Blue Origin Space Flight, w/all Woman crew, finds its way back to Earth

[Melensdad]

Heralded as ground breaking because the crew was all female, and even touted the first South Asian female in space, we have apparently reached peak DEI. Is there anything left? Maybe send a trans-female crew up in one of the Bezos rockets?

The flight lasted 10 minutes and pop-star Katy Perry was one of the passengers on the flight.

Pardon me for being underwhelmed and not caring at all.

​

Blue Origin’s first all-women flight crew blasted off Monday on a journey 62 miles above Earth’s surface to the Kármán line, the internationally recognized boundary of space. The NS-31 mission marked the 11th human flight of Jeff Bezos’ New Shepard program.​

​

“I can’t even believe what I saw,” marveled “CBS Mornings” co-host Gayle King after returning from the roughly 10-minute journey.​

​

She joined pop superstar Katy Perry, journalist and philanthropist Lauren Sánchez, film producer Kerianne Flynn, former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, and civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen on Blue Origin’s historic trip to space. Bowe is the first Bahamian and Nguyen the first Vietnamese and Southeast Asian woman in space.​

​

They joined a small group of 52 prior passengers with the New Shepard program who have made the quick trip to space. This is the first all-women crew to lift off in nearly six decades, following Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova’s solo spaceflight, Blue Origin said.​

Ummm, I was in Marine Corps aviation, we had the same policy. We never left an aircraft up there, they all came down.

All women? Bull$hit! We all know that there had to be a man driving it! And there's no way that many women in one vehicle could go that far without having to stop at a gas station to use the washroom!!!
