Description

Here’s a transcription of the text from the comic:

Panel 1: "Listen, we could talk all day long about whether space research is a good return on investment for society."

Panel 2: "We can insist on its applications, to material science, or to defense, or to climate observation."

Panel 3: "Sure, but that's not why we do it. That's not why we're here. That's not why I'm here."

Panel 4: "When I was a young girl in math class, I had a teacher—Mister Jenson. I am a scientist because of him."

Panel 5: "You see… back when I was young and impressionable and a little lost… he said I wasn't very good at math."

Panel 6: "And ever since then, I've wanted to drown his stupid face in my VICTORY!"

Panel 7: "Do you see me landing a fucking spaceship on a fucking asteroid? Huh?!"

Panel 8: "Kiss my ass, Jenson! You can calculate the area of my VULNUS and goddamn kiss it!"

Panel 9: "Look at me now, bitch! Look at me!"

Panel 10: (shows chaos around her)

Panel 11: (shows an older man sitting in a chair watching TV)
