From the article:
...wait eagerly for Jessica Watkins to take the first step on Mars
There's an unfortunate name collision, I didn't know who Jessica Watkins was so Googled her, and the top results are for a Jessica Watkins who participated in the attack on the USA Capitol... I spent a moment pondering what her link to Mars was.. but farther down the results list is NASA astronaut Jessica Watkins.
It's a shame that the astronaut has her search results cluttered by the insurrectionist. Back when I was doing online dating, I shared a name (and similar age and nearby city) with the brother of a recently convicted serial killer, searching for my name brought up articles about him... I warned potential dates that if they looked me up online, I'm not that guy (which, I suppose, is exactly what the brother of a serial killer would say).
- DoctorBonkus 6y agoYes, a bit unfortunant, and I did the same thing. Being a non-american I thought she was a congresswoman as well. But it's such a minor detail and in the end no less, that it shouldn't detere from the main point of the article
- darig 6y agoThe first result for DDG is the oath keepers article too, but they feature the astronaut's wikipedia page covering the full right column, including her picture. I can't compare with Google results because I don't appreciate being spied on.
