Those Forbes lists like 30 under 30 are a joke though. Not sure why she’s bragging about that.

Don't take this the wrong way but from the list of achievements she sounds very much a Politician/PR-person/Lobbyist specialized in the area of Space Exploration, not an Engineer or a Scientist.

Still beats Beer-belly Brad by a long distance (probably not hard), but is such a person really worth celebrating in Science Memes?

Man... I don't envy the person who has to clean up that man-shaped puddle after he just up and melted.

At least Brad has nice moobs going for him.

Wait a minute ... "Forbes 30 under 30 " ?? hmmm

Can't be long before she's arrested for fraud.

Whoa, whoa. How dare this uppity woman talk like that to Dr. Bradley D. D. Wentworth, PhD., an internationally renowned expert on footballogy and beeristics? His accolades include frequent beating of his wife, a penchant for racial slurs, and living in a trailer down by the river.

Beeristics sounds like an awesome field, too bad Brad is in it.

oh shit i didnt know that, I love her content just thought she only worked at NASA in the dmv area. Used to run into her videos on insta - she REALLY loves space.

When those two astronauts were stuck in space(also fuck boeing), she provided some insides about their procedures and plans of return.

Her yt channel is amazing!

Space Force, huh So is anyone gonna tell her 😂

Ah just some blue check degenerates having a slap fight in the Nazi bar. Yawn.

Alexandra Doten is a science communicator and astronomy content creator who rose to fame on TikTok during the COVID-19 pandemic. Doten, a Vanderbilt graduate, interned at NASA for two summers and worked as a communications specialist after graduation. She later transitioned to the U.S. Space Force. Doten is known for her storytelling, which she says has inspired people to pursue careers in astronomy and space, and to invest in astrophotography equipment.

Not to give credit to Twitter verified assholes, but comms specialist is not a specific astronomy or aerospace field.

A former space communications specialist with NASA and later, the U.S. Space Force, today, I am an independent consultant to space organizations around the world. I write and develop brand strategies, educational presentations, speeches, and social media content. 

And I harbor some pretty strong opinions about NASA's public and internal administration for the past 30 years.

Two preventable shuttle disasters and a hacksaw outsourced attempt to return to the moon are not what I would consider quality projects. Modern NASA is the epitome of wasted talent.

This verbal smack down could have been avoided had he read probably anything about her from online and didn't only know her because she dated a Foosball player.

Not to downplay the rest of her accomplishments but can't you essentially buy your way onto the F30U30 list?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

I think so. My sister has been contacted by Forbes that she can pay for a spot on the list. There was a cheaper option for just the nomination.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

isn't a Forbes list the kind of list that buying your way into it proves you belong there?

[–] [email protected] 53 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Bro, you can buy the presidency of the United States if you have enough money. So yeah, not what she did, but it is completely posible.

You see ladies, mansplaining is a portmanteau of the words man, and explaining. Meaning a man explaining something... Actually let me back up. A portmanteau is a blending of two words in both sound and meaning.

So mansplaining... /S

Should've just said, Google my name or something.

why? then he wouldn't've been humbled in such a satisfying, heart-warming way. clearly, he hasn't experience that nearly enough. not to mention the sheer audacity and what is very likely to be misogyny.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

It's definitely misogyny. The incredulous attitude at the competence of a woman in a male-dominated field is textbook.
