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.
"See, you're just a sheep. You don't see, or underhand, that they're shooting the top shelf trim into space. To keep it away from us. Betacuck!"
This is a rich people's vanity project. Spinning it as some kind of victory for womens' empowerment is complete bullshit.
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
Especially when you're removing the names of women who actually achieved something.
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!"
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.
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
Are the going inside the earth instead then?
I mean, they're not wrong that billionaires going to space is just mocking people...
6 influencers going into space, not astronauts.
Man this would be so cool if true, but sadly it's just rich people showing off
There was a part of my teenage years when I was really into these types of conspiracy theories,trying to find Baphomet the pentagram in all types of seals and insignas, like the NSA's seal for example. This almost makes me nostalgic...
Can u get contact high from a schizoid personality???? Asking for a baphomet
Idk, I'm just a 21st century neurotypical man.
That’s my favourite King Crimson song
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...
I grew up loving The X-Files, so conspiracy stuff was always interesting to me. I never bought into any of it, but it used to be fun.
I blame reality TV for our current state. They took what was probably one of the best tropes in sci-fi, started talking about it in documentary form, and a whole generation of brainless fucking idiots took it way too seriously, ruining it for the rest of us. Shows like Ancient Aliens took the whole "just asking questions" tactic to insane levels, and it bled over into politics and social issues, providing cover for people to "question" if wildfires may have been started by Jewish space lasers. It's so infuriating.
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.
Aren't spacesuits tailor made? Actual spacesuits, not flight suits.
Yes, not sure if they still are but were made in Delaware
This is the clearest case I have ever seen of pareidolia I have ever seen, and I saw people talking about sphinxes on Mars.
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!
Well, if this is some attempt at a virgin sacrifice, I don't think they're doing it right.
Yeah but practice makes perfect
Ah fuck is Katy Perry actually cool?
Edit: didn't think I'd need to indicate that I was speaking in jest but /s
Oh hahaha oh my gosh no. No. Hahaha no, she was on this non-space airplane ride because she is so painfully UNCOOL that she’s having trouble selling tickets to shows. This was a “NOTICE ME” stunt by her PR people
Ah, I was talking about the satanism connection here lol.
Given that she began as Christian Evangelical pop, then rose to fame with a song fetishising performative homoeroticism as "not what good girls do", no. Quite far off.
Like the barcode person said, this was most definitely a PR stunt because she can't sell her music like she used to. Her recent album after a long break was a total flop.
PR stunt in space while women are having their rights taken away... ehhhh....
No.
These Mark Dice types are always behind the times. Baphomet was so 2010. DEI and Great Replacement are the cool thing now.
This is actually cool as fuck. Kill pathetic men that fear powerful women.
