6 influencers going into space, not astronauts.
Well, if this is some attempt at a virgin sacrifice, I don't think they're doing it right.
Yeah but practice makes perfect
if i were a deity, i’d rather have some fun people sacrificed than a bunch of boring virgins….
Pretty sure one of them ain't a virgin. Could be wrong but id bet a beer on it
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!"
These Mark Dice types are always behind the times. Baphomet was so 2010. DEI and Great Replacement are the cool thing now.
I mean, they're not wrong that billionaires going to space is just mocking people...
This is the clearest case I have ever seen of pareidolia I have ever seen, and I saw people talking about sphinxes on Mars.

Somebody’s been watching Season 3 of Agents of SHIELD and thinking it’s a documentary
Bezos and Musk are both the type to lazily rip off movie villains
OKAY, sure, but the bottom two remind me a bit of...
...IA! fthagn!!!
Man this would be so cool if true, but sadly it's just rich people showing off
That would be so much cooler than what it actually was.
Katy Perry was real life 30 Rock's Jenna Maroney. Here are some of her literal quotes while in space
"It's not about me, I'm here to talk about the world."
She then sings
"We're going to put the ass in astronaut."
"for the benefit of Earth."
I don't know who this lady is, but after reading this my already low wish to change that vanished.
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.
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?
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.
They just want you to think they're incompetent...
I get that. I used to follow (not believe) conspiracy theories because it's so fantastical that I read them as like, life fanfic.
But these people don't share my type of interest in it. They're more like Christians pushing their beliefs.
The reality is that we're all just human. None better than the rest. But the thing is no individual or even group can say they 100% now how the full functions of the economic machine we've built even work. Let alone geopolitics or the myriad of other functions of the global society. We're all on a ship with no captain or crew, and while we try to get the smartest people in the right positions to figure it out and get us moving the right direction, it doesn't always work when we succeed and definitely not when we fail.
Could you imagine a world where the rich just outright state the cruelties they will inflict on us? How ridiculous
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.
Aren't spacesuits tailor made? Actual spacesuits, not flight suits.
Yes, not sure if they still are but were made in Delaware
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.
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!
This is a rich people's vanity project. Spinning it as some kind of victory for womens' empowerment is complete bullshit.
Especially when you're removing the names of women who actually achieved something.
just like Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris running for president….
i very much want a woman president, but not just any woman and voting for them solely because they’re women with virtually no other accomplishments (i did vote for both of them, but just because trump is cheeto hitler)
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
The news media
From what I've seen, that's the spin coming from the participants themselves.
