Echazarreta, whose flight is sponsored by the nonprofit Space for Humanity, will be the first Mexican-born woman and one of the youngest women to fly to space. And also a layup for Laz.

Echazarreta, 26, will prove them wrong Saturday when she joins a diverse international crew boarding the fifth passenger flight by Blue Origin, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ space travel venture.So basically, space tourists.

"Indigenous or Latino". Those are the same, one of several Mexican Indian tribes. Guess she feels need to check off several boxes?
Doesn't matter to me so long as she stays IN MEXICO.

But is she a lesbian? That’s the only thing that matters.

Earlier this year, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson announced the agency’s first-ever equity plan “to further identify and remove the barriers that limit opportunity in underserved and underrepresented communities."In the meritocratic past, the "barrier" was being an exceptional six-sigma engineer, physicist, chemist or pilot.
Nelson is going to get rid of those outdated anachronistic barriers and substitute skin color, sexual orientation, whether you chopped off your dick or boobs, your preferred pronouns and if you worship moon rocks.

A ten minute flight barely over 100 KM. Would be more meaningful if it actually orbited the earth. Really not much different than going up in a hot air balloon, which is a whole lot cheaper and lasts a lot longer.

The X-15 made a bit higher than that. But that was over 50 years ago and done by white men.
To: American Number 181269513
Maybe the Thai space program will take her up higher?

“diverse international crew” *barf*
As you said, she’s a space tourist.
Her happenstance of coming from Mexico is what is being celebrated, not any achievements. And she doesn’t even “get” that.

Oh no! (Illegal) aliens from space!
