Rosetta Scientist Pisses Off Twitter With A Shirt Covered In Half-Naked Women
All of humanity made history today by landing a spacecraft on a comet.
Unfortunately, many of the women following that development - and a few men, too - were made to feel pretty unwelcome in the space exploration sphere when one of the people leading the mission decided to show up to talk about it wearing a shirt covered in dozens of half-naked women.
After Rosetta Project Scientist Matt Taylor wore the shirt while talking to reporters during a global livestream of the comet landing, people watching took to Twitter in frustration:
Interestingly, Taylor recently participated in a live online chat with the Wall Street Journal in which he was asked how he gained acceptance in such a respected field while sporting sleeve-length tattoos.
He responded, "The people I work with don't judge me by my looks but only by the work I have done and can do. Simple."
We reached out to the European Space Agency for comment and will update this post if we hear back.
