Katy + Lauren = Space Karen

Celebrating 5 women giggling as they ride around in a rich man's vehicle while the rest of the world burns is the perfect 2025 moment. I'm reeling from the fact that their "motto" was "taking up space!"

The layers of irony are so thick they are collapsing upon themselves....

The era of irony has ended; we have entered the era of farce.

The first 'female-only crew' in space is technically Valentina Tereshkova (she went alone). Not these women.

Evil Russian Communist so she doesn't count

[–] nargis@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 month ago

Communists aren't evil. That stinks of red scare propaganda. Though apparently she did vote for the Ukrainian invasion, which sucks. And no, that doesn't devalue the achievements of the Soviet Space program. It does count.

[–] Phoenixbouncing@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Also she actually had to do some work. Where's the fun in that?

This post makes no sense, they launched with Blue Origin. It has nothing to do with NASA.

[–] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

I think you're misunderstanding, but it's an easy one with the phrasing.

It's not that women are being inspired by Blue Origin to go into aerospace. Its that this intangible PR stunt of "Inspiration" does little good for women who work/worked for NASA that are being scrubbed away.

Suni Williams would like a word.

I don’t even pay attention to that vapid idiot anymore, and I’ve got full-blown Katy Perry fatigue from all this bullshit being blasted in everyone’s face. What a bunch of pretentious, gross assholes who failed to read the room at a time when it seriously needs to be read.
