11mins in space


[Also on board are former Nasa rocket scientist
Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen,
and film producer Kerianne Flynn.

The spacecraft is fully autonomous,
requiring no pilots, and the crew
will not manually operate the vehicle.

The capsule will return to Earth with
a parachute-assisted soft landing,
while the rocket booster will
land itself around two miles away from
the launch site.

"If you had told me that I would be part
of the first-ever all-female crew in space,
I would have believed you.
Nothing was beyond my imagination
as a child. Although we didn't grow up
with much, I never stopped looking
at the world with hopeful WONDER!"
Mrs Perry said in a social media post.]

I have a message for Katy:

Aren't you lonely
Up there in utopia
Where nothing will ever be enough?

[Mystic Mock]

What on earth is that picture?:umm2:

All six of them have developed Botox faces.:worry:

[Cherie]

Apparently they are astronauts now....going to Wembley to the FA cup final does not make you a pro footballer.... they are basically tourists and what the hell was that Katy Perry speech

[Oliver_W]

As the flying dildo didn't have controls inside, weren't the women we literally "just" passengers?

I know rockets are often controlled (at least in part) remotely, but as they're not also showing the ground crew, I'm guessing it wasn't entirely female.

So while I'm sure the "crew" have a lovely picture to stick on their fridges, it seems that Blue Origin could have made more effort to make this so monumental.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Imagine coming back to earth and there is that hag grifter Oprah Winfrey waiting to see you

:umm2:

Tbh it's just advertising that if you're super-rich, you can be flown into "space" and back.

Looking forward to the inevitable soppy eyed, concerned look on face Myanmar appeal from Katy and co reminding us of how it important it is to donate now and help the less fortunate etc etc etc :bored:

[Crimson Dynamo]

what is going to with Katy Perry here? :worry:

I thought thread this was about Amazon’s football coverage …

[Swan]

Just been watching a bit more coverage and social commentary on this and omg, Perry's speech after will make you puke. Literally the biggest waste of time ever, just pure narcissism all round. And this whole pathetic performance is one of those their very rare occasions where the left and right agree, and actually unite with their disgust for this ridiculous "stunt"

Couldn't have put it better myself. Katie Perry's ridiculous, nonsensical speech made me blurt out laughing.

It was the most self indulged, most pathetic thing ever her speech. Even celebs known for their sense of self importance and narcissism are calling this whole fiasco an embarrassment.

And Oprah saying she's "never been more proud of her friend today", this celebs are something else :joker:

[Oliver_W]

Tbh the women are individually inspirational - they're all the top of their fields, and just existing in these spaces already shows "women can do anything" more than the fact they paid vast amounts to fly above the clouds.

If Bezos really wanted to send a good message and inspire women in STEM, he'd do something like ... have a raffle for every woman who rank highest in their university for things like Physics or Astro-Engineering across the world, and give seats to the lucky six who win.

But we can't guarantee they'd all be hot with massive Insta followings :rolleyes:
