Jenna, I'm so glad you've retained your sense of humor. Quite honestly, I am so incredibly sickened by these disgustingly entitled idiots - they contribute absolutely nothing to humanity, yet think we give a rat's a** about how open, and loving, and CHANGED they were over this charade. I gotta go now. I'm preparing to go to the grocery today, and I have the film crew getting ready to capture all of my FEELINGS as I exit the self-check line.
This stunt has a very ‘let them eat cake’ vibe. No, it wasn’t inspiring to young girls because it wasn’t about anything but being rich and doing something only rich people can do.
The people and ‘news’ organizations pushing this as a huge accomplishment are the same ones who still don’t understand why Trump won the election last year. Society has moved on from their BS.
Valerie, ya nailed it with "let them eat cake." Your comment brought to mind the example of another pomposterous and pretentious "talking-down to the little people": BIOSPHERE 2!!! [Earth is Biosphere 1. These days it would have been labeled BIOSPHERE 2 POINT OH!!!]
Q. [to perplexity.ai] What "cheats" were involved in the publicity around Biosphere 2? [If you just ask about "Biosphere 2" you get an answer shilling the supposed "continuing scientific contributions," but if you FORCE the issue of cheating, you get a different one--which AI will then tell you is "the same, only different."]
A: The publicity around Biosphere 2 involved several notable "cheats" or deceptive practices that undermined its advertised claims of being a fully self-sustaining, closed ecological system:
Secret Installation of a CO2 Scrubber: Despite public claims that the atmosphere inside Biosphere 2 was recycled entirely naturally, the crew or project managers secretly installed a carbon dioxide scrubber device to artificially manage and reduce dangerously high CO2 levels. This was kept hidden initially, violating the project's goal of complete ecological closure.
Supplementing with Outside Air and Food: Fresh air was pumped in from outside the sealed environment, and the artificial world was stocked with food ahead of time. This contradicted the claim that the crew was entirely independent and untouched by the outside world.
Allegations of Data Tampering and Concealment: There were accusations that computer programs monitoring conditions inside the dome were designed to permit tampering with data. Some crew members allegedly smuggled in supplies secretly, and the project management was accused of suppressing negative information and suing critics to maintain a positive public image.
Cult-Like Management and Questionable Scientific Credentials: Critics described the core group behind Biosphere 2 as a "clique" with a non-scientific, cult-like atmosphere, originating from a theatrical and philosophical community rather than mainstream scientific research. This fueled skepticism about the scientific rigor and transparency of the project.
Inept Public Relations and Media Sensationalism: The project courted intense media attention, which led to sensational coverage and polarized public perception. While the project was hyped as revolutionary, it also faced mockery and dismissal, partly due to the lack of transparency and the "cheats" uncovered.
If only we COULD remember better! We seem to fall for the same old stuff over and over, (over)dressed up in the latest jumpsuits. WHY can't we pass this information down to following generations?? (I actually know why, but it's a Christian answer.)
I think people who lived through it remember things (like our generation with Covid), but as time goes on it’s less tangible, it gets filtered by the time it gets to the history books, etc.
Exactly why no one takes them seriously when they lament the plight of the poor, marginalized, etc. Imagine how many kids could be fed, educated, vaccinated (😱🤬), etc. with what this cost! I mean, I support an orphanage and preK-8th grade (working on raising funds for 9-12) top notch school for the underprivileged in Kenya, and it’s only $50 a month for school fees (uniforms, supplies, tuition), extra food and blankets for the families. Thinking this stunt could build the whole high school and pay for our 185 students’ education for years to come, but they’re so in love (mostly with themselves) now nothing like that will ever happen. Anyone who watched American Idol when Perry was a judge knows she can’t give anyone the spotlight for more than 30 seconds without crashing it.
I'm so glad you see that stunt in the same way I do. One question I had was why none of them bothered to tether their hair with pony tail holders or bobby pins or barrettes. And those stupid imitations of real astronaut suits. I suppose they'll become the next big clothing fad in the active wear category.
In an area of the city notorious for gusty winds between buildings, we used to joke that we could tell a country girl from a city girl. A country girl would grab her skirt (to hold it down), and a city girl would grab her hair.😁
An astute radio call-in pointed out that Gayle’s comment about how insulting it was to call it “a ride” was completely (and deliciously) ignorant of the FACT that Alan Shepard’s FIRST WORDS after the first US manned (yes, MANned) space flight in May 1961 were “Man, what a ride!”
Suck on that, Gayle, you useless, sexist, entitled hack. Passengers take rides, pilots drive or fly. You ain’t no pilot.
Those astronautettes are stunning and brave. They, especially the famous ones, are much more important than common people. They should be given 1,000 votes each at the next election. I look forward to hearing their important opinions. Our country is blessed by their presence. Please join me in sharing awe and elation for their accomplishments. They'll go down in history as true American heroes. 😉
They REALLY screwed up the opportunity to bring a REAL WOMAN, formerly known as a trans woman, aboard. That would have been the icing on the cake they let us eat 🙄.
And 6 women get to RIDE up in the head of a uh.. pen*s shaped rocket (darn "i" key is broke) - this is a family friendly channel, right?
Natali Morris on the redacted channel has had a FIELD DAY with this event with TWO DAY coverage! (Clayton is a lucky man to have that much entertainment in such a small package, because he's having to hold back the laughing.)
Super funny. When I saw that pen*s-shaped blast-off I couldn't stop laughing. It's wobbly in the wrong way, looks like cheap AI. I honestly do not believe any blastoff or "space tour" happened.
I giggled uncontrollably when reading Gail King's characterization of snark about the space girl rocket ride as "sexist".
Especially since it was six women riding a huge cock shaped rocket, taking money shot reminiscent selfies at the climax, then pretending to be satisfied and spent by the relatively short experience.
“It’s hard not to imagine actual astronauts—who train for years, study orbital mechanics, and risk their lives on real missions—watching this glittery capsule of celebrity tourism and quietly despairing into their freeze-dried jerky”
TV series based on the "billion-dollar balloon ride": Babes in Space. Or maybe Space Babes. Or maybe Space Babe Cadets. Think of the plots: how do I comb my hair when it's flying all over the place?, what are the larger implications of riding in a penis-shaped vehicle?, or can I order one of these cool active wear space suits in pink?
The next flight is already being planned, and it features... THONGS! That'll show REAL astronauts (and the rest of us, I was slow to realize) a thing or two.
It was a test that fillers and breast implants stay intact at zero gravity.
Oh Bro! 🤣😂🤣
Da-amm. Still guffawing. Thanks.
I choked on my coffee! Still dribbling down my neck!
One of them HAD to be transgender or else it doesn't count. Which one was it?
I honestly believe this was EXACTLY the purpose of the flight. 🤣 Not kidding, it makes more sense than anything else does.
"What would 'failure' look like?" (Oh no, I didn't NEED that picture...)
I can't beat that. No more commenting needed. Ever in my life. Best explanation EVER.
how is it that they all have the same "cheek bones" and lips?
ROFL- Hilarious!
👏👏👏
Amen to that!
Ha! That’s exactly what I was thinking!

