Aside from the dreadful, wasteful act of just popping into space for 11 minutes, the framing of this is driving me insane. If it was men it would be a big scientific breakthrough or something but because it’s women it has to be soft and fluffy and about “hope”. Honestly fuck off with it all. - ThreadSky

Agreed

If it had been Bezos popping into space for his stag do with several other wealthy men, it would have been framed totally differently

It was dreadfulcore. Very rich women bleating about diversity while someone, who happens to look like his dildo rocket and supports a politician drstroying their rights, clapped like a seal alongside Oprah.

I was hoping for it to cra..... NVM.

Loathsome stuff. So extraordinarily out of touch with real lives.

copperbird.bsky.social•7 days ago

But that's how the women themselves framed it. (Peak girlboss I guess)

emilyoram.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yes, they can fuck off too

“Smile more - in space!”

Agree. And how can that cause hope?? It's just rich people playing with technology. And the technology is not a realistic animatronic pet baby dinosaur. Something we all wish for. Plus why is women in space supposed to be some kind of quasi religious psychotherapy for other people?

I mean, I had hope they would remain up there. That was hope.

‘If women spend 11 minutes in space together, do their periods sync? We spent 5m dollars to find out’

Sending seven women up in a rocket shaped like a big cock and bollocks.

A middle-aged man's wanking fantasy, right there.

"Hopecore", my fucking arse.

Why is this supposed to give us hope? And what are we supposed to be hopeful about? Women have already been into space and a number have been on the Space Station for months at a time. Is it the hope that one day we will become rich enough to have enough to squander on vanity projects?

I thought it was a refreshing alternative to all the chest beating we are seeing from rich men all the time. And that maybe some sections of the population still have some humanity

Nice idea, wrong time. It felt more like escapism then anything else .
