The PR stunt of the year. So far at least. What’s more vacuous than an endless vacuum? It’s Lauren Sánchez and Katy Perry’s party in space
The all-female Blue Origin flight on Monday broke boundaries and set records in the spouting of girlboss gibberish
One of the comments I saw noted how little time some of the "participants" spent looking out the window. They went to space and spent the time doing stuff for social media.
Well, I watched every second of the buildup, flight and aftermath of the first Blue Origin all-female space trip. You’ve heard of one small step for man? This was one giant leap backwards for womankind. I’m kidding, I’m kidding! What could be more empowering or something than watching Lauren Sánchez make going to space sound like brunch with the girrrrrls. Sally Ride could never.
Click thru at least for the photo. I can't decide what the uniforms look like. The Rockettes Go To Space, and an upcoming series of Star Trek.
And if you don't get the reference to the title to this post, see this link.
It was not a 'space mission' but an expensive tourist thrill ride. They could have done more for less by renting the Vomit Comet plane.

The people that went on Jared Isaacson's SpaceX missions actually trained to do science and had to study real engineering and science and math and big things.
Anyone flying in Blue Origin's Space Boner are just along for the ride. Living cargo, dressed up monkeys, puntas-in-space, nothing special to see here, just another bunch of rich entitled
I couldn't agree more. The photo at the Guardian is both insane, and cringe at the same time.
