    Where do you guys get this nonsense from? Is there some sort of conspiracy theory factory? Do you have any idea how the rest of the world behaved during this time period? You are a…

    Non-secretary women were not in short supply at NASA at this time though. The work of Virginia E. Morrell and Bonnie J. McBride a few years earlier, at this same research center sp…
