Encountering An Inconvenience While Cold: Damn That Sucks, Oh Well, I’ll Figure Something Else Out!!

Of course the mainstream media chose to highlight Katy Perry in particular as being on board the Blue Origin space trip, and now, as a result, two very important astronauts on that flight are being erased and ignored, or framed as superficial rich people with nothing better to do.

btw the katy perry/bezos' girlfriend/other irrelevant billionaires (with the exception of amanda nguyen go research her) 10 minute space stunt was not the first all female expedition no matter how much they try to market it as such. the first all female mission was in 1963 with soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova, who was working class and had to pass incredibly hard exams to be chosen from 400 potential candidates. just in case we started falling for the propaganda machine again
