Trump has a call with NASA astronauts and can’t be bothered to understand the one single aspect of the latest spacewalk that makes it historic: “This is the first time for a woman outside of the space station,” Trump said. He later added: “You are amazing people; they’re conducting the first ever female spacewalk to replace an exterior part of the space station. They’re doing some work, and they’re doing it in a very high altitude — an altitude that very few people will ever see.” In her response, Meir made it clear that they were building on the work of many previous women who had spacewalked before them. “We don’t want to take too much credit because there have been many other female spacewalkers before,” Meir said. “This is the first time that there’s been two women outside at the same time.” > **[Trump just got fact-checked from space, again](https://www.theverge.com/2019/10/18/20921058/trump-spacewalk-astronauts-female-space-station-iss)** > > It’s been done before ---

Is it called “altitude” if it’s outside earth’s atmosphere, IOW in space? ---

About 30% of Americans are in a Kim-like personality cult and are perfectly fine with an authoritarian president, as long as he hates the same people they do.

I assume that you’re being facetious, or talking in Trumps voice. Anyway, [this](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christina_Koch#/media/File:Christina_Koch_official_portrait_in_an_EMU.jpg) should be the recommended dress for any woman meeting with Trump. And yes I am being facetious. No doubt she would not need that space suit to kick dumb asses ass. ---

Both sides of the conversation are taking place at the same time in his own head. Orange buffoon should be in a full mental straight jacket. While we’re at it, it’s strait-jacket (and strait-laced), not straight. Strait meaning “narrow” (as in the Bering Straits) or “tight,” as opposed to straight, “not crooked.” ---
