Space: One giant slip for womankind! Nasa astronauts on a rare all-female space walk drop their toolbox (and experts say it’s visible from Earth) OP: Wrong gender to be sacked.

While the article says it was an all woman space walk, it does not indicate the astronauts were chosen because of their sex or that more qualified men were denied. Also, the consequences of this mishap are minor, at least according to the article.

There are much better documented examples of the tragedies that can happen when less qualified women are purposely chosen. There are articles of female fire fighters who can’t perform rescue operations for example or the case of the first female jet fighter who crashed her bullion dollar jet, also killing herself that would serve as better examples.

Okay that's kind of funny and cool that you can see it.

In the grand scheme of space junk a tool box is indeed tiny compared to what NASA has left orbiting the earth. "around 23,000 objects larger than 10 cm and about 100 million pieces of debris larger than 1 mm"

Additionally Apollo 11 had left over 106 items on the moon and literally made a trash site on the moon.

I think NASA don't really have the right to call a tool box a slip in comparison to what they have done and what they are ultimately going to do.

this ain't even the first time

If it is similar to a bag lost in 2008 by astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper, the cost of replacing it could top £82,000.

The satchel-sized bag was dropped by astronauts

Dern, she dropped her purse. Where's a man to pick it up for her?

Second baiting question I’ve seen today, claiming discrimination without any evidence of discrimination. Don’t fall for people!
