Leland Melvin, the retired NASA astronaut behind a famously adorable portrait featuring his two dogs, is calling out President Donald Trump for his attacks on protesting athletes. “You actually said there were nice people on both sides,” Melvin wrote on Facebook. Melvin wrote on Saturday:“You are basically calling his white mother a bitch. If you can’t do the job then please step down and let someone else try,” he wrote. In addition to the orbital perspective, Melvin brings some football perspective to the issue: He was drafted by the Lions and also invited to the Cowboys camp, but due to injuries never played in any regular season games.
