Blue Origin crew safely back on Earth after all-female space flight
BBC ^ | 4/14 | Maddie Molloy, Victoria Gill

Pop star Katy Perry and five other women safely returned to Earth after reaching space aboard Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin rocket.

The singer was joined by Bezos's fiancée Lauren Sánchez and CBS presenter Gayle King, who said a highlight of the flight was hearing Perry sing Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World".

After landing back on Earth, Perry said she felt "super connected to life" and "so connected to love".

The flight lasted around 11 minutes and took the six women more than 100km (62 miles) above Earth, crossing the internationally recognised boundary of space and giving them a few moments of weightlessness.

Why are they doing this? Is this the most misogynistic thing we've ever seen? They are trying to promote the idea that all women are superficial, shallow narcissists, and that no women are scientists, or do something worthwhile with their lives? Also, 11 minutes, why would this even be considered "space" by any realistic definition?

I heard they couldn’t judge the distance properly when landing and bumped into a curb.

Did any of them have to pee right after or complain they were cold?

I heard they almost missed the whole whole thing because they couldn’t stop talking long enough to appreciate the ride.

Bezos ran around the capsule, excited. Fell down went boom.

CREW? And what were their duties?

This show was put on to send some kind of a message about women being able to fly spacecraft. Looks like it was nothing but show, with no substance.

She isn’t married to Bezos yet, but she does have a child with an NFL HOFer.

That's what they are trying to say about women.

It was more like a super-duper slingshot ride at the county fair. It did look like fun, though, with their little spacesuits and all.

The whole Blue origin seems to be a joke.
At least Space X can do “stuff”, like
go to the space station drop off, pick people up,
and put things on the moon.

So was it a test if partial humans that are mostly made up of
silicon ,botox ,filler , implants and multiple face lifts can survive space for 12 minutes ?
How long did it take for all those chemicals and jells and. implants to position back with gravity ?

The estrogen fumes in that space capsule must have been stupefying, a real "dutch oven".

Did she 'kiss a girl and like it' on that capsule?
