did she call herself an astronaut or something?
edit: apparently not, people don't like Katy Perry/women and are making things up to get angry about.
afaik all the KP hate over this is misogyny in action.
Sp you fell for it then? Capitalists doing capitalist things (marketing) and just because they all identified as women you can’t be critical of the obvious nonsense at play here? Grow up.
They did not reach space.
They did not pilot.
They went on a rollercoaster ride.
Remember how there have been actual all women-identifying NASA crews? That’s REAL progress in equality. Or were you not born yet?

What does that link show? Women have been in space since 1963.
It effectively refutes the "They did not reach space" comment, and also indicates how no one made fun of Alan Shepherd for "not having piloted" or "went on a rollercoaster ride".
Did you read it?
Of course. The point is that this flight was nothing new or special. Especially with the makeup of the cohort of folks on it.
Stop pretending it’s anything more than what it is: marketing.
I think you completely misunderstand my original post. The trip is a non-story. The KP hate is still misogynistic.
Hate of her (and king, etc) comes from her pushing this idea that she is special. That’s. The. Point.
They are 100000% not special. Just rich.
Nah, it's just misogyny. Compare with the reactions to when Shatner went to space (no one claiming it wasn't space then) and also had a huge emotional reaction coming back to earth.

My reaction was just the same. It’s all rich people nonsense.
