"Space travel is dangerous ! It seems a pointless unnecessary risk to take."
It is dangerous, and well worth the risk if you're doing something intelligent, like exploration, mining, etc.. This isn't that. This is vanity, that apparently billionaires acquire at equal amounts to their cash.
Instead of sending a crew of b listers to space Jeff why don’t you start spending that money on improving the life of everyday citizens. It’s disgusting that you’re not funding a hospital, school or the arts. Instead you’re playing who’s ding dong is bigger with Musk. You’re gross and disgusting.
Why? Why spend hundreds of millions sending celebrities into space “FOR ELEVEN MINUTES!!” When you could use that money, to improve the lives of millions? Selfish bloody world we live in
Article a bit empty. The point is: ok: girl band is so cool, do big space stuff without even a testicle etc. That s nice, but still, girls or boys, what is the interest here ?
Can we not call the Blue Origin trip a “female crew”? They were glorified passengers on a billionaire joyride. “Women power”? One of them cheered Trump’s inauguration—you know, that guy. But sure, let’s pretend this is progress.

I spoke out when Captain Kirk made his flight to outer space while there are homeless and starving out on the streets obviously believing in his own fictional character to go where not many men or women have boldly gone before! Now we have an all woman crew doing the same for fame its deplorable!
SUCCESSFUL DEI
space launch called NS-31, included Lauren Sánchez, pop star Katy Perry and television personality Gayle King along with Shepard rocket, scientist Aisha Bowe, bioastronautics research scientist Amanda Nguyen and film producer Kerianne Flynn
But why! We lay of people all over the place and then we sent people up there for just the bragging rights! It is stupid to allow this kind of tourism.
Guardian describing this nauseating display Sanchez's "hen party." Conspicuous consumption doesn't even start to cover this fiasco. The food banks in my community are in dire need of donations for food.
This is disgusting. There are women who have put in the work, are scientists, train to do this much of their lives and never come close to going to space. What an embarrassment for my fellow women.

you have rich people going to space "for fun", while at the same time you have "us poors" being abducted off the streets and shipped off to a central american prison. Typical out-of-touch-with-reality rich folk!
Absolutely disgusting that they have NOTHING better to do with all that money and instead of helping others they take this joy ride.HYPOCRITES people with money are totally worthless. They should be ashamed!!!!!
Exciting times ahead! It's incredible to see such a talented group of women heading to the edge of space. Let’s hope they bring back some stellar stories—literally!
I'd rather they build houses for the unhoused, or be subject to expensive property tax multipliers for every home or commercial or agricultural property they own + automatic audits every year.

I have no words for my contempt.
*Faints from peak excitement*
I wish the worst for them, always.
Not to mention just how much of a message it sends to everyone who gives a damn about the environment!
Such a tone-deaf elitist display.
Doesn't sound so good, does it?!
Imagine if these “ celebrities” were to donate to charitable causes the equivalent amount that they are spending on their fare aboard the stargazer.
Don't see why Mar-a-Lago face was front & centre.

Oh to spend money b/c you have nothing better to do and the money is just burning a hole in his pocket
So many ways that money could be used to help society… these women are awful people

The only valid reason to send a rich person to space is to get rid of them!
Doesn't seem to buy brains.
Fuck your "flex."
