Just shooting rich people into space (and letting them return) for no particular reason is dumb enough. We really don't need you to make it even dumber.

Just think, they can take the Challenger express after they deregulate everything.
Any plans for that submarine company to go into rocketry?
I am, however, a big fan of shooting billionaires. Into space, or otherwise.
Saves a lot of money if you worry about the followup later.
You know, I was confused when I heard about the "all women" crew. I was like, "how forward after all the craziness happening."
But it's just more rich fucks. And how fucking tone deaf. Read the fucking room. "You're all losing jobs and being denied rights? But what if a billionaire took a millionaire into space? Wouldn't that be inspiring!"
I might just be seeing things, but do those flight suits have flared bottoms?
Bezos has gone too far, he must be stopped.
Omg, you are right! That is just the height of arrogance since the only way they could actually provide any protection in the case of a decompression, you know, the thing that is the only job of an extra atmospheric flight suit, would be if there was an air tight sleeve attached to the boots. That would make the pants just fashion and wasted weight being launched. The extra kg of fabric would not add a lot to the fuel costs, but it would be measurable.
One group of billionaires went squish under the ocean, another is going to end up finding out how they make astronaut food in space.
I mean, they're not wrong that billionaires going to space is just mocking people...
Somebody’s been watching Season 3 of Agents of SHIELD and thinking it’s a documentary
OKAY, sure, but the bottom two remind me a bit of...
...IA! fthagn!!!
Bezos and Musk are both the type to lazily rip off movie villains
That's a pretty great coincidence. Upright you're an astronaut, but flip and you're the agent of the devil
These super secretive world controlling organisations are not very good at not putting their symbols everywhere
Someone watched too much GI Joe. Cobra had their branding everywhere.
All just a part of the ball earth conspiracy. /s

6 influencers going into space, not astronauts.
Man this would be so cool if true, but sadly it's just rich people showing off
Ah, yes, 'they'. I forgot about this secret group who jokingly use symbols and codes to hint at what they're really up to, like it's some rule that you can't be fully secretive and have to leave clues for the big-brains who are in the know.
I used to look into conspiracy stuff, and came out laughing at them after seeing the first tRump presidency, and realizing the government isn't even smart enough to handle actual problems, let alone a "NWO" ("New World Order"). Sorry guys, incompetence all the way up!
P.S. I never fully believed them, but some of the stuff was interesting to think about at the least. Now, I don't ever care about them because they make less sense than ever. Jewish space lasers, amiright?
They just want you to think they're incompetent...

This is the clearest case I have ever seen of pareidolia I have ever seen, and I saw people talking about sphinxes on Mars.
Well, if this is some attempt at a virgin sacrifice, I don't think they're doing it right.
Yeah but practice makes perfect

Rich people are the devil
Welcome to my YouTube channel. Today we're going to learn how to draw Baphomet.
First draw the profile of a woman's face. Then repeat 5 more times. Now draw a spaceship taking off in the middle. Turn your drawing upside down and you'll have a perfect rendition of the famed occult deity.
Rock on, and don't forget to like and subscribe!
Remember when NASA was gonna send their first all-female crew but they cancelled last minute because they only had one small space suit? I remember.
These Mark Dice types are always behind the times. Baphomet was so 2010. DEI and Great Replacement are the cool thing now.
Ah fuck is Katy Perry actually cool?
Edit: didn't think I'd need to indicate that I was speaking in jest but /s
Oh hahaha oh my gosh no. No. Hahaha no, she was on this non-space airplane ride because she is so painfully UNCOOL that she’s having trouble selling tickets to shows. This was a “NOTICE ME” stunt by her PR people
Not a fan of her or her music but publicity aside, I'd jump at the opportunity if I were in her shoes!
Ah, I was talking about the satanism connection here lol.
Given that she began as Christian Evangelical pop, then rose to fame with a song fetishising performative homoeroticism as "not what good girls do", no. Quite far off.
Like the barcode person said, this was most definitely a PR stunt because she can't sell her music like she used to. Her recent album after a long break was a total flop.
PR stunt in space while women are having their rights taken away... ehhhh....
No.
