What a joke… Honestly was embarrassing to watch and disrespectful to the actual female astronauts who have educated themselves and fought to get where they are.

Ugh, don’t even get me started on those overproduced ads using female STEM icons like props… it’s infuriating how much they water down their accomplishments for a quick sell. What’s next, selling out Wonder Woman’s Lasso of Truth as a kitchen utensil?
Very expensive (and probably dangerous) carnival ride. which will now be talked about ad nauseam for the next 3 months.
Somewhere Gal Godot is wondering if she can make a hit TikTok edit out of this.
Define astronaut lol
This cringeworthy commercial is a total dis to all the dedicated women who actually blasted off into space. It’s just so infuriating how some people think they can cash in on female astronauts’ hard work and still come across as clueless, basic, and completely disrespectful.
I saw Jeff Bezos by the pod that they were in. I cringed when each one of them stepped out and raised their fist or celebrated as if they were doing something monumental. I think about all the unnamed scientist that have been laboring for years because they are passionate about space. And yet these people sped run a quick trip in the outer layer of our atmosphere only to come down and exit the pod as if they did something monumental. Absolutely disgusting.
This is just the opposite direction Titanic sub disaster in a few years.
I agree but let’s discuss it:
(1) you are not a pilot just because you flew on a plane, obviously. You are not a sailor because you exist on a boat at sea.
However, if we take this definition and apply it to space – “you are not an astronaut just because you flew in space; ergo, you are only an astronaut if you flew the spacecraft” – many famous astronauts would no longer be considered astronauts. For example, are mission specialists who don’t fly the spacecraft astronauts ? Certainly.
(2) So let’s create a new definition – an astronaut is a person who flies into space for military, scientific, exploration, or colonization purposes. A person who flies into space for the sole purpose of tourism and entertainment is a space tourist and not an astronaut.
