Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket has just taken an all-female crew of celebrity astronauts to space in a history-making event not seen in 60 years.
Jeff Bezos's fiancée, Lauren Sánchez, and popstar Katy Perry headlined a crew of six noteworthy women who blasted off from West Texas Monday morning on a nail-biting 11-minute suborbital flight during which the crew could be heard screaming on the broadcast.
The New Shepard rocket only took its famous passengers beyond the threshold of Earth's atmosphere and into space for roughly three minutes before returning home safely.

I buy my ice cream from that guy.
Swedish Bikini Team has more cred.
A few more Gs would have been in order. They would just squeak a little.
it’s the kiddy ride outside of the grocery store
Their New Glenn is their orbital craft which is still undergoing test flights. It made its first uncrewed orbital flight in January. It's booster stage was lost during reentry, and the second stage is currently in a medium earth orbit with the Blue Ring Pathfinder payload attached. It will be deorbited to burn up in the atmosphere, but that date has not been announced yet.

Nah, they are actually launching rockets.. but they aren’t pushing any technical boundaries... nothing about it is... its basically a rich guy playing around for his own ego.
I know, that is what I said, they only this YEAR finally managed to have an orbital flight. I know the flights they are doing are just suborbital 10 minute tourist crap.
I wouldn't compare that to the orbital flights from SpaceX that are fully round-trip with people on it.
Blue Origins has a long way to go before I will give them credit for orbital "flights."

He’s the cringe, cheezier model.
Its going to come in handy when our local pederasts start posting about how fat some woman is.
The Barfing Bimbos.
I wonder if unedited videos of the inside of the cabin during the 15 minute, multi-million dollar roller coaster ride will ever see the light of day?
Thats fine, but even crediting them with orbital flight... it took them 25 years just to do what they have done.. they are a joke..
back on terra firma now
doubtless fixing sammiches
She is the one that wore the eyebrow raising outfit to the inauguration ridiculous to wear such a thing to that type of event!! Melania ALWAYS looks beautifully stunning and NEVER has cleavage hanging out of her wardrobe!! Besides the fact that Bezos fiancé’s boobs are as fake as the day is long!!!
Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket been around for what 9 years and has not advanced one foot

neither has their New Glen rocket.
Katy Perry? Was she screaming or just singing? How would you tell?
Joke or not tell it to the DOD which gave them a big military contract, despite New Glen’s lack of success.
Maybe I shouldn’t think this, but it makes sense for an all-female crew to fly on a rocket that
...for all intents and purposes...looks like a giant flying dildo.
Katy Perry? Gayle King?
“Houston... We have retards”
The mission was cut short when the crew could not decide what to have for lunch.
