Calling them crew is embarrassing enough. Actually having press conferences about the first all-female crew was super cringe. They are all bleeping passengers. None of them are crew.

Calling them "The crew" is like calling a trailer load of Watermelons in a truck "The driver".

They're basically on a fancy roller coaster with a really big hill, with about as much control as someone on a roller coaster.

Why would this event in particular set anything back? Blue Origin is a private enterprise. Sure they've sucked in at least $1.5B in government money, but it's still controlled by Bezos. This is just regular billionaire ****

I think the banging the strong all-female crew drum. Just drop the facade and say some rich people were passengers on a fun roller-coaster. That is far closer to reality and doesn't distort the image of what they did.

Why? clown shoes are hardly the apparel for advancement.
Looking at the rocket i was hmm.
Then i saw Katy Perry kiss the ground after only a 4 minute ride...

They kept reporting this as the first all female crew since 1963.... as if it had happened back then too. Just weird.

The previous “all woman crew” was back in the 60’s when a single Russian cosmonaut flew completely by herself, making her the entire crew.

And it’s safe to assume that the cosmonaut had a very active job actually operating the spacecraft during the entire process, not just sitting there like a sack of potatoes.

She spent the entire trip waving and posing for the internal camera instead of actually looking out the window at the view of earth...

Unsurprising that a millionaire would be all about “look at me, look at me!”

At least one of them is capable (training, ability and control) of controlling the ship during at least some phases of flight. For instance, in the Boeing dumpster fire, the connection to the ship had to be hand flown as there were too many broken thrusters for the computer to fly.

Sure, they’re strapped in for the ride.

But they have years of training, multiple degrees, and get paid to do it…not pay for a ticket like an amusement ride.

They also perform experiments, tests, trials, and I’m sure there’s some sexy time thrown in so they’re better than the mile high club participants and have bragging rights.
