Thought there'd be a 'pull over I have to pee' in there

But it probably isn't the first time they've all ridden on something that looked like that.


.

Bezos launches what can only be described as augmented reality whereas Musk launches satellites (and the occasional Tesla), then lands the damned boosters to reuse.

The lamestream media keeps referring to them as 'crew'. They are no more 'crew' than airline passengers.

The Apollo crew referred to themselves as Spam in a can, well, this crew was a can of tuna.

If they truly wanted to make history, they would have made the first sammich in space.

Aim higher, ladies.

Non-qualified to fly Virgin Galactic...

after it landed, why did they open the door briefly (without a tool) and then shut it again. Then Jeff Bezos shows up with the opening tool some 5 minutes later and opens it "for real"

Were they just fixin' their hair in there? No explanation that I can find.

Talk about “Spam in a can!”

Didn’t see your post above mine. IIRC, it was the Mercury astronauts who complained about being “spam in a can,” the earliest Mercury spacecrafts didn’t even have a window.

Farce and publicity stunt. Lots of smartass comments online tearing apart the dog and pony aspect of the "space flight".

A gem from Steve Inman over on X:

Anchovies?

They rode the biggest vibrator ever made

I wouldn't be surprised if they're referred to as "crew" similar to how passengers of the ill-fated Titan submersible referred to their passengers as crew to avoid certain legal/safety requirements necessary when transporting "passengers".

Vgex, that's a solid point. And they were just contract employees.

Now that Elon can catch the boosters he said it saves them 10 million every time they catch one. That begs the question. Where do these boosters go that don’t get caught. Do they just crash in the ocean somewhere?

That was funny, and the door looked fairly flimsy in relation to real space capsules. Combined with the criticism that the capsule has no scorch marks, and they wore no helmets or breathing apparatus, but lots of makeup and hairspray, it looks more like the gals had a quick, high altitude amusement park ride.

The missus saw a Domino’s ad on her Facebook feed that went something like this- Pizzas sold while Katy Perry was in space- 2.

Here are ten reasons women make better astronauts than men:

They look so cute in their little space outfits: Science has proven that girl astronauts look way cuter in little space outfits. Men could never pull this off.

Space is a vacuum and women love vacuums: For cleaning.

If you time the mission right, they're all in good moods and super cooperative: But if your timing is off... God help you.

They need much less oxygen because of their smaller brains: Very efficient.

They have plenty of experience with high Gs from spin class at the gym: We're pretty sure this is how it works.

In space, no one can hear you passive-aggressively say "It's fine.": Just the sweet sound of the silent void.

If the onboard AI goes rogue, they can manipulate and guilt-trip it into submission: Finally, they can use their powers for good.

Shuttle capsule will smell like lavender and stuff: Space travel has never been so relaxing.

If the hull of the ship springs a leak, they can plug the hole with a stiletto from one of their high heels: There are so many uses for those.

Women are never wrong, so the mission is a guaranteed success: Why didn't someone think of this before?
