Just shooting rich people into space (and letting them return) for no particular reason is dumb enough. We really don't need you to make it even dumber.

Just think, they can take the Challenger express after they deregulate everything.
Any plans for that submarine company to go into rocketry?
I am, however, a big fan of shooting billionaires. Into space, or otherwise.
Saves a lot of money if you worry about the followup later.

This is a rich people's vanity project. Spinning it as some kind of victory for womens' empowerment is complete bullshit.
Especially when you're removing the names of women who actually achieved something.
It's just Jeff who wanted a bunch of famous women to have a ride on his giant dick shaped rocket.
Who is spinning it that way? I'm really asking. I keep seeing this story in memes but I'm out of the loop
From what I've seen, that's the spin coming from the participants themselves.
The news media

You know, I was confused when I heard about the "all women" crew. I was like, "how forward after all the craziness happening."
But it's just more rich fucks. And how fucking tone deaf. Read the fucking room. "You're all losing jobs and being denied rights? But what if a billionaire took a millionaire into space? Wouldn't that be inspiring!"
6 influencers going into space, not astronauts.
I mean, they're not wrong that billionaires going to space is just mocking people...
I might just be seeing things, but do those flight suits have flared bottoms?
Bezos has gone too far, he must be stopped.
Omg, you are right! That is just the height of arrogance since the only way they could actually provide any protection in the case of a decompression, you know, the thing that is the only job of an extra atmospheric flight suit, would be if there was an air tight sleeve attached to the boots. That would make the pants just fashion and wasted weight being launched. The extra kg of fabric would not add a lot to the fuel costs, but it would be measurable.
One group of billionaires went squish under the ocean, another is going to end up finding out how they make astronaut food in space.
Somebody’s been watching Season 3 of Agents of SHIELD and thinking it’s a documentary
OKAY, sure, but the bottom two remind me a bit of...
...IA! fthagn!!!
Bezos and Musk are both the type to lazily rip off movie villains
That's a pretty great coincidence. Upright you're an astronaut, but flip and you're the agent of the devil
These super secretive world controlling organisations are not very good at not putting their symbols everywhere
Someone watched too much GI Joe. Cobra had their branding everywhere.
All just a part of the ball earth conspiracy. /s

Rich people are the devil
Man this would be so cool if true, but sadly it's just rich people showing off
Well, if this is some attempt at a virgin sacrifice, I don't think they're doing it right.
Yeah but practice makes perfect
if i were a deity, i’d rather have some fun people sacrificed than a bunch of boring virgins….
Pretty sure one of them ain't a virgin. Could be wrong but id bet a beer on it
Ah, yes, 'they'. I forgot about this secret group who jokingly use symbols and codes to hint at what they're really up to, like it's some rule that you can't be fully secretive and have to leave clues for the big-brains who are in the know.
I used to look into conspiracy stuff, and came out laughing at them after seeing the first tRump presidency, and realizing the government isn't even smart enough to handle actual problems, let alone a "NWO" ("New World Order"). Sorry guys, incompetence all the way up!
P.S. I never fully believed them, but some of the stuff was interesting to think about at the least. Now, I don't ever care about them because they make less sense than ever. Jewish space lasers, amiright?
They just want you to think they're incompetent...

This is the clearest case I have ever seen of pareidolia I have ever seen, and I saw people talking about sphinxes on Mars.
Remember when NASA was gonna send their first all-female crew but they cancelled last minute because they only had one small space suit? I remember.
That's certainly a misremembering of what happened, yes
You’re right, I did misremember a little bit. It was actually a “all-female” space walk that was cancelled. Which included two women. It was cancelled because they only had one small spacesuit for the space walk. For all of two women.
Well, the walk did finally happen, so there were adequate suits, although one of the astronauts had trouble with the suit she was initially assigned.
You have to remember that of the 18 original suits, only 11 still exist, and something like as few as 4 might be on the station at a time. Also, the suits were originally intended to return to Earth often (shuttle days), but now are kept on the ISS longer and are maintained by the astronauts themselves. Given the losses of some suits, the limited nature of the maintenance, and the limit on how many are kept in orbit at a time, it isn't scandalous that sometimes astronauts find themselves to be either too large or too small for the suits at hand.
Welcome to my YouTube channel. Today we're going to learn how to draw Baphomet.
First draw the profile of a woman's face. Then repeat 5 more times. Now draw a spaceship taking off in the middle. Turn your drawing upside down and you'll have a perfect rendition of the famed occult deity.
Rock on, and don't forget to like and subscribe!
These Mark Dice types are always behind the times. Baphomet was so 2010. DEI and Great Replacement are the cool thing now.
