Support and honour for the accomplishments of Matt Taylor

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 are not alone. I looked for ways to contact you and this was then best I found: please, please, do not give up on science, keep on doing what you love and are great at - don´t let some bitchy feminist-ish people (these are not really anywhere close to being reasonable feminists) spoil the joy of your achievement!

You are actually doing something for the benefit of the human race, and you've got my complete admiration for it. We need more Matts and fewer short-sighted people. We need more scientists and fewer "fashion critics". You, sir, have earned the right to wear whatever you damn please. In my book, you are a hero and heroes get to choose their outfit. Cheers from Mexico. Keep on rocking.

As Newton said “I was like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.” Although the ocean that he sat next to has been traversed, you are on the shore of new, uncharted ocean. Its thanks to people like you that humanity keeps on striding! Matt, don't listen to those fools! At the end of the day people won't look back on these days and see a t-shirt, they will see a small step in the march of progress of mankind! Never forget that you are at the frontier of science! You and your colleagues are forging a new understanding of the world, if only people were mature enough to see that; the achievements of a person and not the t-shirt he wears.... Stay strong Matt and congrats on Philae!

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.

Your name will remain in history, and haters will die before reaching anything. Matt, we are with you!

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.

Hi Faye, they're a lot of negative comments about femanists on this petition and I think you've highlighted this recrimination well. "Shirtstorm" is not a reflection on the majority of femanists, though a reflection of a few extremists that have associated themselves with femanism. It should indeed be about equal rights. Not about the oppressed becoming the oppressors based on the interpretation of expression from a few selective individuals. It's always encouraging to see rational comments like yours.

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

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.

Thank-You Matt for your contribution. I'm happy to read all the support you are getting. Beautiful Shirt

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...

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!

Dr Taylor, I remember the Apollo missions. You and your team stand alongside them. Thank you for all you have done, and will do in the future to further our understanding of the cosmos. If your friend wants to sell those shirts to help fund your work, I will buy one, Sincerely, woman, wife, mother, grandmother.

Those women in fact insult your right to do whatever you want , so fuck them

Dude, what you did is AMAZING. As a woman, I also think your shirt is AMAZING. On the other hand, the way this feminism sh!t is going is offending me as a woman. Who do I complain about that to? Or is it now Fem-ception? I'm confused. Regardles... Congrats on your achievement and seriously forget those people causing problems over a shirt.
