Didn’t notice it was a woman at first, but isn’t it an appeal to authority? The fact that someone is an astronaut doesn’t mean they can’t also be a dumb fuck. Just look at Russians - Oleg Artemyev, Tereshkova, Rogozin. I’m not familiar with NASA astronauts but surely some of them were also complete idiots as well?

Did they teach you that in school? The same school where they taught you Sally Ride was the first woman in space?

I’d say being an astronaut pretty much negates being dumb as fuck, especially in the early days.

  Not sure I get your point. I wasn’t implying that all the Russian cosmonauts are dumb fucks, just that the only cases I’m familiar with all being Russians.

The guy is clearly “mansplaining” though.

Is there a gender neutral version of mansplaining?

  This post made me realize mansplaining can happen to anyone.