Don’t forget to kiss the ground just outside on your way back to your car

They wanted to dismantle the bro-sphere and turn it into the bra-sphere. Next up in space...the trans-sphere.
Good One! hahahahaha
Good one! I’d completely forgotten about biosphere 2.

And who don’t know the difference between a “Maryland dad” & an ms 13 wife beating gangbanger illegally in our country.
A guy commenting elsewhere said if 3 minutes in space makes one an astronaut, he is officially a gynecologist.
🤣🎯
I loved this reply the most:
https://x.com/kristenmag/status/1912192421120864447
SO great!!!
You guys are all just killing it today. I barely notice that the wind is blowing at 60 MPH outside, here in Idaho.
LMAO!!!!~
There’s a word for what all those passengers were - PAYLOAD!
THIS!
I'm so glad you see that stunt in the same way I do. One question I had was why none of them bothered to tether their hair with pony tail holders or bobby pins or barrettes. And those stupid imitations of real astronaut suits. I suppose they'll become the next big clothing fad in the active wear category.
Restrained space hair does NOT make for good photo ops! 🤣
A definite tell, if more of them were needed, on the seriousness (lololol) of this "mission." FIRST THING FIRST >>> my hair!
In an area of the city notorious for gusty winds between buildings, we used to joke that we could tell a country girl from a city girl. A country girl would grab her skirt (to hold it down), and a city girl would grab her hair.😁
Stay tuned for next week’s adventure in “Hair in Space.”
Judy! Penny! Where is my suit??!!
😂😂😂
This is so much fun!

Progress for women has been set back many light years.
They REALLY screwed up the opportunity to bring a REAL WOMAN, formerly known as a trans woman, aboard. That would have been the icing on the cake they let us eat 🙄.
The trans flight will be next Bezo’s next stunt.
You’re probably right.
😉
They behave like daughters of Eve. "It's all about me"
I know, you really wanted to say going down as "zeroes", right?
And 6 women get to RIDE up in the head of a uh.. pen*s shaped rocket (darn "i" key is broke) - this is a family friendly channel, right?

Super funny. When I saw that pen*s-shaped blast-off I couldn't stop laughing. It's wobbly in the wrong way, looks like cheap AI. I honestly do not believe any blastoff or "space tour" happened.
This is so stupid.
Come on now! Everyone knows - pens don't work in space!
Wrong! Remember the pen that writes upside-down? It was on Seinfeld so I know it exists. Jack Klompus-approved.
All I can say to that is "my pen's also write upside down" - which can be really convenient in some situations. ( : - )
I giggled uncontrollably when reading Gail King's characterization of snark about the space girl rocket ride as "sexist".

This sure feels like end stage feminism.
“It’s hard not to imagine actual astronauts—who train for years, study orbital mechanics, and risk their lives on real missions—watching this glittery capsule of celebrity tourism and quietly despairing into their freeze-dried jerky”
I can only imagine. 😡
I rarely eat fast food, but next time I do, it will be at a Wendy's!
100% same.

Yes! Extra Spandex please. Or the Spanx version. Maybe a high-viz color.
The next flight is already being planned, and it features... THONGS! That'll show REAL astronauts (and the rest of us, I was slow to realize) a thing or two.
Oh, David. I had a vision of cellulite!
Won’t it just …
Spanx!😂😂😂
A strapless version? A skort? Endless styling possibilities!
I’m just glad they know what a woman is now.
Touché!
So now we know that the botox bacteria can survive in zero gravity.
omg....that is probably what she was talking about. Injectables.
idk, let's see if we see an pix of them in a week or two... shit might all come crashing down on them. oh dear.
We will also get to see if silicone maintains its shape after deep space travesty. I mean travel.
Billionaires and rockets? It’s all about “size” isn’t it? Or propulsion?
was thinking exactly the same thing. gotta make up for the 'no have' some way, huh.
