  1. Nevermind the fact that Jeff Bozo is a total tRUMP ass kisser, supporting an abuser of women (as well as anyone that is a non-white male). Give me a break!

  3. Privileged women w/an excessive amount of plastic surgery go to space in little blue suits sounds so trite & vulgar.

    Lauren Sanchez is the pinnacle of trite, vulgar & plastic.

    All woman aspire to be Lauren, the accessory of a wealthy tech bro toad of a man w/ zero morals who bent the knee to 🍊.🙄

  5. Reminds me of a scene from the Handmaids tale where they let the birth mother see and hold the baby she was made to give away! Just to keep her from rebelling.

    Is this suppose to keep us from rebelling??

  6. Exactly! They served as props that happened to be female. Yes, a couple are scientists, but the little ride they took is a display of wealth and privilege, not a historic accomplishment. The first woman in space was Valentina Tereshkova who spent 3 days in space in 1963. She is an actual cosmonaut.

  7. Let’s not forget about Gail King as well. Spending half a million dollars on a 10 minute ride while people are starving and losing their livelihoods is a little selfish…. IMO

  8. They're like 'oh we're going to be inspiring girls to reach for the stars' and I'm all' gimme a break,this generation will be the last girls who were allowed to read'

  9. Women of privilege going to space doesn't inspire anything, other than, "better get richer if you want to maintain your privilege." Playing Trump's game and kissing the ring isn't an inspiration, it is the downfall of America.

    Frankly who gives a damn that Lauren Sanchez & Katy Perry went to space on the day Democracy died? I don't. I have better things to think about.

  11. They want women at home with kid.

    It remind me the France during WWII with the slogan “travail, famille, patrie”

    • travail, work: now they want American handwork as in asia
    • famille, family: women have only one purpose, spouse and mother
    • Patrie, Patriot: MAGA

    Welcome in France 1941 style

  12. Thank you. I also found this totally disgusting.
    So many people don’t know how they are going to financially survive because of this Regime & millionaires like Bezos Bezos money should be going to pay his share of federal taxes & assisting those in dire financial need because of him instead this

  13. I can see 10 years from now in history class "sally ride was the first US woman in space" knock knock excuse me you need to come with us. We only teach the Blue Origin Woman Pioneer story in THESE United States brought to you by Amazon. You will now be sent to work in the fulfillment center

  14. I'm fiercely supportive of women's achievements.

    This isn't one.

    This is a distraction from the fact that women's historical achievements with NASA & everywhere else are being erased.

  15. They're complicit in giving a pass to Besos who has the rest of us boycotting, protesting & now losing to the Save Act because he supported fascism. I have no fucks to give those rah rah traitorous women who rolled over for an 11 min amusement park ride & will likely attend his $$$$ wedding.

  16. But Katy studied string theory to prep for this ten minute flight where all they were was baggage! Maybe she can make a video of everything she understands about string theory! She's practically an astrophysicist now!

  17. Just goes to show how ultimately out of touch celebrities are with what real people are facing. Support those who offer real solutions: T Swift, Bono, Keanu, Dolly, EltonJohn….

  18. Those women going into space inspire nothing. Just another reminder of the vast expanse between rich and poor. Listening to Katy Perry's drivel about her fascination with space ending with "we're all stardust" made me want to vomit.

  19. Yep, a completely tone deaf and stupid stunt that only underscores how out of touch the uber wealthy are.

  21. It inspired me to never shop at Amazon or any Jeff Bezos affiliate company again. As if we needed another reason.

  22. How about the women stand up to Bezos and the fact he dismantled DEI at Amazon and supports a bigot and a man who has sexually assaulted women? How about that?

  23. When I first heard there was an all-female astronaut team going I thought it was cool until I actually saw the article. They aren’t astronauts, they are just overpaid women who taxied a ride for about 10 minutes. Nothing to see here.

    1
  24. What a huge waste of money! The rich need to pay more taxes instead of funding space joy rides. This is not inspiring.

    0
  25. Then it becomes apparent that it's not supposed to inspire women to be astronauts or scientists or aerospace engineers, it's supposed to inspire you to go on television and be rich for being on television

  26. How can it be an inspiration? What stops women going into space (if that is what they want to do) is not the fact that they are women. It's the cost.

