Contributions of many women scientists are being wiped from NASA's website and records due to the "purge of DEI" going on right now. I'm sure that there are women losing their jobs at NASA right now while it is being dismantled in favor of private companies.

It was an egregious expenditure of wealth that enriches a company belonging to Jeff fucking Bezos.

This launch was nothing groundbreaking. It didn't push any scientific or "hardware" boundaries or make any discoveries. No experiments were done. Not even launching a sattelite, sending resources to/from ISS or anything useful to humanity. It was purely done for the PR bit, nothing more.

To me, this all reads like the abysmally tone deaf celebrities singing on youtube and complaining about how hard it was for them during the start of covid lockdowns. Except now for space flight.

Actual hate may be an extreme reaction, but exhaustion (a feeling of "so what") and disgust I think is fair. And that's more than enough reason to enjoy a stupid joke like this, despite the fact that they did go through some months of training for this (making them astronauts).

Incredibly little of my feelings about this has anything to do with Katy Perry.
