Lauren Sanchez’s all-female space flight is about to blast off – and will challenge Elon Musk’s SpaceX. Men to man the controls.

Interesting. Lauren Sanches is Jeff Bezos’s bride-to-be, in other words a billionaire when she divorces the chump. Extracts from the Guardian article:

“A crew of six women – Amanda Nguyen, a civil rights activist who will become the first Vietnamese woman to fly to space; the CBS Mornings co-host Gayle King; the pop star Katy Perry; film producer Kerianne Flynn; entrepreneur and former Nasa rocket scientist Aisha Bowe; and Sánchez, a journalist and philanthropist [J4MB: A philanthropist because of Bezos’s money.] – will blast off on Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket from the company’s launch site, 30 miles north of Van Horn, Texas, on an 11-minute, suborbital flight to the edge of space and back.

Elle magazine noted that this will be the first time anyone has been to space with their hair and makeup done.

“Who would not get glam before the flight?” Sánchez remarked. Perry added: “Space is going to finally be glam. Let me tell you something. If I could take glam up with me, I would do that. We are going to put the ‘ass’ in astronaut.”

[End of extracts.]

In the light of recent crashes caused by women piloting aircraft and helicopters, the women will be instructed to not touch any of the controls, and leave the controls to the four men on board (whose existence is not going to be announced).

  1. As you say the men who will be “flying” it won’t get a mention. While the female “crew” will lauded for their “achievement” ( apparently looking glam in space). Really a parable of our time.