    0
  27. Agree! I find it absurd... the financing, waste of $$$$$ and pure attention-getting.... nothing to be proud of. Hard-working women everywhere are just doing their best. 10 minutes in space is nothing. Sorry to see it.

  28. Nice that the 1% had the opportunity for a trip to space but really, in an autonomous craft, they were passengers, not crew, and it’s little more than a really expensive theme park ride.

  29. This stunt is the modern version of 1889 rich girls "trekking" off to Yellowstone Park to ride the modern technology on Yellowstone Lake. The message is; We're rich enough to do this, and you're not.

  30. Snoop Dog's sales dropped like a rock after he performed at the inauguration. Let's hope the same happens here. I'm definitely not inspired. What a joke.

  31. I don’t get it: What was “inspiring” about it? Filthy rich women spending 11 minutes getting a bunch of attention for doing nothing. Gee, how impressive. 😳

    1
  32. I just don't understand what the "inspiration" would be from these woman whose only reason they went up into space is that they could afford to purchase the $500,000 to a Million Dollar tickets. My inspiration comes from women who are balancing family & work life on meager funds.

    0
  33. I find NOTHING “inspirational” about women who purchase their way into space. It’s a PSA for wealth and entitlement, and nothing more.

    These publicity stunts make light (if not mockery) of actual female pilots, engineers etc. who make it into space via MERIT.

  34. This is such a "let them eat cake" moment. People are being stripped of their social security and Medicaid and these socialites are flying into "space" for 10 minutes for a joy ride with a billionaire. How completely out of touch can you be?

  35. Girls, you don't have to be JUST a model, you can like go into space and stuff. (How's my hair look?)

  36. What was her job on the flight, besides "looking nice" (in which she failed) and provide a lot of money for the trip?

    0
  37. Inspire them to do what? Try to get jobs that they shouldn't get because they can't possibly deserve the job, it must be because they're women that they were hired through "illegal DEI"?

  38. And any married women are having their right to vote undermined by the SAVE Act...

    Irony is dead.

  39. I thought this too. How demeaning and dismissive to women who have been working in the field their entire lives to have cosplayers act like it’s the same. When it’s just a vanity project for Bezos’ fiancée.

  40. I really wish the sainted Sally Ride were alive to see this, and comment. She was an actual astronaut and icon, among other amazing women scientists. Really glad there was no problem with cabin pressure on this stupid little trip because there could have been serious damage to expensive implants.

    Those two privileged people going to space even for a few seconds does not impress me. Think less of them because of their show of privilege. Don't really support them anyway. They are of no interest.

  42. The money those women paid Bezos could have done some real good for a lot of people. What a fucking selfish world we live in. Plus it was a waste of time and media coverage.

  43. Entitled woman with their speeches of love. The way they spoke of space and made me think:you just set woman’s intelligence to a caveman scenario bc you were so lucky to ride Bezos rocket to space! 🤮It was just a rich girls folly. No, understanding of space and the science! It was just sickening!

  45. Valentina Tereshkova, 1963. First woman in space and only woman to have been on a solo space mission. Three days in space, orbited the Earth 48 times. That's inspiring.

  50. It is not inspiring to see rich women pay their way onto a space craft for a publicity stunt. It is inspiring to see women out there fighting YET A-FUCKING-GAIN to be equally recognized in for their hard work and dedication:

  52. So if I get this right, women are supposed to be inspired to create great things and work their butts off, but then men are supposed to get all the credit- because, you know, DEI. How very 1960s of them.

  53. Yeah, especially when it's basically an insanely expensive amusement park ride inside a ginormous dildo.🍆 Just a complete distraction & I could care less.🤷🏽‍♀️

  56. Katy Perry and an all-female crew, head to space in a flying dick... If that doesn't scream patriarchy I don't know what does.

  57. Sorry but the trophy wife of an arrogant, self absorbed rich guy and a pop singer are not the sort of “example” one would think of for women aspiring to greater things.

  58. Ummm . . . Wealthy women are being propagandized while hard-working educated female scientists are being RIF’d/fired. How is the news being presented/sold?

  59. This commercial play of these disgustingly wealthy women and the fuzz they made about it is a insult to all the women who were in space before them for a real job.
