I bet those women working in Amazon fulfilment centers will be inspired by this as they work with a full bladder for fear of losing their jobs if they take too many bathroom breaks.

Incorrect use of "checks notes" but yeah the removal of any and all reporting of accomplishments from every minority on every government website is something we should all be very aware of
circus & bread, ah yes look the pretty famous girls and remember this stunt and not the shit we're doing

Serious question: I Blue Origin actually doing anything else but celebrity joy-rides? If not, this has to be the most grotesque waste of resources I can think of.
Their first orbital rocket, New Glenn, had its inaugural flight earlier this year. IIRC, it performed rather well in the "launch to orbit" aspect, but they lost the booster as it was coming back to land on a drone ship. It'll take them time to iron out the kinks, but as long as they don't scrap the project, I don't see why it couldn't become a contender in heavy lift.

So in about 30 years at their current peace?
Suppose we'll see. Not unusual to have a long gap between the early launches, lots of data to analyze for the first time. Was 8 months between the first and second launch of Ariane 6, for example.
They haven't contributed to spaceflight advancement in truly innovative ways. At least SpaceX manages to catch some of their rockets when falling back to Earth. Blue Origin's only claim to fame is that it's a slightly more advanced vomit comet, which we've had for decades at this point.
vomit comet
I'm gonna pirate this.
It's the old nickname for an airplane that basically flies up high, then nosedives for a while. They originally set it up so astronauts could train in free-fall (since they're, y'know, falling for a few minutes), though it seems like you can just hire them for whatever now. OK Go did a music video featuring a ride: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWGJA9i18Co
They also filmed some of the zero-g scenes for Apollo 13 in the Vomit Comet.

Inspiring “rich” women
You made the celebrity culture. You love it so much you've elected celebrities to the highest offices in your country multiple times watched them rear apart your institutions and then elected them again. Just happened recently again if you hadn't noticed. You've done this to yourselves. Only you can change it.
“…Astrology…”
Great, now we'll get shitty pop music based on "4 minutes in space"™
written by 50 producers, focus tested over 100 iterations, lip synced to when "performed" live, and scores a bajillion dollars.
And people hate AI for some reason. Obviously this shit will be overflowing with "Soul^TM^ "
I don’t understand why Katy Perry. Janelle Monáe has songs about space, has talked about wanting to go to space, and is a competent musician. If you are doing this stunt, why do you want the “artist” behind E.T.?
It feels like a weird attempt to do some fake “girl power” feminism to distract from the fact that NASA is seriously purging female employees, probably going to retool Artemis to not focus on female astronauts as part of this anti-DEI program - while at the same time this kind of news story puts the reactionary chodes into overdrive, because this is presented as a “feminist” action. (And like no - this is tourism. It’s almost gross to brag about having an “all female crew” when this is just a tourist stunt. If you wanted to do a badass “first all female crew since the Soviets!” thing, then maybe show off women doing science?)
Like it’s Bezos wife, and a couple of women with industry credentials. The engineers I met who were working on Psyche would deserve that opportunity and might benefit from it - this is no different than someone “climbing Everest” on the back of a Sherpa.
Two things can be shit at the same time. Still more human input than suno ai slop
not really. I'd prefer listening to Pho Que by dadabots over any manufactured pop stuff anyday.

I've looked back at the Earth, it's quite a view.
A new height for me to look down on you,
I'm the Queen of space and you are a peasant.
Stuck to the ground, it's so unpleasant.
I've been to space and I'm better than you,
I've been to space and I'm better than you,
I've been to space and I'm better than you,
I've been to space and I'm better than you.
are you saying it's not inspirational for women to have your filthy rich husband pay for your unnecessary trip in a rocket? i would feel so empowered and self-reliant!

Of course, they want Women In Space to be billboards, pretty things to look at and nothing more. Women are for procreation and decoration in their world.
