Reply #73: then I formally apologise to Colonel Collins

[northzax]

for calling her the best shuttle commander we have. And for saying she did her job well. because that's all I ever said about her. I will never say it again.

You thought I was being demeaning, I was giving her credit for doing her job well, and it is her job, remember that. apparently, treating her the same way I would treat anyone else in the position is demeaning to her.

If NASA didn't think she was the right person for the job, they wouldn't have sent her. They did, and she was. but that's not enough for you, I guess.
