Lewes FC's Case for the Defence. But no Prosecution in Sight. The Town Hall Presentation Part I

During the ‘consultation’ period to consider the Mercury 13 proposal we saw very little consulting at the first Town Hall meeting. Just the case for the defence. One sided argument in favour fronted by the Board of Directors. In this first blog about this crucial ‘meeting’ I will do my own ‘myth busting’ about the proposal. The first half hour was essentially why the board feel we need to accede…

Honoring those who come before you

So recently I was watching the Netflix documentary Mercury 13 about the 1st woman that signed up to go to the moon. They weren't allowed to go in the end, even though they passed all the tests that the men had, it didn't matter.

They got mad and took this to court. They thought that having another famous woman pilot there would help their case. Jacqueline Cochran was the first woman to fly faster than the speed of sound and, at the time of her death in 1980, she held more speed, altitude, and distance records than any other male or female pilot in aviation history. The only reason she got to do any of this was because her husband was building fighter jets for our country, for the war.

When she was asked in court if she thought that these women should be sent to space, she said she didn't believe so and because of her testimony President Johnson at the time put his foot down and said there would be no more women in the space program.

Years later we actually got our 1st woman astronaut that was going into space.

Eileen Marie Collins was a former flight instructor and test pilot, Collins was picked to be the first woman to pilot the Space Shuttle and the first to command a Space Shuttle mission.

She knew what happened to the Mercury 13 and these women were her heroes growing up. And so she invited them to be there for her launching into space for the 1st time. She even called a press conference and gave thanks to them for paving the way before her because if it wasn't for them she wouldn't be going into space at that moment.

I literally cried while watching this because my philosophy in life is to lift up other women. The fact that Jacqueline Cochran could have lifted them up and made them the 1st woman in space but instead cut them down. Whether it was because of jealousy or insecurity or just wanting to feel that she was the 1st woman that was allowed to fly fighter jets, who knows. All I know is that she didn't lift up these women to help them when she could have, is sad. There are many women like that but I'm happy to say that more women, at least the ones that I know, want other women to succeed.

I have been surrounded by strong women my whole life, women that have fought for other women's rights and believed in equality. So I have to carry on that legacy to also empower women because only when we empower each other, we all become stronger.

So today my friends remember there is room for millions of brightly lit stars out there. We must all lift, encourage and empower one another to become the brightest.

#Herstory #UnDiaComoHoy Geraldyn M. Cobb (5 de marzo de 1931 - 18 de marzo de 2019), comúnmente conocida como #JerrieCobb, fue una #aviadora estadounidense. Formó parte del #Mercury13, un grupo de mujeres que se sometieron a pruebas físicas y psicológicas al mismo tiempo que los #astronautas del Mercury Seven originales. Fue la primera en completar cada una de las pruebas. Dado que no se trataba de un programa oficial de la NASA ni ella ni ninguna de sus compañeras fueron seleccionadas para convertirse en astronautas. Tampoco logró los apoyos necesarios en el Congreso para que el programa espacial incluyera a mujeres. Fue muy precoz; con 16 años participaba en exhibiciones aeronáuticas, con 18 años logró una licencia de piloto comercial, a los 19 era profesora de vuelo y a los 21 transportaba bombarderos. La discriminación sexual de la época y el retorno de muchos pilotos de la II Guerra Mundial limitaron su progresión y tuvo que aceptar trabajos menos calificados como la fumigación aérea de cultivos. Fue la primera mujer en participar en el Salón de la Aeronáutica de París y se la galardonó con el Premio Amelia Earhart. En 1962 fue citada a testificar ante el Subcomité de Selección de Astronautas, que investigaba la discriminación sexual del programa. El astronauta John Glenn argumentó que el hecho de que las mujeres no participaran en este campo "formaba parte del orden social”. Los requisitos de la NASA exigían que los aspirantes fueran pilotos de pruebas de las fuerzas aéreas, entre los que no se encontraba ninguna mujer. En 1999 la Organización Nacional de Mujeres puso en marcha una campaña para que la #NASA la enviara al espacio junto con John Glenn como parte de un programa para investigar los efectos del envejecimiento en los astronautas y reparar el agravio que habían cometido tres décadas atrás. Cobb, de 67 años, creía que era necesario enviar a una mujer de edad avanzada para comparar sus efectos entre géneros y se veía como la candidata ideal ya que había superado las mismas pruebas que Glenn. La NASA no aceptó su propuesta y declaró que no tenía intención de enviar a más personas mayores al espacio. #efemérides #pionera #educarenigualdad https://www.instagram.com/p/Cat4to7qfwD/?utm_medium=tumblr

"Mercury 13 is a bustling yet sharp look at another overlooked group of trailblazing women from the post-WW2-era that should get the feature film treatment. Can be dull at times for such a short documentary, however." ⭐⭐⭐ #Mercury13 #SeeIt #StreamIt #Netflix https://t.co/oUmy78n6z9 #Netflix #netflixoriginal #netflixmovies #netflixdocumentary https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm9q_pwhuwH/?igshid=3vwi58x1h5m4

Mercury 13 premieres today

Mercury 13, the new movie from David Sington and Heather Walsh, is out today.

