Episode description

This is part 3 in the NASA James Webb Telescope naming controversy! Make sure you've listened to the first two! When NASA decided to keep the name James Webb for their telescope, the decision was so abruptly made and hastily communicated that not just one but several journalists submitted FOIA requests to see what actually happened. This trove of emails is the result of that. I take you through the highlights and lowlights. There are SEVERAL smoking guns in these emails. Not only were those not mentioned in the NYT coverage, these emails were not even acknowledged at ALL. They tell quite a different story about how this was handled, and it's not good. Like very not good. Oh and Hakeem Oluseyi is full of shit.
