    Well, if this is some attempt at a virgin sacrifice, I don’t think they’re doing it right.

    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!”

    These Mark Dice types are always behind the times. Baphomet was so 2010. DEI and Great Replacement are the cool thing now.

    This is the clearest case I have ever seen of pareidolia I have ever seen, and I saw people talking about sphinxes on Mars.

    Katy Perry was literally 30 Rock’s Jenna Maroney. Here are some of her literal quotes while in space

    “It’s not about me, I’m here to talk about the world.”

    She then sings

    “We’re going to put the ass in astronaut.”

    “for the benefit of Earth.”

      I don’t know who this lady is, but after reading this my already low wish to change that vanished.

    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.

    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?

        I grew up loving The X-Files, so conspiracy stuff was always interesting to me. I never bought into any of it, but it used to be fun.

        I blame reality TV for our current state. They took what was probably one of the best tropes in sci-fi, started talking about it in documentary form, and a whole generation of brainless fucking idiots took it way too seriously, ruining it for the rest of us. Shows like Ancient Aliens took the whole “just asking questions” tactic to insane levels, and it bled over into politics and social issues, providing cover for people to “question” if wildfires may have been started by Jewish space lasers. It’s so infuriating.

    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.

        You’re right, I did misremember a little bit. It was actually a “all-female” space walk that was cancelled. Which included two women. It was cancelled because they only had one small spacesuit for the space walk. For all of two women.