“If we’re going to send a human being to space, we should send the one most qualified.” Mercury 13 tells the remarkable true story of the women who fought for their place in the stars.

MARION DIETRICH // PILOT

“She was an American pilot and one of the Mercury 13 who underwent the same NASA testing in the early 1960s as the Mercury 7 astronauts. She and her sister were among the select group of female aviators invited to the Lovelace Clinic where experts screened potential NASA astronauts. Though only 5’3 and 100 pounds, Dietrich completed the regimen of tests, as did her sister and 11 other women.”

Why The Mercury 13 Involvement with Lewes FC is Doomed to Fail.

Far too many components need to align for the Mercury13 investment to be a success at Lewes FC. Like many trumped up investment opportunities that fail, so will this. Before we even had confirmation that an owner’s vote would happen, I said from the offset that it was silly of the board not to accede to one straight away, as they would win; there is no doubt in my mind that Lewes FC will press…

Wally Funk of the 'Mercury 13' to finally fly into space next week

Wally Funk of the #Mercury13 to finally fly into space next week aboard @blueorigin's #NewShepard rocket. #NS16 #NSFirstHumanFlight

Wally Funk went through many of the same screening tests that the original Mercury astronauts underwent. However, she never got a chance to fly into space. Now the 82-year-old pilot will be joining Jeff Bezos on the first crewed suborbital spaceflight of Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket as early as July 20, 2021.

#Herstory #UnDiaComoHoy Mary Wallace Funk (Las Vegas, Nuevo México; 1 de febrero de 1939), más conocida como #WallyFunk, es una aviadora estadounidense que formó parte del programa espacial #Mercury13. El Mercury 13 fue un programa secreto, y con fondos privados, creado por William Randolph "Randy" Lovelace II para llevar al espacio a la primera mujer #astronauta. Se seleccionaron a 13 mujeres #pioneras en el campo de la #aviación para que se sometieran a las mismas pruebas físicas y psicológicas a las que se habían sometido a los hombres del programa Mercury 7. Randy Lovelace quería demostrar con estos tests que las mujeres también podían soportarlos y, en definitiva, convertirse en astronautas al igual que los hombres. Las participantes no solo pasaron las pruebas sino que, en algunos casos, superaron las marcas registradas por los hombres. Pero no fue suficiente para la NASA, que abortó el programa y no creyó que la mujer mereciera ir al espacio. Tampoco recibieron el apoyo de los astronautas referentes de la época, los cuales, además de la poca valoración de las capacidades de la mujer, creían que si esta llegara al espacio ellos dejarían de acaparar el cien por cien del protagonismo de su sector. Pero el aborto del programa y todos los esfuerzos llevados a cabo no fueron en vano, pues el desempeño y la capacidad mostrada por estas mujeres abrió los ojos a gran parte de la sociedad y armó de valor a las mujeres que finalmente sí conquistarían el espacio. Fue la primera civil #instructoradevuelo en una base militar norteamericana, la primera #inspectora de la Agencia Federal de Aviación de Estados Unidos (Federal Aviation Administration, FAA) y la primera #investigadora de seguridad aérea para la Junta Nacional de Seguridad en el Transporte (National Transportation Safety Board, NTSB). El 20 de julio de 2021, a la edad de 82 años, formó parte de la misión NS-16 de Blue Origin, convirtiéndose en la persona de mayor edad en ir al espacio. — Wikipedia 👀 Mercury 13 https://youtu.be/jpiVx2mQhKI #efemerides #educarenigualdad #educarenfeminismo #schooloffeminism https://www.instagram.com/p/CZbXBlEKcQ8/?utm_medium=tumblr

RHEA WOLTMAN // PILOT

“She was an American pilot and a member of the Mercury 13. She flew competitively, and completed one of the major flights of the era for women, a solo flight from Houston and Anchorage in a Piper Super Cub with floats. Working as a charter pilot, Woltman flew over North America and also flew in the International Women’s Air Race and in the Powder Puff Race. In March 1961, she started training as an astronaut. She cleared all physical tests and was a part of the First Lady Astronaut Trainees. She was one of the thirteen women who passed all the astronauts given at the Lovelace Clinic.”
