Things look a little more aligned. Next I guess is to focus each panel, then converge.

Spoiler alert. It will be a clear dot.

Is this the moment where I use the monolith to travel through space and time to meet my fetal self?

James Webb served from 1961-1968, as wrong as it was homophobia was a normal popular sentiment in the 60's-70's. to go back 60 years and punish his family and legacy for this is ridiculous IMO.

Remember Archie Bunker? All in the Family was one of the most popular sitcoms in history, should Norman Lear be stripped of his 5 emmys, his HOF honor? should Carroll O'Connor be stripped of his 5 emmys and 2 golden globes?

This new wave of social activism is out of hand.

Quote:
Norman Lear originally intended that Bunker be strongly disliked by audiences. Lear was shocked when Bunker quietly became a beloved figure to much of middle America. Lear thought Bunker's opinions on race, sex, marriage, and religion were so wrong as to represent a parody of right-wing bigotry.

Who knows?

I should be noted that NASA has found no evidence implicating Webb in any wrongdoing while with NASA nor any role in the "lavender scare" when he served in the house.

Looking into this more it appears these accusations likely came from one person, astrophysicist Hakeem Oluseyi was 1 years old when Webb retired.

Maybe he figured out time travel

Sounding like 10-12 weeks out, if anyone was wondering.
