    Celebrating 5 women giggling as they ride around in a rich man’s vehicle while the rest of the world burns is the perfect 2025 moment. I’m reeling from the fact that their “motto” was “taking up space!”

    The layers of irony are so thick they are collapsing upon themselves…

    The first ‘female-only crew’ in space is technically Valentina Tereshkova (she went alone). Not these women.

      I think you’re misunderstanding, but it’s an easy one with the phrasing.

      It’s not that women are being inspired by Blue Origin to go into aerospace. Its that this intangible PR stunt of “Inspiration” does little good for women who work/worked for NASA that are being scrubbed away.
