Wow! Good for her! Better Sagan's book than a book of ancient myths from the infancy of human civilization, written by people who did not know where the sun went at night.
I can just imagine the Religious Reich, losing their shit over something like this ... IF they knew about it. As things are, it's dubious to me whether they would know or care about some NASA official they are completely unaware of, taking on a position of authority.
As it is, I'm thrilled that Ms. Weeden chose this way to begin her tenure as associate administrator, and I wish her all success!
How long until the maga caucus hears of this and we start hearing things like “See?! NASA is an atheist! They’re installing Jewish space lasers on our freedom! Huntrrr Biiiden!!!” ?
But why Contact? The bible is a work of fiction, but so is Contact (far better fiction, but fiction). I might have gone with Cosmos or any of his other non-fiction. But maybe that's just me. 👨🚀
Matt Gaetz and MTG are about to go haywire! Now they have a real mission to fix the gubment and rid it of troublemakers and atheists like this who dare to defy God and Real 'Murica.
Too each their own, however, if you are swearing an oath to the U. S. Constitution, then why not put your hand on a copy of the U. S. Constitution; that would also bring home hopefully to these folks that they are pledging an oath to the U. S. Constitution and not a president, or any person.

I thought I might post this a bit further up – remember this?
i can only imagine how people will cringe when i am sworn in as Overlord of the united states on a copy of The Twice-Dead King: Ruin
Beautiful. 👍👏

DEFUND NASA!!!!
Kinda makes up for the fact that James Webb was a raging homophobe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryb5qm7kNs4&t=57s
OT, but there's a new YouGuv/Economist poll that has Biden at 45% to Trump's 40%.
OT - No surprise here
