Sounds very stylish.

[brownsfan]

Yeah, yeah, girl power right? Remember, early on crews for space shots were dogs and monkeys. Just sayin’.

[kosciusko51]

Exactly. It’s a flight controlled by computers and mission control. The humans on board are merely cargo.

[rktman]

I’ll do as Thumper’s mom said and not say anything at all.

[Jonah Hex]

They're not crew. They're cargo.

[dfwgator]

Be funny if Elon and Space X will end up rescuing them.

[TangoLimaSierra]

"...I’ll send you to space—as long as none of your fellow astronauts are male."

I'm surprised they didn't invite Dylan Mulvaney.

Is there a live feed? (Not that I’ll watch it.)

[Flavious_Maximus]

Wow, they look like the Goldfinger girls from James Bond film.

Women have come a long way from the Pussy Galore days.

[kosciusko51]

Suborbital flight. They will be up and down in less than 15 minutes.

Dog and pony show...
Launching on a rocket to get just above the altitude to be declared space and coming back down is BS. I equate that to a more expensive version of the balloon ride at Disney Springs where they tether the balloon and send you up for a few minutes before dragging you back down. It serves no purpose other than stroking egos that don’t need to be stroked. When they actually go to orbit and do some work instead of being “amazed” at the view...then they’ll get my respect.

[RinaseaofDs]

Ha, agreed. Now we literally have t!ts in microgravity. That’s it. Katy Perry and Sanchez? Please.

[grobdriver]

Are any of the ladies actually tranny men?

Count on it - that'll be next, to even greater fanfare.

[butlerweave]

Lots of screaming and yelling plus a ton of overacting ?

[central_va]

Notice all of the “feminist” foreheads showing.

SADLY, we live in the post feminine world of the exposed forehead. I think it is ugly. In the 60’ and 70’s nary a forehead in sight on our young lasses.

[kosciusko51]

This is just the space tourism branch of Blue Origin.

Blue Origin’s New Glenn successfully launched their first payload into orbit in January. However, the first stage didn’t return as expected.

“Jeff has been put to shame. He has not achieved the success required to control the market.”

Did you know that over thirty percent of retail sales in the United States are on Amazon?

[Resolute Conservative]

Just like when the shuttle was flying. It only had two pilots but everyone was called crew, just like flight attendants on airliners I guess.
