No? I don’t feel “empowered” by any piece of media. It’s a cool concept because I love women, but I doubt I’ll watch it unless it’s personally recommended to me.
No. I’m not empowered by propaganda.
No. They’re all media bots. Get me a crew of real female astronauts and then I’ll be impressed/excited.
Taking a 20 minute trip to nowhere and then landing isn’t particularly inspiring to me, no.
Doing it as part of a money laundering scheme for a billionaire’s hobby even less so.
I could not care less about it.
I dont think anything celebrities can do will ever be empowering sorry. Especially when jeff bezos is involved lmao
No. I’m impressed by female astronauts who worked hard to go to space. I’m not impressed with people who use life-changing money for a vanity roller coaster trip to space.
No. They essentially took an uber. For like 20 minutes. That’s very boring.
I find actual astronauts somewhat inspiring, because they put a lot of work into achieving what they do.
No. They are attention seekers and money wasters.
No, it was a stunt – they are not scientists, nothing was proven/discovered; the 11 minutes means nothing were a photo op to prop up a naxi. The women will say things like awesome, I saw god, we are making strides for women. No, it was a ship of fools. The outfits alone were ridiculous; modern star trek. King will be on the news looking quite concerned over the dismantling of democracy. She would furrow her brow if only she could.
You know who was inspiring – Sally Ride, a true astronaut and scientist and all the other women who were able to become astronauts because they studied and trained twice as hard as any man to be able to be chosen to go to space.
The worst part about it is that this was funded by Bezos and he could have instead paid his workers a more livable wage or I dunno solved world poverty and still been the richest man on the planet.
Put your money where your mouth is!
As a Canadian I’m morally obligated to poo poo anything American. Sorry.
What charity work does Jeff Bezos do
The whole thing seems so forced and performative. I feel like the selected crew members could have been more meaningful
No. A bunch of rich, tone-deaf, out of touch “celebs” going into “space” for 10 minutes. yeah no im ok.
Women have been going to space regularly for years. This is just a publicity stunt, not empowering at all.
I feel empowered by women like Nancy Roman and Katherine Johnson.
