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?
To play some devil's avocado here, not every astronaut is a pilot. Some are just like, geologists.
The simplest difference I can think of is that astronauts go to space on a mission and actually work and do a job.
Yeah. That’s the whole point. Fair enough. The people on this commercial flight were there as a marketing tool not as a science tool.
At some point “astronaut” has to mean “did science in space” and not “bought a sightseeing ticket so a corporation could profit.”
I’m not a carnie because I spent 5 ride tickets on the coaster. Even if I buckled my own seatbelt.
