Bobbie was employed with Frontier Space Company in Truth & Consequences, New Mexico as a Space Coordinator for seven (7) years. Bobbie applied for an open position as a Ship Maintenance Team Lead which paid $20.00 per hour more than she was currently earning. This position required Bobbie to climb on top of a Space shuttle wearing a repair vest and helmet weighing approximately 25 pounds to make repairs. A team of 5 employees, all comprised of men, were already members of the Ship Maintenance team. The men told human resources, in charge of hiring, that they did not want to work with a "dyke" who could not lift more than a vacuum. Frontier Space Company declined to admit Bobbie into the training program for the position claiming that she was incapable of performing the duties of the position because she had failed a physical fitness test the year before, which required completion of 20 pushups and 30 sit-ups.
