Terry, you use a very interesting word in your posts and that is "understand".
Where does your "understanding" come from? It will be from what you have been told or read by the BiaP team; in much the same way that Artemis and Boeing "understood" the flights to be solo, in much the same way that the press "understood" her flights to be solo, and the awards committees at various establishments also "understood" her to be flying solo.
I appreciate your attempts to defend her but please "understand" that the truth is not what you and your colleagues have been spoon-fed.
Take a while to read back through this thread, it will be worth it and will clear up any mis-understanding as to the root cause of it all.
