NASA Won’t Rename the James Webb Space Telescope–and Astronomers Are Angry

If NASA found that Webb were directly responsible for the firing of gay and lesbian people, you think they would still keep the name?

FWIW, I think we shouldn't name scientific instruments after non-scientist government officials. I really don't see how that's a good choice in the first place.

People are going to examine the records anyway, esp. once the archives are open again, so I'm surprised at the lack of a NASA report of what was done.

Also, I'm curious why there's no mention of Webb as an administrator during the Jim Crow area.
