There I salted you. What do you think now?
She contrib'd less than a half of 1 percent of the codebase:
Even other female members of her team are kinda miffed that the SJW media is propping up the whitest female on the team hahah
LOL 4chan's on it... shit's gonna go nuclear

And in more actual Astronomy related stuff (ie space), Falcon heavy launch is successful, all three boosters recovered.

She and her team came up with how to combine several theories on using some techniques to get the image (Chael also helped with that, though in a minor way), but it was Chael and many others (not including those who did all the work on the other algorithms that were combined) who actually got the final algorithm to work. So yea, she is getting WAY too much credit for the end result.There I salted you. What do you think now?

Still the most impressive shit to happen in the last two decades, imo. Nice to see a private business doing this and avoiding all the political pork that has ruined so much.

Writing correct code isnt science. It's difficult and time consuming and impressive when done right but it is not science.

Can't even trust the media for accurate science and tech news, I'm actually really pissed about that now. I was simply assuming she was one of those rare super smart nerdy chicks, and actually deserved the praise.

The worst part is she probably DID deserve the praise....but the SJW cuckmedia decided to lionize her as a Joan of Arc for women in STEM.
In so doing they not only burned the folks who did most the work, they actually managed to marginalize the OTHER WOMEN who also did most the work.

Apparently SpaceX also recovered the payload fairings and are going to use them again.

Oh they've always recovered the fairings after they hit saltwater... they just tow them back to port.
Musk said refurbishing them afterwards kinda made it worthless tho. So they wanted to try to catch them before they sit the saltwater.
Incidentally saltwater+SRB was what made the shuttle so worthless. The savings on the orbiter wasn't worth it.

There's no particular reason to shit on her JUST because she's female.
It's how group projects work. They're all listed as contributors.
She couldn't have done it without his code. He wouldn't have done it without her organization. It's a communal effort, but someone gets the glory. Works that way with all male teams and we don't really bitch as long as everyone's contribution is recognized.
Science reporting is going to champion her. But of course they are. I think that bit can be pointed out without having to diminish her contributions. She was the boss-lady.
I fully expect to be rewarded appropriately for this white knighting.

I was trying to find a graphic about just how mammoth m87's black hole / EH was. Found this vid which just TURN OFF THE SOUND. It is very nicely done except the cretin though we needed to here his tunes. But the scale issues are amazing.

It's all fake news broski. Anything reported since WWII is spun, half truths or outright lies by the media. It's just that we're finally able to see it now because of how easy information is to access these days.

The science you're talking about would never have been implemented in a way to do what it theorized it could do without the code. Aside from that, I am not trying to say she doesn't deserve credit for what she and her team did, rather I disagree with the amount of credit she alone is getting considering the number of other people involved in the theory and implementation. Hm, if coding isn't science, is math? I mean, coming up with a formula to describe something abstract is difficult, time consuming and super impressive when done right, right? ;p
