Before the controversy, I passionately talked with my sister about how your feat could add more to our knowledge of the solar system and what role do the comets play in the greater picture. We could understand how they could bring water, various molecules and possibly the ingredients needed for the birth of life. The conversation was about fifteen minutes long and I wanted to thank the entire team for having accomplisshed such a feat, keeping in mind the long work and the patience behind it. Then came the controversy. Days, weeks, months and years of hard work, where everything could possibly go wrong, have been stomped, spit over, pissed on by a coward going by the name of Chris Plante and a horde of hysterical parasites known as Social Justice Warriors and 3rd Wave Feminists. For what? A shirt that offended them, triggered them and made them feel insecure. It was so ugly that you... Well you know. Just know that I'll remember you and your team, the great men and women who worked hard for this project and for helping humanity to advance. We will remember you. Not the cowards and the parasites who bullied you and shamed you. History will remember Matt Taylor and his team. Not Chris Plante, the SJWs and 3rd wave feminists. Okay, maybe they will be remembered but more like bad jokes, caricatures and a small footnote in a satirical wiki about how hypocritical, ridiculous and embarrassing first world people with too much free time can get. Even if the vast internet separate us, you have my pat on your shoulder. And always remember, in the next decades, we will remember you for the comet landing. And that is all that count.

Thanks to Matt and the whole team at the ESA for advancing humankind, I can't believe that yet again, a major achievement has been undermined by this minority with a poisonously jealous and pernicious mindset. Kudos to the lady who designs such shirts as well, she will no doubt get set upon by the 'brigade of permanent offence'. It's women like Rose Eveleth that are the reason few women go into STEM, the doors are guarded by nasty little people like her. I missed all the drama as this happened on my birthday, I caught the landing though it was brilliant. Let's hope that one day all this identity politics is behind the human species and we make star trek a real possibility. One awesome shirt for a man, one giant leap for mankind.

Matt, you're a great man. You have pushed the bounds of humanity's accomplishments greatly. Some people look for any opportunity to get offended. You have accomplished more than all of the people who insulted you and brought you to tears. Most of them are useless human beings who have accomplished nothing thus far in their lives and can only feel important about themselves by attacking others who are better than them. Please pay their hypocrisy no heed- they're the kind of people who are up in arms about non existent issues about women not being able to wear what they want- but now attack you for wearing what you want. Above all else though, one day in years to come- when they're all footnotes in the pages of history- you will be remembered for your accomplishments. I have no doubt about that.

Support from France, because you are not alone. Please, if anybody has his postal information, I want to do more. He need to receive concrete support, even a letter. Contact me here or via an e-mail. I need however to get some proof that he will receive the letter, in case some people have bad intentions. You think something has small as this could have no value, but he needs to understand that it is not just words behind a small screen, this man and his colleges helped mankind, worked hard, nobody should blame, shame and discredit them for what they did. Strong support and kudos to you Matt, what your team did is unique, and NOBODY, no matter what they say, will take you that. Keep that in mind and stay strong, because we are behind you backing you up.

People who achieve greatness will always be beset by the empty nattering of mental midgets. You are around intelligent people all day, so I am sure such stupidity is a bit of a shock to you. Make no mistake: You epitomize the greatness of humanity. All sane, intelligent people recognize this.

Great job Matt! You have earned the right to wear whatever you want. Don't take a word of criticism from those bullies.

Matt, you have more worth, value, and accomplishment in a nail clipping from your pinkie than these cackling vultures have collectively around the world. Don't ever feel bullied, kowtowed, or in any way shamed for expressing yourself. Believe me when I tell you, there is an internet-load of geeks out there who would give anything to achieve what you and your team have done with Rosetta. Wear whatever you want, and let those single-minded jackasses go pound sand.

Seriously, screw people bitching about shirts. This dude has accomplished more for humanity than the rest of the SJW collective combined.

The social media is now filled with people who want to decide how men behave, think and even dress. Go and teach those effeminates who do slavery for women... I know what I should wear... I wish I had that shirt...

There's not even a single naked woman on that shirt. If some would-be-feminist SJW hypocrite feels that her mediocre life needs more attention, why won't she step up and try to achieve something that's actually beneficial for the humanity rather then just opress hardworking people without a good reason?

Matt, love your shirt and I think you honored your (female) friend who made it for you by wearing it on an important day like today. Feminism does nothing but destroy while people like you create and produce amazing things. These low lifes will never accomplish anything as great as you did this week man! Keep up the good work!

I'd guess you can just address it to Dr Matt Taylor and send it to the European Space Agency address...
