    You know, I was confused when I heard about the “all women” crew. I was like, “how forward after all the craziness happening.”

    But it’s just more rich fucks. And how fucking tone deaf. Read the fucking room. “You’re all losing jobs and being denied rights? But what if a billionaire took a millionaire into space? Wouldn’t that be inspiring!”

    This is a rich people’s vanity project. Spinning it as some kind of victory for womens’ empowerment is complete bullshit.

      Who is spinning it that way? I’m really asking. I keep seeing this story in memes but I’m out of the loop

      just like Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris running for president….
      i very much want a woman president, but not just any woman and voting for them solely because they’re women with virtually no other accomplishments (i did vote for both of them, but just because trump is cheeto hitler)

    Just shooting rich people into space (and letting them return) for no particular reason is dumb enough. We really don’t need you to make it even dumber.

    This is the clearest case I have ever seen of pareidolia I have ever seen, and I saw people talking about sphinxes on Mars.

    I might just be seeing things, but do those flight suits have flared bottoms?

    Bezos has gone too far, he must be stopped.

      Omg, you are right! That is just the height of arrogance since the only way they could actually provide any protection in the case of a decompression, you know, the thing that is the only job of an extra atmospheric flight suit, would be if there was an air tight sleeve attached to the boots. That would make the pants just fashion and wasted weight being launched. The extra kg of fabric would not add a lot to the fuel costs, but it would be measurable.

      One group of billionaires went squish under the ocean, another is going to end up finding out how they make astronaut food in space.

    That’s a pretty great coincidence. Upright you’re an astronaut, but flip and you’re the agent of the devil

      Oh hahaha oh my gosh no. No. Hahaha no, she was on this non-space airplane ride because she is so painfully UNCOOL that she’s having trouble selling tickets to shows. This was a “NOTICE ME” stunt by her PR people
