LPC-newb riles up DUmmies who are all pissed off at Blue Origin for making the womenz look silly. Apparently, it was on purpose that the vehicle was completely under automated control, and it was all done as a stunt to make the womenz look deficient and incapable.

unpopular opinion perhaps
I find the Blue Origin orbital flight with Katy Perry and the rest to be wholly out of touch and a gross flaunting of wealth. This needs to be condemned not applauded.

56. Same here. Not even one woman astronaut aboard for appearance of command and control...

appearance being the 'key' word because one was not needed for the brief sub-orbital, 10-minute joy ride.
Bastards! Oh wait, it's the same as every flight before it.

3. I will say if they were men of industry, we wouldn't give this as much negative attention.

They are women with careers who have chosen to orbit the planet. Not a good use of resources, and the attempt by Bezos and his partner to use this as a pr stunt given that Bezos and his partner bent their knees to a fascist rapist, is nauseating. Katy Perry looks tone deaf and complicit for not understanding that she is normalizing them.
THERE it is...

I agree completely and it lowers my opinion of Katy Perry and Gayle King.
BUT... you thought they were GENIOUS then they told you to save the world and vote for the cackling lunatic brown lady, right?
who would would have thought that the DUmmies would find a way to hate women going to space.

It was really stupid and the reaction from some of them like they did something spectacular other than sit in a capsule for 10 minutes. Makes me wanna vomit. :loser:

Playing Progs' favorite Class Envy Card.
The celebrity space tourists displayed the kind of cluelessness I know to expect from modern entertainment community denizens, but beyond that, their space-tourist-stunt is a don't-care for me.
ETA: From https://www.rvmnews.com/2025/04/fast-food-chain-trolls-katy-perry-hard-over-her-brief-space-trip/ ,
Perry joined CBS News anchor Gayle King and Lauren Sánchez, fiancée of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, for the NS-13 mission, which launched Monday morning from Blue Origin’s West Texas facility.
The group also included astronaut and bioastronautics research scientist Amanda Nguyen, NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, and filmmaker Kerianne Flynn.

I think it's appropriate that the girls went up in a vehicle that looks like a giant penis.

Hi5. That's about what I came to say.
I find it appropriate that a group of leftists who acts like dicks where launched into space on a craft that looks like a giant dildo. Too bad it wasn't a longer flight.

Definitely like maybe accidentally going into orbit for about 100 years :-) :rotf: :rotf: :lmao:

Or one-way.

I believe we sent chimps in the early 60's into space on automated capsules, they also spent more than 10min up there.

Khrushchev sent a dog (Laika?) into space.

I don't think that's an unpopular opinion. The Wendy's Twitter/X account even chimed in, with a swipe at Perry.
