hard time about his sexist shirt.

We may have fallen behind Europe in space "firsts", but we're still number one in political correctness!  USA!  USA!  USA!  USA!

Some of you have daughters, so enlighten me: are they naturally easily offended victims, or do they have to learn it?  Serious question.

Some scientist wearing a shirt covered with mostly naked muscly dudes would not keep me from pursuing a job in science, if that's what I wanted to do.

Welp, I joined the Marines for a reason.  Might as well have been for the muscly dudes.

If you were going on TV for any reason or around anyone but your drinking buddies would you wear some shit like that? Jesus.

I don't find it offensive as just super fucking dumb.

I heard he was in regular clothes before the interview, but changed because he wanted to show they were partying after the good landing.  Maybe they got the guy with tats so the world would know how hip and with it they were.

Anyone know what country from Europe he is from?

England.

Got to admit, those socks match that shirt perfectly.  

I think.

Not any more than boys, women, or even men I know. So yes, it's a learned behavior, although I do believe some people are just born assholes.

Find me a group passionate about finding and they'll find it everywhere.

Not to mention people who exist just to try and stir shit up for whatever cause they believe in.

I feel the same way about all the complaining about the way women are drawn in comics.  Or the fact that most of your superheroes in comics are guys.
