The stupid women speaking after space show the very worst of America and the very worst of brain dead females. Absolutely moronic responses to a trivial experience - I write that as someone who flew Concorde 369 times.
No wonder aliens don't come down and visit, the human race is too retarded and stupid.
They are probably hundreds of years more advanced than what we are. People are glued to small phone screens, sports, entertainment biz and deciding if they are male or female.
I agree.
Bloody brain dead screamers.
Why can't they give free trips to the ones who would appreciate it (like me).
It was just a very expensive publicity gimmick.
In Concorde you could sip Krug and eat caviar at 60,000 feet going 1400mph in relative comfort. It somehow doesn't really seem that great an achievement to skip the atmosphere for 5 mins - and particularly ludicrous in a spacecraft shaped like a giant penis. Waste of time and money.
No Jo - not all women and there are many aspects of the female that are far superior to the male. And vice versa. In the stupid TRANS debate it has become so simplified that it is STUPID. But there are certain areas where the attempts by one gender to imitate another have caused ludicrous absurdities and one is - sending nicely made up women in full makeup, designer suits and perfect hair into space so that a project gets publicity DOES NOT WORK when they are interviewed afterwards by another woman. The comments and questions illustrate the differences between the genders mentally as opposed to physically (which also exist). The female way of thinking is often different to the male.
The CNN International presenters Max Foster and Isa Soares discussed this trip into space briefly on the news last night and they didn't seem impressed. They both said that they couldn't see the point of it, with Max Foster saying that it seemed to have nothing to do with science and be more about space tourism. He said that a lot of people wouldn't be able to relate to people who could afford such a trip. Isa Soares said she'd have been more inspired by women who had achieved something in scientific fields (I think what she meant was actually achieved something substantial).

Bezos has seen Flesh Gordon too many times or he is in the closet.
I never understood why people chose Jungle Burger over Fritz the Cat - but that's for another day.
Interesting that so many millions of comments on this gimmick seem to agree with me (though, as usual, I spotted it as it happened live). It not only damaged the Space Race projects but did huge harm to those trying to get equality for women.

Perry used it as a publicity stunt to promote a tour, however she was only in lower orbit, not space space.
Perry now claims she was part of a 'crew' and being back on earth proves there is no place like home. wtaf. A 10 minute joyride and she thinks she's Charlton Heston in Planet of the Apes.

She has his shoulders Cat. However I am sure Perry might see herself as Dave Bowman and Star Child from 2001.
She has a similarity to the ape tossing a bone at the start of the movie.
