Reuters always disables their video comments. Pity.
I kinda thought someone might immediately toss a curveball question out to show they didn't pick the panel based on expertise. Took the technical difficulty route. ETA: Start at 6:12 LIVE: NASA scientists discuss the James Webb Telescope mission |

Talk about a deer in the headlights. Looked like she was about to cry lol.

I laughed at the sign language lady waiting impatiently for her to start talking.

Okay so the first question is "how long does it take the telescope to orbit around the L2 point"
The answer from the girl who seems to be the operations "expert" is... "The audio cut out... [disconnected]" The answer from the girl who is the astronomer seems to be talking around what a lagrange point is and orbits around the sun and stuff. I would expect that very few people know the answer to that specific question, and the answer is largely irrelevant. Any orbit about a lagrange point will be very small and the time it takes to complete will be fairly short and not relevant to anything but docking with that craft. |

I like how she realizes she has no idea, asks for the question again, panics, then disconnects from a live broadcast lol

My boss does this
Any question she can’t answer sorry I can’t hear you internet issues then drops off. |

I started watching it live and could only take a few minutes before I shut it off and took my dog on a four-mile hike.

Omg she’s back at around 15 minutes and can’t even answer a simple fucking question that I bet any man would have stored just out of general interest.

Brutal. Rest assured she was the best candidate for the position though. When you realize this is happening across all industries, from the pilot that flies you somewhere to the people responsible for big decisions with huge technical or financial implications, it's just a matter of time before the cracks start showing everywhere.

Anyone have a link to Man Power Science Hour? I'd really like to hear the answer to that question.

I lol'd, but I didn't watch the whole thing. So I'm guessing that the answer should be common knowledge for an engineer on a project like this. Like asking your cardiologist how much blood is pumped out of your heart with each beat and he has to leave the room to go look it up?

My guesstimate about the period was pretty wrong, but maybe that makes it easier to calculate the corrections.

I just want to point out that 9 year old me knew at least where/what L2 was because of Gundam, I am sure a slightly more nerdy 9 year old boy could answer that question right now.
When girls are into weird shit like that maybe they can do science. |

Did they ever say what those two women do on the program? I think the redhead is a scientist of some sort and seemed able to answer a bunch of other questions but at least had some energy about being there. I can't figure out what the girl on the right does but at the very least she just should not be in front of a camera as she just seemed to choke on a lot of questions which tells me she's probably has a pretty narrow role on the program. I've worked with some smart people that are just terrible interviews. That's why on a lot of the bigger DoD companies i've been in there's only a few people that are authorized to interact with media like this.
I guess my point is not everyone on a program that big is an SME on EVERYTHING. And if they got slapped with doing that show at the last minute they might not have had time to prep or have materials handy. Those women could have just been material scientists or something that don't have exposure to answer a lot of those questions coming off of social media like a Chief Scientist, Chief Engineer or Chief Architect would hopefully be able to. Hopefully they're not the leads. |
